This is one of the few gay watering holes that doesn't demand constant preening. It's neither pretentious nor overly styled and has fairly normal looking men as patrons. Broken up into two sections, it offers...

Mediocre drinks, but friendly and quick bartenders, and moderately priced drinks, which are always good signs. It is a pretty nice space for a dive, and fairly large space though PACKED! I liked the…

I feel almost like I'm betraying something by disliking Barracuda. I want to like it, really I do; it has all the ingredients of a bar I'd really like, with strong drinks, aggressive pick-ups and drag…

I want to pack this bar up and take it home with me. At least for the night I was there (Sunday) they were playing music that I like (mostly pop), had good prices on their drinks, wasn't too crowded…

"Fierce! Tranny! Fierce! Fierce! Ferocia! Tranny! Tranny! Tranny! Fierce!" That's kind of what we were shouting at the drag queen who performed several Whitney Houston numbers. I'm giving Barracuda an…

I went there with two gay friends of mine, I'm a straight woman. My friends asked me whether I'd mind if we went to a gay bar, I was like "oh not at all, straight men are overrated anyways." To my…

Neighborhood gay pick up bar. Please, don't bring your girl pals, girlfriends here, unless they're drag queens. And by the way, drag shows in the back. But I'm sorry to say, they're a drag.. Strong…

This place confuses me. Sometimes it's really cool and crowded, sometimes it's dead and/or full of fugs. It seems to be standing the test of time though so they must be doing something right.

Pretty fun bar in Chelsea, although I can't say that there's anything spectacular about it. On the other hand, there's nothing overly offensive or despicable about the place either. Given the…

Barracuda is one of the least offensive Chelsea gay bars... I ended up going there twice this week, but didn't stick around for too long: you're usually better off a couple blocks up at XES. The bar…

Very hidden, pull over for directions. On the outside there is a tiny door and a couple red lights as if they're trying to keep the fries warm or something. I dont think i ever did see a sign that said…

Barracuda is like a good martini - classic, but dirty. Went there for a Rue McClanahan book signing. I love Blanche, and so do gay men, who made such a push for the poor little thing on stage that her…

As a witness to Shannon W's drunken drag fest. I have to tell you she loved every minute of it :P This place was a fun starting point for some debauched evenings on my latest NYC trip.

It was heartening to see Barracuda named "Best Gay Bar 2003" by NY Mag this year. It's still the best in town for cute boys, whacky entertainment (that you never have to pay for) and a hip but attitude free...
