The ideal combination of a Dive Bar and a Gay Bar. Cheap drinks, no attitude, great shows and lots of couches to chill with friends or make out with that hottie you just met!
TribecaApril 7, 2014In honor of the Tribeca Film Festival, try the "SAPPHIRE® Songstress", a refreshing drink made with BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® Gin, club soda, and St-Germain™ Liqueur.
- Aiden KirchnerSeptember 13, 2011Barracuda has been a Chelsea insitution for years with frequent drag performances and regular guys enjoying the strong drinks at the long bar in the front and just hanging on comfy sofas in back
Excellently reliable, just dingy enough to have some character, and always has a great mix of sexy guys.

CompassJuly 23, 2013Barracuda is a low-key gay bar, where the Smiths and Madonna own the airwaves. It’s a neighborhood joint, and many folks know each other and welcome newcomers.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 8, 2010Come here for the great atmosphere (check your attitude at the door) and the fantastic drag shows. Grab a seat on the pool table for the best views.
LogoTVNovember 30, 2010NYC's ultimate drag bar. Don't miss Star Search on Thursdays at 1am- the 22 years & running drag contest that has launched the careers of many. Hosted by me! - Mimi Imfurst, RuPaul's Drag Race
- OUTMUSIC AwardsNovember 11, 2010A great local gay bar that leaves the attitude outside and the fun inside! Great variety of entertainment and of course the Drag Shows! So Much Fun!
It is a go-to, cozy, jewel of the neighborhood (amidst some precious dank).
Very friendly cross-section.. a meeting of the after hours with the right now.. never a bad time to stop in for a drink and dance.
Get to the stage if you can! Late nights are best here.
Hotties serving you.. Drinks! Tuesdays there's an amazing karaoke... One of the best! Come listen and you'll love it!
Cash only. It’s a lot of fun but weeknight drag shows start late.
Make sure to come here 30 minutes earlier before the happy hour and get a good seat on Sunday to see Sherry Vine!
Never a cover. If you like popular dive bars This is your Scene. Bartenders of awesome: frank, Andre, a nd jc
BRING EARPLUGS!!!!!! For some stupid reason it's been ridiculously (PAINFULLY) loud in the bar area. Really guys - you are damaging your clients ears. Turn it the F down - please!!!!!!!
- Every Sunday the hilarious Sherry Vine Show at midnight. Plus 2-4-1 drinks from 11-12am and. DJ David Serrano.
Jonathan FichmanJanuary 16, 2012The back of the bar is usually less crowded, but beware the ear-splitting blown speaker they've got back there.
On just one visit, I loved this place. This is what gay bars should be. I'll be back.
Fun place: sweet bartenders, nice crowd, good music. Hilarious drag.
Not very easy to find. No sign outside. But it's worth it. Nice bar. :-)
- LogoTVAugust 25, 2010It’s dark, dirty, and just what you want! There is always a crowd so dress accordingly! -Derek, The A-List: New York
BravoMay 14, 2010Gay bar light on 'tude. If there really is such a thing, this could be the place. - Andy Cohen, Watch What Happens Live!
the more tattoos the bartender has, the stronger the drink. srsly.
Korey LartigueNovember 26, 2011Drag shows and messy queens. Then sneak off to the porn store next door w/ the cutie you met.
Yasser AkhtarJune 3, 2012Using #msure to explain analytics principles while having a glass of wine at this bar.
Call the bartender "daddy.". He'll be your best friend,
Rodolfo EdwardsApril 5, 2015Unfortunately the manager works in the bar and his behaviour is unfriendly with tourist or locals.
- The drags are very talented, but the sound is awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
