SoMa, San Francisco ยท bar
For a landmark like The Eagle NYC, the crowd is as much the draw as the bar itself. Open since 1981, it has remained a cornerstone of New York's leather and LGBTQ+ community, with a sprawling patio, legendary Sunday Beer Busts, and a calendar packed with drag, karaoke, live music, and leather nights. Few places in the city feel as welcoming to as many corners of queer New York under one roof.
