Eagles fans patron at Eagle Bolt bar in Minneapolis | Twitter
So you’re an Eagles fan and you’re in the city hosting the Super Bowl, what better place than to go somewhere named The Eagle?
Well, it turns out that some straight sports fans made a minor mistake.
Philadelphia Eagles fans in Minneapolis descended onto the Eagle Bolt bar, thinking it was a bar for Eagles fans.
The Eagle Bolt bar is a gay leather bar.
Thankfully, it appeared to be showing the Super Bowl.
‘We were just walking around as we were looking for a bar,’ one patron told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
‘I said we’re stopping there, it says Eagle.’
Eagles fans stumble into gay bar to watch Super Bowl
A good number of #Eagles fans seem to have mistaken the @eagleBoltbar for a fan watering hole. Who will tell them? Not this guy.

Just heard “Take that bitch”, momentarily alarmed. It’s ok. It was a bear and it had nothing to do with the game. Carry on.

Last year at this bar they only played the game one one side and the regular show tunes on the other. This year that would cause a riot. What happened to the good old days when straight people wouldn’t be caught dead here?

I can confirm a number of Eagles fans here at @eagleBoltbar were drawn by the name. Including a guy from Hamburg, Germany pic.twitter.com/RQvGRfO9Yz

As Cyd Zeigler at Out Sports noted: ‘You don’t have to be gay to watch the Super Bowl in a gay bar. Heck, you don’t have to be a football fan either.
‘You just have to be cool, and it sounds like a bunch of cool Eagles fans had the night of their lives in a gay bar called Eagle.’
