District Eagle

Nice, clean, went early and that was my mistake. It doesn’t get busy until later. One commenter said it’s just “bunker overflow” and that couldn’t be further from the truth. I enjoyed my time here.

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.

Atmosphere is unmatched, staff is very welcoming… dark room is raunchy… no critiques!

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.
