-
The Eagle is a cosy, men-only private members’ bar housed in a charming Victorian-industrial space. It’s split into a front lounge with a dancefloor and bright bar, and a darker, more intimate “Black Eagle” backroom—well suited to cruising and themed events. Plush Victorian-style seating, subdued lighting, and exposed brickwork create a relaxed, welcoming environment beyond its niche offerings.

Though initially calm in the early evening, The Eagle transforms into a buzzy nightspot as DJs start strong beats while both lounge and dance areas fill. The venue hosts a variety of fetish nights (leather, rubber, uniform) and more cruisy themes. Sunday drag-cabaret shows add a theatrical twist to the weekend.

You’ll find solid bar service with reasonable pricing—look out for drink offers. The friendly staff enhance the vibe, helping newcomers feel comfortable in what might otherwise seem like a niche environment.

Remaining a male-only membership club, The Eagle welcomes gay, bisexual, and trans men seeking camaraderie and kink-friendly nights. The community feel is strong and welcoming.

The Eagle is a distinctly masculine, members-only venue offering a blend of lounge comfort, dancefloor energy, and fetish-friendly backroom events. Cosy, atmospheric, and quietly thrilling, it holds its own as a niche yet central aspect of Manchester’s Gay Village—rich in community, style, and identity.
