The Eagle has transformed itself into a well regarded live music venue with acts on most days of the week in the converted building next door. Along with the Castle it’s a strong supporter of the Manchester music scene and backed the Save our Venues campaign in the pandemic lockdowns of 2020-21. It’s a Holts pub and serves their bitter, Two Hoots golden ale and Chorlton Pale Ale from their Bootleg Brewing range.
It’s still an unaltered three roomed boozer with lots of original fittings. In 2020 it won the Salford Camra branch’s Neil Richardson Award for unspoilt pubs, named in honour of the late pub campaigner. Historic England says that:
The Eagle Inn is of special architectural interest as an example of a little-altered late C19 back-street public house, a once common urban building type, but now increasingly rare.
It also praises owners Holts Brewery for:
the substantial investment made ……. in the building and re-fitting of its public houses.
It’s a Grade II listed red brick building built in 1902 at the back end of the Victorian-Edwardian pub building boom (photo 1). Above the doorway is a superb terracotta plaque of an eagle with the pub name beneath (photo 2).
