As of 2017, over 30 gay bars in locations around the world operate under the name 'Eagle'. Bars that use the name 'Eagle' typically cater to a clientele of gay men in leather and other kink subcultures. It is not a franchise or chain of gay bars, but rather a name adopted by bars inspired by The Eagle's Nest, a leather bar in New York City. The Eagle is a name used by multiple gay bars.
