The Eagle

Love visiting this venue with my girlfriends! Hot boys all around. Note cash only, and beware of dark corners!

Bartender was super rude to me. I am not the type to complain about tipping culture but it's ridiculous to have to tip for water?! I feel like it's common courtesy for bars to supply water to their guests so they can stay hydrated and sober up. I'm from California where they usually have water and cups already out for self serve.

I ordered 4-5 vodka sodas through out the night and tipped the bartender $2-3 every time. I asked for water once after that but tipped because I had an extra dollar left. After that, I asked for water two more times but didn't tip. I didn't feel like it was really necessary to tip for water? When I asked for water again the bartender handed me the water but angrily went on a rant saying I'm asking for too much water. And he said he would have to charge me next time if I asked for another one. He repeated himself twice pointing straight at me saying loudly "You're asking for too much water. If you ask again I'm gonna charge you for it" purposely in front of other customers to make me feel embarrassed. Horrible service. I'm sure it's because I didn't tip the past two times I asked for water and asked again. If he was a true bartender he would happily serve me water to make sure I'm hydrated. But seriously, am I supposed to tip for a cup of water?

I was just at the Eagle this past week, 6-28-24 to 7-1-24. The last time I was there was in the late 90's and had a great time. The bar has improved and i was there 3 nights in row. Lots of very hot men of all races, and I felt very comfortable and had so much of a good time, I was escorted out of the building and I should have been lol! I highly recommend going there at least once to check it out. i hope I get to go back some time in the future.

First quality venue for your best bad decisions, lol. Honestly honestly though, it was a great time enjoyed visiting those place.

Visited for the first time a week ago , wonderful experience and great vibe , highly recommend this iconic bar in NYC .

Best bar around! Richard always makea the experience extra enjoyable. He's the highlight of the night. Great crowd and always fun!

Why charge $25 cover per person for a cash only bar on week days. No special event.

There are better places like the Cock.

Best Paella I've ever had!! I went in after my friend told me about it and she was sure right! My life has changed

Totally trash fun. Overpriced but fun. Friendly staff (80%). Almost guaranteed play time if you're open minded.

We came to NYC to celebrate my 50th birthday and decided on the Eagle, Sunday, August 6th. While at the Eagle, we met bartender Richard who we kept coming to for drinks and tipped throughout the night. We chatted up with him, informed him that we were celebrating my 50th b-day come midnight. We ordered a round of shots & chasers which he set up for us come midnight; midnight came, we took our shots and chasers.

I later came back to Richard and asked for water. Richard turns away from the bar, took 3 steps and reached into the fridge, pulls out a bottle of water. I was all out of cash so I told him that a glass of water would be fine. Richard's demeanor instantly changed & his expression was obvious he was upset. Richard went on a rant, "You should have said something from the beginning. This happens all the time..., I know who you are (Richard acknowledged the relationship we had established earlier). He gave me the class of water and continued to lecture me. He then stated, "So what are you going to ask for next time you want water?" I am looking at him the entire time to see if he is joking/waiting for him to crack a smile; but nothing. So I answered him in a sarcastic manner, "I will ask for a GLASS of water next time?"

At this point I rounded up my people, explained what occurred and insisted we leave and we left.

All that over a freaking water bottle??? Needless to say, this put a damper on my 50th b-day celebration at the Eagle!

I guess Richard really did want credit on that water bottle sale.
