👍👍 Great place to chill out and meet new people. The size of the place is perfect for mingling and relaxing on a Friday night after work. I've had more action in this place than being on dating sites for years. People often mention staff, friendly, people, great, venue, Eagle, atmosphere,

    Smuggled in on a weekend despite the rule of no women. Not that great, no one missing out by being refused entry on those nights.

    The other half and I visited the Cardiff Bay area recently and decided to check out the internet for local gay bars in the area, We found that Eagle was close by and decided to take an impromptu trip in and scope the gaf out! We was greeted by friendly door staff who treated us no differently from any other venue and being that Eagle is a new environment to us we sat ourselves down out of the way with a drink and took in the atmosphere. We drank alone and chatted for about 5 minutes before the owner introduced himself and the establishment, we liked this because we didn't feel like we had our throats jumped down as soon as walk in but at least we didn't have to wait long before somebody recognised the two lost Londoners and come over for an evening of friendly conversation; He, his staff and other guests really reflected that community belonging. On the topic of community its fair to say that the bar does unite under the gay male identity so it may not be as appealing to the other members of the LGBTQ+ community however, I have no doubts that any guest would be respected and well treated. Finally my reason for giving four stars rating is purely based on venue size, I am used to larger environments and once I'm used to a venue I feel I'd like to drift about and see more people and scenery but as a visitor from time to time there is nothing wrong with small doses! I wish to be back soon Eagle!

    First of all this bar is very sexist from my one time experience the bar staff are rude and obnoxious and that was just the owner that decided to keep throwing me and my party dirty looks , great service in kings mind you

    Great little venue, friendly and was made to feel welcome. Friendly staff and clean venue. Really enjoyed Lil Miss Truffles show. I was a little confused to what times membership was needed. Hope to visit again soon.

    I visited here solo whilst having some free time from work back in September. Apologies this is late too, but the staff and people there were all very lovely and amazing. It is a somewhat small but very safe place with a pleasant vibe that not many places i find can admit to. The place and people there feel like a family. I ended up chatting with the manager and the assitant manager(?) Apologies also im not great with names. Both are amazing people and so much fun to be around and were there to make me laugh especially the manager's knowledge of Manchester's bus routes. It was great for me to relax and not be on edge as i have to be with work... if i ever end up in Cardif again this has a pride of place and will be my first visit. My one regret is i couldn't stay longer. On that note though highly recommended and Clcannot thank them enough for just being amazing.

    Was here less than a year ago while still living in Cardiff. I met lots of lovely new people and will be happy to come back whenever I visit the UK again. Music is also not too loud and there's a second floor where you can have a nice conversation, which can sometimes be hard in bars.

    Extremely friendly and welcoming staff! came to Cardiff for the first time and felt the warmest and neighbourly welcome I have ever had in any bar ever! Flare was absolutely brilliant in making my evening wonderful, as did all the staff. I went to the fabulous Quiz Night on a Wednesday and it an absolute blast. Will certainly be returning multiple times during my short stay in cardiff. Friendly staff 10/10 and atmosphere 10/10. Extremely recommend ❤

    🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️Came out Trans in the Eagle. The Eagle is very safe diverse fettish bar, has been under new ownership by bossman Mike exclusively and is managed by another great friendly guy called Mike. Membership is required after 11pm still which is good as it pays for security and keeps drunks out. There's regular transgender meets here, pup meets and private BDSM venues also on Sunday afternoons.... I personally regard all staff as family and the regulars are a great laugh too, never a dull moment. The owner has aspirations for a bar much bigger which will do food also. International drag Queen Joesaphilla Ma Hunt regularly does her out of this world drag act here which is top entertainment and always has me in stitches. Love this place so much I booked my birthday party here. 🩵🩷🤍
