The open-arms, pansexual policy was instituted by the gay owners many moons ago, and the Eagle has remained a fixture of the Atlanta BDSM community. It is and has been, for almost 20 years, a welcoming oasis for all people of leather - gay, straight, bi, trans, you name it. I can't help wondering if this undercover operation was sanctioned by the APD or whether some rogue vice cops took it upon themselves to infiltrate a known BDSM/leather hang-out to buff up their resumes.įor kinksters, the Atlanta Eagle is much more than the 'average gay bar' (whatever that might mean). Sex and drugs are so much a part of the club scene in every major city that it's hard to believe that this club was a worse offender than your typical rave venue, much less the multitudes of strip clubs and hardcore party-hardy bars in other Atlanta neighborhoods.
Which can only mean one thing: they weren't looking at other Atlanta bars.
Cops are claiming they saw sex and drugs at the Eagle in Atlanta. Caught this and it surprises me as much as it concerns me.
