A fantastic bar. The only issue I have is a can of lite beer is $9, which is a bit of a rip-off, but otherwise fantastic.

I have to be honest about my experience here. So far I’ve visited three Eagle bars — the ones in New York, Wilton Manors, and this location in DC — and unfortunately this one was my least favorite. To be fair, it’s possible that I went on a slower day, so I’m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. The atmosphere just didn’t feel as lively or engaging as the other Eagle locations I’ve visited. On the other hand, the bartender who was working this past Sunday didn’t seem very attentive, and it was a bit difficult to get service. That definitely affected the overall experience. That said, every place can have an off night, and I would be open to giving it another try in the future to see if the experience is different on a busier night.

It’s a leather bar. It is a small space, can’t help that but the crowd was enjoying that. There was a line for entry so better planning will be required for next time. Drink pours were good. Upstairs had a different feel from the ground floor which is appreciated and felt like different spaces to be in. They know what they are aiming to be.

Beware, overpriced drink prices vary by bartender. On several occasions, including this past Friday night, I have been charged different prices by different bartenders - this has happened every time I have been to this place. Question the bartenders, and they act all confused.
Shady business practices. 18.00 for a weak drink in a Dixie cup is a shame.

I have gone to this place a few times. I love the vibe inside. The security staff is always very serious unfortunately. The bartenders are friendly. The space is so much fun! The music is definitely great! The dark room in the back is definitely the most fun! 🤩 the elevator space is definitely interesting! Definitely go after like 10pm because it’s empty before that. They have a store that sells leather digest and others! Will go again for sure!

I got excited someone said the eagle had reopened. I drive over at 1 am and its locked up... seems like the same fate as the old eagle...sad.

This club has to be one of the coolest concepts in DC. The vibes are super sexy and the decor really shows that they understand their brand. I like how every part of this space seems intentional.
I love the little shop inside and how the stock changes and is cute. It’s a must stop when friends visit from out of town.
If there were any drawbacks I’d say that when it’s cold out the wait to get inside can be a lot, but it DOES make me feel safer that they do pat downs. So I am fine being a little cold.
Bad first impression. The door staff are not helpful and bad at giving information. Why not invest some of your grumpy energy into improving your signage? Two different lines - one for some kind of “private party”? The drink prices are outrageous - $17 for a whiskey and coke. The worst I have seen in DC and no price list anywhere or receipt.

Other reviews were right.... Bartenders do everything to scam you out of a few extra dollars.
Short changed me more than once and also changed the price of drinks over the course of the night.
First time I've been to a property that says they want to support the community and so blatantly rips them off. Was originally planning to go back on Sunday but no chance now.
Outside the over charging it isn't even a good Eagle. The main area is fine but there is no casual, welcoming atmosphere that others have. Didn't even know there was an upstairs until Security said it was $30 cover.

I was at District Eagle last night quietly standing along the wall, enjoying the vibe and minding my own business, when a security guard (female, African American) approached me and escorted me out. No reason was given. I was not belligerent. I was not stumbling or falling. It was ridiculous.
I was excited to learn that the Eagle had reopened and was looking forward to an enjoyable evening. Instead, I left feeling demeaned and humiliated. I have NEVER been asked to leave an establishment. Rest assured that I will NOT be patronizing District Eagle again.

The security Von outside of The Eagle is so professional. We will be coming back just because of how welcoming he is

That is some other franchise! If you’re looking for ‘The eagle bar’ like in Wilton manors/NYC/Huston - that’s not it!
