San Francisco, California
Historic SoMa leather bar with a world-famous Sunday beer bust.
The SF Eagle is a historic SoMa leather bar at 12th and Harrison, opened in 1981 by Bob Damron — the man behind the pioneering Damron Address Book gay travel guide — and Jay Levine. Its big back patio has anchored decades of leather and queer community life, and in 2021 the city named it San Francisco's first leather-community historical landmark. The bar's most famous fixture is the Sunday Beer Bust, an afternoon institution whose proceeds benefit local LGBTQ+ nonprofits, but the Eagle runs live music, DJ nights, and community fundraisers throughout the week. After a stint closed from 2011 to 2013, current ownership reopened it, and it's stayed central to West SoMa's leather scene since. For a traveler, it's the SoMa stop worth planning a Sunday around.
