Ferman Smith Review of SF Eagle Tavern

This was a really disappointing experience. I had never been to SFO before and had a pretty short layover. I decided seeing this eagle would be a great way to spend it.
First off, there's a cover. The only eagle in this world that has a cover. London didn't even have one. I can understand having one if there's entertainment or a show but there wasn't. I arrived just past midnight. I had to hit the ATM for a $20 to pay it.
Once I went up to the bar and ordered my drinks, I was informed they were cash only instead of just telling me at the door or even having a notice posted of it. I had to hit the ATM again.
I went to the patio, and there were a wide variety of people. It was an interesting crowd but felt too many stares that caught me off guard, I don't think they were admiring. Not much leather being worn that evening.
Come 1:25 I went to take a leak, when I tried to go back out to talk to some guys I met I was refused entry back to the patio by security because it was "closing." Which was probably the most infuriating thing of the evening. They were kicking everyone inside.
I'm glad I paid a $10 cover for no show or entertainment, overpriced drinks, Fireball that didn't quite taste like Fireball, and to be kept from enjoying the whole bar.
What a bummer.
