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.

Still a winner
A great place, tried and true. The crowd is pretty cool, the staff awesome, and the prices not too bad... Not a bad experience to speak of.
Fancy
I love this place. I always feel like I'm in New York when I come here.It's sophisticated, cruisy enough to make it fun, and great drag.
Good Old Standby
Always a great place to meet friends. Gets really crowded on Saturday nights. It can be tough to get a drink from the waiters when it's really busy, but all in all a great place to hang out.
ITS ALRIGHT
THE BAR IS OK... BIT DARK, THE LOCALS ARE NOT VERY FRIENDLY BUT THE BAR MAN WAS... IT'D BE THE KINDA BAR I WOULD GO TO IF I WAS BORED AND ANYTHING WOULD DO... WOULDN'T EXACTLY RECOMMEND IT.
Nice, Attractive lounge
Don't make a special trip to this place but if you're in the theater district already, it might make a nice stop with friends. This is a small, comfortable, attractive spot with friendly staff and young (20's - 30's), good-looking customers who are probably approachable after a few drinks. Went early during mid-week and encountered no snottiness at all. The name doesn't really suit the place; at least this night it was pleasantly quiet without being dead.
