The Eagle is a two-roomed Castle Rock pub on West Street in Boston, widely regarded as the town's real ale house. It has an L-shaped main bar with a large screen for sport and a smaller, cosier lounge, and stocks a wide range of guest ales plus at least one cider. The upstairs function room is the long-time home of Boston Folk Club, which has been putting live folk music on in the town since the 1960s.
