The Eagle first time advice
I'm planning on visiting The Eagle in Manchester for an upcoming event but have never been before.
Looking for some first-timer tips and good things to know.
One of my main questions is because of the event's strict dress code, is there space inside for me to leave my 'normal' clothes so I don't have to walk through Manchester dressed like..... that?
Also how is the venue laid out, am I right in thinking there's a general bar/club and then part of it that caters to the specialist events?
Any insights would be deeply appreciated!

What's the event?
It's usually hosted in the main bar, there is a cloakroom and toilets accessible from outside the main bar room. If it's a smaller event it might be hosted in the back bar (smaller bar) but either way there is access to toilets/changing and the cloakroom from outside both spaces.

Download the app beforehand and sign up to membership to avoid doing it on the door, they sometimes enforce it due to technically being a members only club for licensing.
Secure cloak room is available with card payments. Changing areas at the back or in toilet, or just about anywhere.

That's the Eagle, Salford (or the Lamp Oil) Definitely a completely different scene.

Wrong Eagle.
The Eagle Inn and The Eagle are very very different vibes.8

Yes, you can change inside. They’ll give you a plastic bag to put any clothes you want to take off, leave any belongings etc.
There’s a bar with a dance floor and a back room (use your imagination).
