You need your passport to enter this venue. Staff are ok but could be more friendly. The venue name has changed it is not associated with EAGLE leather bars.
Varsity Bar HTX: A Solid Reboot for the Sports Crowd (4/5 Stars) Varsity Bar HTX, the newly reopened spot in the space formerly occupied by Eagle, has successfully navigated its transition and delivered a comfortable, sports-focused experience. The efforts to clean up and modernize the venue are immediately apparent, making it a strong contender for a casual mid-week drink or game night. The biggest upgrade is the clear commitment to sports. The entire space feels much cleaner than before, and the addition of many new TVs showing various games means you won't have a bad seat in the house. This shift in focus is clear and effective. Furthermore, the staff was friendly and welcoming, which always makes an early-evening visit more pleasant. Structurally, the bar is still very familiar; not much changed inside or out in terms of the floor plan, so previous patrons will feel right at home. The pricing is reasonable, with well drinks priced the same as other bars in the area, keeping it competitive. My only notable critique lies in the décor: the installation of fake grass across various surfaces feels a bit obsessive and gives the place a slightly jarring aesthetic that distracts from the clean upgrades. Also, while I visited around 5 pm and the place was fairly empty—which is expected for that time—I look forward to seeing the atmosphere when the crowds pick up later in the evening or on a game day. Overall, Varsity Bar HTX is a well-executed rebrand that offers good drinks, friendly service, and a great setup for watching sports. It’s a solid 4-star local spot that just needs a slightly less aggressive turf treatment. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had an amazing party at this place, the atmosphere is friendly and festive, it's a house converted into a bar with moderate pop/techno/latin music
Kicked me out with no explanation and with out cause. Only thing I did was stream live and dance with sunglasses on. Only thing I could think of is the complexion of my skin. I will campaign against this place every chance I get. I need a negative star button.
During Pride Parade weekend their music was ON-POINT! Thanks for a fantastic time! Everybody was just jamming away and having a fantastic time.
