About this place The Eagle of Detroit

The Detroit Eagle is the leather and bear bar inside the Menjo's complex at 928 West McNichols Road, next to Palmer Park. It shares the building and parking lot with Menjo's dance floor and Olympus Hall, so a night out usually takes in all three. It is darker and more masculine than the main room, with leather and fetish nights on the calendar. Hours follow the complex, roughly Thursday to Sunday evenings, and the Eagle's Facebook page has the current schedule. Palmer Park has been the centre of Detroit's gay life for decades. The area is spread out, so drive or take a rideshare instead of walking between venues late at night.

I haven't been in years, but I love all the reviews about the fried chicken chain restaurant that are listed for this Detroit staple gay bar. 😂

I went to this bar on may 30. It was around 2:30am when me and my friends were there. At first the vibes were good, The bouncers/security were super sweet & welcoming, Also the bartenders were amazing (even though it was after 2am but they still served us water and kept the good vibes going). But it went downhill when me and my friends were wondering when they were gonna play music we could sing along and dance to. (the dj was just playing techno instrumental) I went up to the dj and asked if he took requests, he had an annoyed look on his face and told me no (i respected that). but i wanted to know if he was going to play music we could sing along to, and he asked in a condescending voice “have you ever been to a club before? you’re being rude”. I feel that was an over reaction to me asking two simple questions. The dj was giving egotistical energy which is a red flag in my opinion. I expected more welcoming energy at a gay bar.
