Exile (Closed Permanently) Formerly: Eagle in Exile

(110 Ratings)
Brick and leather
Resembling a post-apocalyptic brick dungeon, Exile hosts special contests for the leather crowd in Columbus. On the weekend, strippers take the stage and Sundays are all about the cheap mimosas and Bloody Mary's at their Liquid Brunch.

The Levi / cruise bar in town

PROS:<br> 1) Strong drinks<br> 2) Cruisy bathrooms<br> 3) Nice back porch<br> 4) Leather store<br> 5) 30 - 50 somethings<br> <br> CONS:<br> 1) Little distance from other bars<br> <br> OVERALL:<br> If this bar was called the "Eagle", you would know what to expect when you walked in. ( Supposedly there was an Eagle in town, but it turned twinky, so people open a new bar Eagle in Exile, and eventually they dropped the "Eagle in " part ).
