The Eagle - NYC

MARY

Yes, guys have sex at the Eagle. Duh. That's the whole thing that makes different from most gay bars in NY.

The dance floor is very new though, they just added that.

shocking.....did you happen to take any pictures?

I haven't been there in years. I didn't know you could have sex so freely now on the premises. Before, the security guards would make the rounds, and break up that kind of action, especially in the restrooms, and that corner near the pool table.

Sometimes security will still stop guys depending on what time it is and where they are, they try to keep that off the first floor r4. That corner on the 2d floor by the pool table though is the free for all area where they tend to let guys fuck as much as they want.

Also if you want to see it be even more hedonistic OP go to Jock Strap nights on Wednesdays. Basically everyone is there for sex.

They put a lid on it from time to time- I think it’s a great bar and I don’t attempt or care to explain it or defend it to anyone. Men are pigs but I love ‘em. I go about once every two months and always have fun- always meet guys of all ages. I stayed away in part last night (haven’t been in a while) because the COVID infection rate in NYC is as high as it’s ever been. The vast majority don’t get seriously ill, but I don’t want to get sick at all. A night at Eagle ain’t that great.

You're also getting all the guys who didn't have a place to go this weekend. So probably a different crowd than usual.

What was the crowd like OP - age, body type, etc.

I was there once many years ago--not my scene--and my memory is older leatherman type guys, no one very good-looking but lots of bandanas on bald heads and leather harnesses.

But that was one hour, one night about 15 years ago, so I am wondering it if has changed

OP was shocked, and yet he stayed, lingering hopefully.

OP here. The crowd was very diverse in terms of age and body types. Skinny twinks to the morbidly obese with nothing to hide, and everything in-between.

What is the DL if not opinions based on the way things were decades ago...

Le Pox De Monkey

Monkeypox is becoming a concern r12. Anecdotally I'm starting to hear about guys who have gotten it, friends of a friend of a friend type of thing. The official numbers are definitely an undercount given how limited testing and other resources is.

It's sad. This is something that could be nipped in the bud with more aggressive testing, contact tracing and vaccination that we are going to let spiral.

The CDC is really an embarrassment and a joke

Every great city needs a great hard core bar like the Eagle. Why live in a city if you want small town life?

Men not following infection protocols... at the Eagle in NYC?

Why I never in all my life...

Is the Cock still open? If so, how does it compare to the Eagle?

Cock is still open, though only Thursday through Sunday since covid r17.

The Eagle is a big bar to hang out at outside of being a place where some people cruise. The Cock is a small venue, the only reason to go there is to cruise. It's more to the point.

I got my dick sucked by the pool table back in the winter.

[quote] Can’t say I didn’t enjoy seeing all the blowjobs and anal taking place as “security” strolled by. The place reeked of poppers, was hot and unventilated, and there was A 25$ cover.

But, it's wrong!... [italic]Shockingly[/italic] wrong!

I never saw anything the few times I’ve been to the Eagle. Or the Lure for that matter. RIP.

They’re all gonna die of monkey pox.

Monkee pox? I knew something was killing the Monkees.

When I used to live in NYC I went to the Cock and the Eagle. I much preferred the Cock because I never was into the leather scene and everyone smelling like pencils and ass. The Eagle's base crowd was the Chelsea muscle queen at the time. The Cock's crowd was east village NYU students, curious tourists, younger guys. I am not saying everyone was cute at the cock - not by a long shot. But you were more likely to see more attractive, cute boys there than you would at the eagle. There are signs everywhere saying "Absolutely No Sexual Activity" but that is all that is going on there, blow jobs, guys getting fucked in the corners, in the back. The GO-GO boys end up fucking each other sometimes at the COCK, or getting fucked by patrons if they are into them. Not tips necessary. The GO-GO boys seem just as horny as the patrons, if not more so. I remember sipping my drink one time at the bar while fingering the sexy ass of a go-go boy who was sucking the dick of the other one. He didn't even see me - but I recognized him as a gym crush of mine, who actually worked as a gallerist in Chelsea, of all things. People squeezing past everyone one grabbing everyone's cock. I remember there was one sexy big dude, huge exhibitionist just standing there, big cock out letting whoever wanted to to grab it, play with it. I've fucked guys in the bathroom, gotten sucked, sucked dick. Although I wouldn't advise sucking dick there because who knows where its been before you got to it. And security there will step over four guys giving head there to smack a cellphone out of someone's hand. I can't imagine how this scene still exists post covid. But I am sure it does.

This is why they hate us.

Not really, R25. We’re not demanding that straight bars have a special section for us to “celebrate our culture” by fucking raw and then call them homophobes when they show resistance.

It’s behind closed doors, which the straights don’t care about. It’s the trannies and their constant need for validation from the larger world that they hate us.

Even when there was no action out in front the Cock had a backroom. Do they still?

R27, not sure when the last time you were there. But before covid it was a basement. There was a bar upstairs where you can have a drink hang out, music. Then there is the downstairs area which has another bar and small dance floor on one side, and then a big open area, "pit" on the other side where all the action goes on. It's mostly just guys squeezed into a small area brushing past each other, playing. The music is actually pretty good downstairs too. That's the funny part. Sometimes I would go just for that.

From that monkeypox article:

[quote] In San Francisco, B, a 43-year-old medical writer who asked that his name be withheld for privacy reasons, found himself shivering uncontrollably with a high fever on June 14, eight days after he had multiple sexual encounters at a bathhouse in Chicago.

[quote] When a blister appeared on B’s wrist on Friday afternoon, he suspected monkeypox. But his health care provider said the city’s health department would not be able to pick up his sample till Tuesday, June 21, after the Juneteenth holiday.

[quote] No one reached out to him to ask about his contacts, or to offer vaccines to his roommate or partner. It was Friday, a week later, before the sample was picked up, and the following Wednesday — nearly two weeks after he had contacted his health care provider — before he was told he had tested positive for an orthopoxvirus.

What a fucking unrepentant whore. And someone old enough to remember the AIDS crisis, to boot.

Yes what a terrible whore r29, gasp he we went out and had sex . God forbid.

I'm you haven't had a man touch you in years and hate anyone who has a life.

I need good ventilation.

I’m glad to hear that sex is finally coming back to the bars in NYC after 20+ years. Unfortunate timing for monkey pox - but hopefully the inept health care system can find some vaccine doses that, you know, actually prevent it.

I love beer bust. You can grope everyone

It's so sordid and disgusting.

From what you say OP, at least that is one bar that will remain fish-free!

What's the raunchier one that was or is on the West side Highway?

I'm all for gay men being nasty-ass hoes with one another in drinking establishments, but between COVID and monkeypox, yikes.

Spent way too much time at the Eagle pre-COVID. Not sure I'd take that risk now.

I'd be more worried about Mayor Adams wandering in by mistake and shutting them down, but he really seems like someone who can't read a map and would get lost on the way to his own house.

I'm more worried about Mayor Adams joining in. He's not attractive.

R39 Put him in a gimp mask and have him face the wall

i'm not a prude but hate hate hate being groped in a bar. so, thanks for saying that that is a regular occurrence at the eagle and the cock. i know not to go there
