Eagle Bar Diner reviews



I love this place. It's what a proper city-centre bar and diner should be. Open early, closes late. Serves 'proper' drinks, good cocktails, decent enough wine list, and un-poncy food at realistic prices. Service is good, though can be slightly erratic. You can visit with colleagues, with friends, or come here on a date. I'm a fan and it's a mystery to me why there aren't more places like this in London.

We had a great party here last Friday. The place was packed. Great music, atmosphere and eye candy. A local bar with nice bar staff that know how to make a drink and keep a girl happy. I'll be back!

I used to eat here quite regularly, as I work just round the corner. I love the thick milkshakes (they do a great vanilla one with fresh vanilla pods), the food and the cool atmosphere, as did my friends. But the last time I went there, the kitchen forgot the Monterey Jack cheese in my burger. When I pointed this out, my burger got whisked away, then was returned to me with a cold, unmelted piece of cheese inside! Unbelievable. You might think this a minor point, but I found it unacceptable, particularly when served by a surly waiter. And it wasn't even busy at the time.

It's a shame that one incident can put you off returning to a restaurant, but life's too short to put up with poor quality service (and in this instance, cold cheese in a burger), so I haven't been back since.

Yummy food and great cocktails but a bit crowded and the DJ needs to tone it down a notch. Would be wonderful if it was in a bigger venue.

Great choice of cocktails and boozy milkshakes. Try the Loretto Shake. We managed to get a cosy booth. Our tall waiter was rather attentive and polite. What a difference this made to our evening. We love the burgers and we will be back soon.

Some of the best service I've experienced in a long time.

Good burgers and real onion rings! Give the cheesy fries a miss though...

Fantastic place. Served my Margarita exactly how I like it (on the rocks, no salt, in a tumbler, for those interested), great selection of beers (Brooklyn Lager always a winner), and good food.
