Eagle

Neighborhood bar, older crowd, busy toward the end of the night as people are looking to get laid. It's definitely a hole in the wall bar.

ok ...so its NOT avalon and sums up to just a little hole in the wall ...BUT BUT BUT ...its also notorious as a LATE NIGHT LAST STOP (especially if your looking to score)

This truely is a hole, psychos lurk, the bartender hates you unless he thinks he can berade you (he is a lush and a prick because of his insecurity). I am a nice guy but meeting that flamer was horrible. If he likes you, you fit in way too well, run if he does and run if he does not (like you). Sketchy to say the least.

I always feel like 'm drinking in someones old garage. the clientele is on the younger side or at least they want to be. jack the owner/bartender can be a HOOT when he's taking his medication, or a bitter nasty old queen -- hopefully you get him on a good night I think he might have a heart of gold but its probably been buried behind the building for the past 50 years. do go you might find its unique Boston charm addictive (ask jack for a Jack-Me-Off or an Anna Nicole Smith, house speciality drinks)

before we travelled to Boston I checked out this site and read the reviews and thought I'd better aviod this bar. So we went to Fritz first and hated that bar so we went onto the Eagle and thought it a great bar and the barman very friendly in his sort of way. Had three stays in Boston whilst travelling around and every time we went back he remembered us and what we drank and even gave us a few drinks on the house. The toilets do need a really good clean as you have to hold your nose because of the smell. however I would recommend this bar and thought both the barman and clientel very warm and friendly
