    FIRE THE SECURITY MANAGER! He is a complete incompetent. It was about closing time, not yet closed. We were a group of 10 friends (everyone sober and well-mannered) and there were 3 more customers inside - no one else. One of the friends needed to take a phone call, so he got out. 30 sec later he tried to get back in, but the security guy didn’t let him to rejoin his friends and buy drinks because ‘no re-entry, due to closing time and customer’s security’. No logical discussion was possible as he was making idiotic no sense about customers’ safety as he was safeguarding a bank and as the friend wasn’t already inside a few instants before. Employees at the bar counter were useless in talking to him. We were still ordering drinks at that moment, but we stopped because our friend wasn’t able to join us. Politely paid for what was already ordered and not yet consumed (we shouldn’t have) and left the place trying not to get the evening ruined even more. You lost money and 10 customers that would never come back again, but definitely gained a great deal of bad publicity from us. Really well done Security Manager!

    So much fun! A neighborhood bar with an old-school vibe and dance floor. Great courtyard space and outdoor bar, as well. Sunday nights mean Horse Meat Disco! 🪩🎶✨

    This is the worst expression of an Eagle. It was very mainstream and not the true Eagle spirit! I was not impressed.

    I’ve been a couple of times, once on a Saturday and then on Horse Meat disco on a Sunday. Great music and fun. Bar staff and security guards were very polite and friendly.

    My friends and I came here for a great gay Saturday night and were not disappointed! When we were harassed by an unfortunate individual, the staff were so understanding, supportive and attentive, and made sure to remove this individual from the safe space immediately. Great music and setting, would recommend to anyone looking for a great time. The staff are all absolute babes! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Great unpretentious mixed gay venue with friendly staff and various music nights. The sound sytem is great and so are the various themed music nights. Perfect for a drink and boogie with friends. If you are by yourself you will probably meet someone. Nicely decorated outdoor space as well!

    This is a friendly local gay bar/club with some great DJs. Drinks aren’t too expensive, either. The crowd here is a little older than most other London gay clubs which is welcome. Perhaps because of this, I’ve heard the Eagle has a reputation for being seedy - i didn’t find this at all and i think this rumour is mostly routed in homophobia.

    Fun spot the bartenders seem a bit overwhelmed by the crowd. The night we went the had an 80’s DJ. Played some good tunes. Very diverse crowd, men, women, trans etc.

    Nice bar, but not what I was expecting from an Eagle. Crowd mostly in their twenties, a fair number of women, and nobody dressed in leather. Good music and a fun place to spend an evening, just don't go there expecting to find the gay leather scene.

    I haven’t been to the Eagle in years so it was great fun to visit with my partner and our friend. The venue is great - the staff are friendly from the moment you arrive and the door staff were very welcoming. The bar’s layout is good with a large central bar island meaning it’s easy to queue and get drinks. We came on Saturday for Pop and the music was excellent - me, my husband and our friend had a really good time! There’s a beer garden with its own smaller bar where you can smoke or stand outside. Special shout out to James the bar man!

    It’s always a good time here. World-class music. Feel-good vibes, and the staff is amazing. Perfect mix of dancing, drinks, and banter. Gorgeous garden area too.

    It’s probably the best night out in London, away from the pretentious vibes you could get in some of the more popular venues. The focus is on the people and the music, with some of the greatest playlists you could hear in town. The staff is absolutely A M A Z I N G 🤩 everybody, from the security guys at the door to the lovely lady at the cloakroom and the bartenders deserve praise, because they’re always very professional and attentive.

    Visiting the Eagle London on saturday 18 november 2023 was dissaponting . It is not the Eagle what it supposed to be what the name the Eagle everywhere in The GayWorld stand for . It is only a hanging/drinking around the Bar place for everybody for £8 entrance fee. That can i do elsewhere in London for free. Not reccomended for the oldSchool Eaglelovers.

    Amazing door staff and security: Showed up late because my friend and I went to the wrong Eagle (there are a few in London!), but the door was very kind and let us in despite us coming too late. Was there for the last hour of their Sunday party. The DJ was amazing, the light jockey timed the show flawlessly to the set, the bar staff were nice and very fast, and the lady at the coach check was a total sweetheart. The crowd was fun too! I’ve worked in the club scene as a DJ for years and I must say: THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! It really exceeded my expectations and I’m glad I didn’t waste my time anywhere else. Happy to return next time I’m in town, and know that if every venue was run the way this place is, nightlife would be better 🥰

  • 3/5 Rule B. 10 months ago on Google
    Dull. Mostly men ( the dad dance moves were the best bit ) , it’s both too loud and crowded to talk but too empty to properly enjoy dancing, it sort of felt like being the first groups in when a club opens. The music wasn’t dance music as much as music you would play on a lovely sunbathing day. Left after a while because I got bored. Staff seems lovely and I got a free lollipop ( not an innuendo ) , only one girls toilet which still managed a queue despite only having 6 girls there ( bit disappointing for a lesbian ) Regarding the Eagle London reply : It was the 80/20 event Dad dancing was not a back handing comment nor a singling out but a genuine complement ( I had no problem with the age ) And I’m not ashamed to have my real name on here , that happens to be my username for my email. By no means was my review nasty nor did I have any animosity towards the place we went but I am concerned that your reply to my review is just accusations against my character.

