Eagle Bar in Kennington Lane is the sister venue to the bar of the same name in Manchester You know what you’re getting if you visit so I’ll leave it at that lol

I love Eagle. I had so much fun there last week. The club is clean and looks very nice.

My review refers to normal Mon-Thurs nights. This is a low-key and unpretentious bar attracting a mostly middle-aged crowd. Good music, friendly(& hot!) bar staff, porn on TV screens, a pool table and outside patio for smokers. Sometimes the bar is quiet, just the luck of the draw on the night. I’m not giving 5 stars because the dark-room area is a bit feeble & not very well thought out-just a couple of bits of camouflage netting. I realise the venue is restricted in what they can do with a small space that has to double as a dance floor but I think a little more imagination & thought could be put into making it a sexy space. As it is, guys tend to congregate in one small corner due to lack of privacy/anonymity and too much light in the rest of the room. Only in this respect does it not compare to other Eagle bars around the world which give a higher priority to the cruising space-here it feels like an afterthought.

Coming from someone who thinks the Horse Meat Disco on Sunday is legendary, I can now say I was a regular when I lived there. If you like to have a great time with a happy bunch of people(all kinds– gay, straight, etc), go here! I always had a great time, and their special events never ceased to deliver! If you can make it to the HMD on a bank holiday Sunday, GO. Just go. Go early obviously, but that’s because other people have discovered the special aura of a HMD at Eagle London that makes it The Legendary Club Night in the World! So far I haven’t found such a place in America.

In December, I tried to come here with a female friend, and there was a big sign at the door that said«men only,» so I’m baffled as to why one of the reviews mentioned that a few women were in the bar. I guess it’s possible that it’s become men-only in recent times. I first visited in June 2011. It was almost deserted on a Saturday night, and the music was way too loud– my mate and I had to shout in order to chat.

Strange bar really, at first I had really low expectations as I was told to meet friends here really early(not advised) and was the first one in the bar. It’s never a good feeling when you’ve just paid cover to stand around with yourself. But rest assured, it did get livelier as the night went on. Eagle is the type of bar where you’ll end up chatting up some strangers, making a few friends, doing shots of random liquors and leaving well past your bedtime. The music was a little hit and miss when I was in, but I can see that it had the potential to be a good night out if you wanted to just be a bit random and dancey with a few friends. It’s south though, and you know how hard it is to get me out at night, but if the commute isn’t too much work for you, you’ll be treated to some cheap drinks and good times. A few ladies were in the bar as well, so it’s not a totally bad place to bring a mixed(gender) crowd.

I was only here for the last couple of hours of business on January 1st(well technically it was the 2nd) But all I kept thinking was that if this bar was in Chicago I would be here every night. Fun, friendly patrons, a delightful staff(who even let me in free after they had closed out the door register) and drink prices that almost made me forget the dollar to pound exchange rate! Next time I randomly find myself in London, at least on a Friday night, I will definitely be back!

I went to the Horse Meat Disco which is on Sunday nights. Although the name is slightly intimidating, the room has a friendly atmosphere, amazing music, and a decent draught beer selection for my fellow beer drinkers. I was told I would be going to a club for bears, but the guys here seemed more like cute little cubs. There is a fun patio space out back, albeit filled with second hand smoke, a sufficient dance area, and not too many dark corners. The night I went, one man was having so much fun, he decided to go sans clothes right next to the bar. WOOT. The cover is kind of steep(£6), but well worth it.

Tonker on Friday nights is a club for men of and admirers of men of larger girth. The no aptitude bar really makes a refreshing change from the Soho scrawny haunts. With the Pool table turned into a crusty roll buffet and the sausage rolls on the bar, the hungry bears can feast on basic nosh and real men. With the recent addition of a top DJ from RVT, Tonker is now a great place to dance.
