The Austin Eagle

Austin's only dedicated leather and fetish bar, set in a commercial strip in Northeast Austin rather than the downtown gayborhood, which makes it a destination you drive to on purpose rather than stumble into. It serves as the clubhouse for Austin Gears, Austin Bears and The Foundry ATX, with a kitchen running by day, a bootblack station, and a calendar built around Gear Night, the Eagle Queer Market, karaoke and drag brunches alongside rubber and bear parties. The Austin Chronicle named it the city's Best LGBTQ Kink Bar in 2023.
