The Eagle

Info

The Eagle is New York’s Premiere Leather Bar.

The Eagle bar originally was a longshoreman’s pub called the Eagle Open Kitchen at 142 11th Avenue at 21st Street from 1931 to 1970. In 1969 the Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village produced a new found pride in being gay and the closet doors were slowly opening. In 1970, the Eagle Open Kitchen was acquired by Jack Modica who turned the pub into a leather/Levi bar. With a few coats of black paint and an old beat up motorcycle for decoration, an institution was born.
