BarFly's Review of Eagle PDX (CLOSED)
Moved & renamed. Also, different crowd. See Casey's
Billed as Portland's Masculine Men's bar. Review to come soon ;). Gaming includes naked darts, which could be something sweet. Meanwhile, get to writing about it.

Back in the day, this place was amazing! Karl changed it all up and made it Silverado II. No good. He seems more concerned about money that clientelle or integrity toward his business.
Pat is a business man with no filter. He's not always a friendly guy, but he does lay it out and his bar it EXACTLY what he lays out.
Readers: This is the real Eagle. The copycat Eagle is the one on the east side. The real Eagle took them to court over copyright infringement, but lost.
I've been here a couple times. When 'blow pony' is going on, its packed and surprisingly fun. There's a wide variety of guys there, which I wasn't expecting, based on what I'd already been told about the place back when it was in its old location. I went there this last weekend and it was pretty quiet. Maybe I just hit it on an off night?
This place sucks. Fuckin good thing I found Eagle on N Lombard. I was in a sea of testosterone.
Since the Eagle PDX's demise at the old location, it has reopened in the basement of Casey's. But it seems that something has really gone missing... No longer is it a place for the masculine leather and bears in Portland... The bartenders are young and pretty along with FLAMBOYANT. Not the type of atmosphere for Portland's masculine men. It's cleaned it's act, no doubt... but something is seriously lacking there.
Stinky, abrasive and gross...but only part of the time!
Blow Pony is not only their best night, but prob one of the best queer dance nights in PDX. Drinks are standard, so is service, but music is diverse and crowd mirrors musical selection: bears/trannies/dykes/queens/PNP pigs/leather men/fisting freaks/DL bruthas and the like all partyin' it up...tons of fun (but, a lil' stinky...cig smoke, BO and ass cheese not a good combo...YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! WASH YOUR ASS!)
