This bar is an odd one to figure out. Most people don’t seem to speak to anyone new — it appears to me that “new strangers” to the area are out of luck with the cliques it seems that stick to each other. I’ve been INTRODUCED into a few of those cliques, but it was only after someone mentioned that I was cute… and I should come and sit beside X person for a little bit and tell them more about me. I haven’t had ALL bad experiences at The Denver Eagle; when I first moved in I actually felt a twinge of “oh maybe this will be different!”…but lately… it’s been more and more escalated drama ? to the point where now… I’ll likely never go back up there. I have had more animosity come from people who visit THIS bar, more than any other gay bar in the city… and I think that says more about the patrons than it does the bar, but that’s who you’re going to meet… and ultimately… the staff don’t care about you…aside from Alex (who left sadly ?) and Tonio who are both SUPER sweet and check on you all the time, as well as JW, the owner; someone is always checking on people to make sure they’re having a good time… but as much as they have tried to liven and lighten up the vibe a bit, they can’t fix the bad behavior of literally JUST A FEW individuals who continually seem to have issues with staff and patrons and more… and it just became a problem for me. I don’t drink, so maybe if I did I wouldn’t have noticed so many things as quickly as I did… but… that’s just my opinion on my experience. If this is your tribe, then absolutely do you. Overall this was just a 3-star night for me at max the several times I’ve been. Service @ the bar? Great. Barbacks keep the tables clear and clean and etc? Great, AND smoking is allowed out in the FAR BACK “patio” area where the toilet is… but the vibe just feels off somehow. I don’t know ??♂️ what it is… but it just feels weird sometimes… and maybe it’s the not including “unknown” people thing that makes it feel like that. No one spoke to my BF and I, the many times we were patrons… until the Owner or a Bar Staff member came up and asked if we were having fun, and I’m brutally honest and said, not in particular ? and they then told me the “red light party” would start soon, and that should loosen folks up… but it really didn’t socially very much. I would maybe visit again in a few months… maybe next year for Pride or something… but aside that I don’t know that I’ll be back to visit much more.

Always enjoy my time there. The food is good for what they serve. Unlike some places, they don't try to serve foods that they can't handle. We always enjoy getting a snack there. They have a pool table, and they have expanded the space, which is nice. Allowing to go outside but still in the realm of the bar.

Everyone here gets on my case for having showing up alone as if it weren't the reason I'm here in the first place.

As a person apart of the community, and sober, I feel very welcome every time I go. I feel very safe and welcomed no matter what time of day I stop. Thank you for providing a safe space, even for someone sober. Thank you Tonio!
First time in. I would not suggest weeknights. It was only us, the bartender and one staff member. Weekends must be where the party is!

The main reason I would return would be for the food, although everything was very good, the service, the attention, say hello to Cindy for me, an excellent cook
