Seattle Eagle, or The Eagle,[1] is a gay bar in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Washington.
The LGBT-owned[2] bar is owned by Keith Christensen, as of 2010,[3] and caters to the leather subculture.[4]
Description and history
The Eagle is the city's oldest leather bar and attracts a "young, fairly mixed" crowd. The venue hosted theme nights such as "Underbear", "Vibrator", and "Western", as of 2003.[5]
The original owners of the bar purchased Le Chateau in 1980, and changed the name to J&L Saloon.[6]
The gay bar was one of eleven in Seattle threatened with ricin in 2009.[7]
In 2010, the bar received a violation for lewd conduct from the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) for showing a video that contained a man's erection.[3][8] The bar has received "technical assistance" from WSLCB officers screening videos for objectionable content.[3]
Detox Icunt and Vicky Vox of DWV appeared at the club in 2013.[9] "Dickslap" and the "Make Out Party" are regular events at the Eagle.[8][10]
Reception
Seattle Weekly included the Eagle in their 2009 list of the city's ten "most intimidating" dive bars.[11]
Matt Baume of The Stranger wrote, "There is nothing stranger than being at the Eagle during daylight hours—somehow it feels like it should be shrouded in perpetual dark, like a Gotham City where Batman suggestively rubs Burt Ward's package in a shadowy corner. It makes a squeaky noise."[12]
