Barracuda 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.

Simply the Best
As bars in NY become more and more generic, Barracuda still retains its character as the friendliest, cruiseiest, hippest bar in town. The drag shows are genius and the staff is hot and actually friendly. And you can ALWAYS meet someone. The place is iconic.
best frozen cosmos!
stubbled upon this place randomly. pretty standard priced drinks for manhattan. good music, and amazing frozen cosmos! three stars and not four because the music was a little loud.
Place can def be DARK & CRUISY, but you'll also find the most down to earth people here. And it's great place to bring a group of friends. Zero attitude, unlike some of the 'classier' bars in town.
