Since Chaps closed in Copley Square a few years back, this place never got its groove back. Constantly changing owners and themes killed this place. Is it Rumor? Is it Vapor? Is it Chaps? The end of the South End as a gay ghetto virtually killed this place. What once was a sunday institution is no more. They keep trying to reinvent its Sunday T-Dance but the over priced cover and expensive drinks have kept the crowd away.

Buy your $6 bottle of water, pop some pills, strip off your shirt and dance the night away. Be careful stepping over the guys over-dosing on the way out.

This is the place to go if you like bears and older guys. GREAT drinks, friendly staff and always a willing crowd. Busy after work and on Saturday nights.

Some nice bartenders, but an odd crowd. It used to be a lot busier years ago, but since all the gay guys are moving out of the South End over the past few years, the crowd is dwindling. It still packs them in for games though. Not a place if you want to pick up someone. It is mostly just friends out with other friends for a few quick drinks before heading home.

Ask anyone in Boston about The Eagle, and the first thing they say is "I hate that asshole Jack". Jack is of course, the owners lover and bartender. He is a tired old queen and is just one miserable prick. Unless you are part of the clique in here, forget about getting served. The biggest mistake people make with this place is that they assume it is like every other Eagle Bar in the country. It is not a leather bar at all. It is simply a shitty dive bar with bitter old queens. It is only busy from 1AM till close. It is the last resort for anyone looking to get laid at night. The rest of the time, it is empty.

It gets a very mixed crowd on Friday. There is nothing happening here the rest of the week.

Has been closed for about a year. Time to drop this listing.

Ah Club So Gay. Its every gay cliche under one roof. Over priced, pompous and full of people who pretend to be wealthy. About 5% of the people in here can afford to live in the neighborhood. The other 95% are pretentious queens living on Credit Card Debt, buying fancy clothes at nearby Neiman Marcus to wear on the weekend and returning the goods on Monday for a refund. Its good for a laugh though. Especially when a bear walks in. You can almost hear the needle scratch across the record and the crowd just gasps in horror.

I used to frequent the RR back in its hayday. The owners got greedy and made it into a big gay mecca for every flavor of gay person. It never worked. Too much mixing of different personalities. Consequently the leather folk gave up on the place years ago. It is busy on Friday nights only and its because of the big dance club Machine downstairs. Its only a matter of time before the Redsox buy they building. They bought everything else in the neighborhood
