Seattle Eagle

The Seattle Eagle is a much-loved institution. Seattle Eagle, or simply The Eagle, is a gay bar located in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. It's an LGBT-owned establishment that caters to the leather subculture and is the city's oldest leather bar.

The Eagle has a long history in Seattle. The original owners took over a mid-century lounge called Le Chateau in 1980, later renaming it J&L Saloon with a stylized eagle on the sign and the motto "DARE TO BE DIFFERENT."

The Seattle Eagle hosts regular events, including underwear night, seasonal events, and makeup parties (held every third Friday at 9 PM).  Historically, the venue has hosted theme nights such as "Underbear", "Vibrator", and "Western", as you'd expect from an Eagle venue.
