There is still no immediate danger of the bar itself closing, even if a property sale goes through. Two other SF LGBTQ bar sites have been made landmarks: Twin Peaks Tavern in the Castro (notable for being the first gay bar in the city to have windows facing the street so patrons could be seen inside), and the former Paper Doll bar and restaurant site in North Beach.įans of the Eagle, many of whom are part of the gay leather community, were anxious to learn that the bar property was up for sale a year ago, though it appears not to be on the market now. Thank you Lex Montiel, & everyone from the who worked with us to make this happen.
It is just the 7th LGBT historic site & first LGBT landmark in SoMa. The SF Eagle Bar was just approved unanimously as a historic city landmark!
