An Eagle Institution, Reimagined: Eagle Bank Club to Revive Historic Downtown Gathering Place

Opening spring 2027, the modern American tavern from a local restaurateur duo will honor the Bank Building's history while carrying on a tradition of bringing the neighborhood together.

EAGLE, Idaho, Nov. 10, 2026 — A downtown address that has brought Eagle together for generations is returning to its roots. Local residents and restaurateurs Scott Slater and Todd Ketlinski will introduce Eagle Bank Club in spring 2027, a modern American tavern and cocktail bar that blends New York neighborhood charm, Palm Springs personality and reimagined American classics.

Purchasing the building represents a personal investment in the community the restaurateurs call home.

"I live in Eagle, I'm raising my family here, and I love our downtown," said Slater, who also operates Spitfire Tacos + Tequila in downtown Eagle. "When Todd and I had the opportunity to purchase the Bank Building, we saw a chance to invest in a place that already means something to our neighbors."

A name with history. An address with meaning.

The Bank Club name dates to 1933, when the former bank became a local watering hole. DaVinci's Italian Restaurant later established its own enduring presence at the address, building a loyal following and becoming part of the community's dining traditions.

The new Eagle Bank Club will honor both chapters.

"You don't get to declare yourself a local institution. The community decides that over time," said Ketlinski, an Idaho native and partner in Eagle Bank Club. "The Bank Club earned that place in Eagle, and so did DaVinci's. Becoming someone's favorite table or usual Friday night is something we look forward to earning."

New York polish. Palm Springs playfulness. Eagle at heart.

Studio H Architects' design plans combine the intimacy of a New York neighborhood restaurant with the playful, midcentury spirit of a Palm Springs lounge inside Eagle's century-old Bank Building.

American classics. Reimagined.

Planned dishes include Giant Chicken Parm, tableside chicken pot pie, and the Bank Club Burger. The menu will emphasize quality and value, inviting repeat visits.

Martinis will lead the cocktail program, alongside classic cocktails and a welcoming happy hour.
