Built almost literally into the side of a hill, this hotel is near the junction of Temple, Silver Lake, and Beverly Blvd. Rooms are a good size (especially if only one bed) and the beds are good. Sink is in the main roon; shower and toilet separate. All rooms have refrigerators; some have microwaves. Parking is FREE! About three blocks from Slammer, Faultline is walkable and the Eagle is a short drive up to Santa Monica. If you want to be in the area, this is a good choice especially if you can snag a room for under $90.

OK, the bar is gorgeous, huge, even. The staff is gorgeous... to the point of intimidating. But $10 for a hi-ball? Really? And what's with the bartender at the main bar not having change for a buck? If I were younger, richer and with a group.... I'd probably love this place.

Wandered in on a Thursday afternoon and immediately felt at home in this small, friendly bar reminiscent of my old hangout in Seattle. The crowd was chatty and the day bartender, Kevin, was delightful. Quite possibly my new favorite bar in the Castro.

Have only ever been to Eagle on a Sunday and Monday nights...quieter than Faultline; conversation is not a chore. Great bartenders and friendly crowd. Monday was surprisingly festive w/cheap pitchers. Always enjoy being at the Eagle whether in leathers or not.