    Door staff wouldn't let me through the door without scanning track & trace code, then insisted I fill it in and press submit in their presence. Surely this is illegal? Drinks very expensive.

    A great place to go for a night out, great staff and atmosphere too. Drinks not wildly overpriced actually decent prices. A great outdoor area at the rear of the pub, makes a great local that I’m very happy to visit regularly.

    I visited on a Sunday night which is Horsemeat Disco. They have other things on other nights but Sunday is their Horsemeat Disco. I'm not going to comment , only to say my photos are deliberately as they are. So well worth a visit. Really really. Totally!

    What’s it wrong with this gay club??? When this only masculine gay men pub became a Slightly Camp Men & Straight Couple Bar? I understand that as LGBT groups we are all inclusive but enough is enough, it is not a safe Gay place anymore with all these straight people that don’t behave properly on the dance floor. Better to change de name because “Eagle” as part of a huge international gay branch is not anymore, SHAME

  • 5/5 Lluc R. 10 months ago on Google
    Love that place ! Huge outdoor garden area , fab music - bestley music on Sunday for horse meat disco was awesome - easy access to the circular bar , friendly staff - a classic Vauxhall venue.

  • 5/5 Jacquilina T. 11 months ago on Google
    I love this place, great atmosphere, great music, great staff and top notch coat check that found and returned a cherished scarf that I lost at horse meat disco - one of the best nights to go to if you fancy a wiggle on the dance floor… ❤️

    Always have so much fun here. Always friendly, good service and great dancing. Love their Athena (80s) night!

  • 3/5 Fernando F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very sticky floors! Doe they ever mop the floors? The cloackroom was full even when the place was half empty. The positives, cheap drinks and fun music to dance. The staff was friendly enough.

  • 5/5 James H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing venue, great events. HMD is the best, best security in any place I've ever been to, Jeff is what all security staff should be like and Roy on the door is always an absolute pleasure..all the bar staff are friendly... love this place

  • 1/5 Luca L. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend and I we were at the door before 10pm and they charged us £6 each to get in. On the website was specified that the entrance was free before 10pm. I was asking for clarification and the member of staff say that the free entrance was only if we were booking the tickets online. What is this that? Is this not the same place without having the tickets? Is still free entrance before 10pm anyway. I will not coming back again and I will not recommend this place to anybody.

  • 5/5 SCOTT B. 1 year ago on Google
    Daryl a superstar behind the bar. The DJ so approachable and true cool gent! Spinning some tunes. Nice to be out and about .. with others humans than online etc 🙌🏼✌🏾💯🥳🙏💪🥰

  • 5/5 Jon R. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a fantastic venue with a team that make you feel like you’re at home while out for the night. James is my favourite - always looks after us and makes the night even better. Make sure you visit - lots of different nights with different vibes. One of my favourite nights out in London.

  • 5/5 Mark S. 1 year ago on Google
    Been coming to this place for years, mainly on Sunday nights for HMD, but some of the Saturday nights are banging. This place also has some of the friendliest door staff in London and the bar staff are great (make sure you say hi to James if he's around. He'll always make time to say hi and make you feel welcome). Never had a bad night here... This is far and away the best gay bar in London.

    Particular shout out to the security and door staff who are good natured and intelligently fun while doing a very professional job

  • 1/5 Ian R. 1 year ago on Google
    New Years Eve was a complete disaster. 45 minutes to get served at the bar to then be told they have no idea what brandy is. I managed to get 3 drinks the whole night and one of them was a freebie served by its own member of staff. They have the excuse of staff absence. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence for a business that makes money from the sale of drinks, would over staff for a packed night to keep the tills ticking over and customers served. Will not be doing this again, management completely screwed up

  • 1/5 Duarte C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very rude security, the manager can express his self (probably to many drugs). The security on the door was trying to take the drunk guest home. I had a rough night.

  • 4/5 Roie R. 4 years ago on Google
    Very friendly atmosphere in the air. The bartenders are smiling and nice, the crew are colorful and you can find then queenies and bears at the same time.

  • 5/5 William H. 5 years ago on Google
    It’s my favorite bar in London

  • 5/5 Adam G. 3 years ago on Google
    The Eagle have worked really hard in 2020 to be able to open safely. Very much appreciated by the local community and it won’t be forgotten. Thanks guys x

  • 5/5 Adam A. 3 years ago on Google
    Fairly priced drinks. Plus the burgers were free! Now that's a surprise. So generous

    I went last night for the first time and all of the staff are really friendly and calm/chilled. It was a nice atmosphere and the clientele were friendly and grounded. Lacking lots of the pretension of some other venues. I would highly recommend.
