Conveniently located just two minutes from Tottenham Court Rd station, The Eagle Bar Diner is probably the most uncomplicated, easy-going American Diner-slash-cocktail bar you’ll find in W1. Renowned for its cholesterol-raising thickshakes and mighty gourmet burgers, it’s an ideal spot for a hearty dinner before a night out (actually, hearty is an understatement- these burgers are a gastric delight). The food is bloody good. From full-on U.S of A style breakfasts and BBQ ribs to ‘The Golden Hog’ (wild boar burger with caramelized apple), the Eagle Diner will not disappoint.
The waiting staff are charismatic and friendly (and dreamy I might add- damn those beautiful south-American/ Latino genes “of course I’ll have another Margharita Paolo, in fact, make it two- what time do you finish?”)
Lusting aside, the tall, tanned chaps offer an impeccable service.
Even more impressive is the extensive cocktail menu. I’ve never seen such a diverse offering of beverages. Designed by their very own mixologist (nice touch) you name it, they’ll make it. They’re not too badly priced either, with the ‘classics’ averaging the six- eight quid mark. There’s also a remarkable selection of U.S-imported beers and spirits if you’re not a cocktail fan (tip: avoid the lethal Wray and Nephews 63% vol South American rum if you want to make it to your next destination alive).
I wouldn’t recommend staying there all night however. My party and I had dinner there on Friday and although buzzing early on, the atmosphere began to wilt after 10.30pm when most people have finished up and are moving on to bars and what not. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a place in central to have dinner and a couple of good drinks, The Eagle Bar is a pretty good choice.
