Very nice and cozy queer bar with sofas in Chelsea. The staff was friendly, there were nice guests too. :-) There's a happy hour that's worth it.
Pixie Barracuda was great fun!! So much talent in an intimate setting!!
This is by far the best happy hour in NYC! Who needs drama after work - well, there is no drama here! Amazingly friendly staff. Even better crowd. Super welcoming and fun…and no cover! Joshua is amazing!
Barracuda Bar is a cozy and peaceful spot that has been a cornerstone of Chelsea nightlife for 30 years. Known for its attractive drink prices, this iconic gay bar features a welcoming atmosphere with loyal regulars and vibrant entertainment. The owner creates a fun lounge vibe, enhanced by forgiving lighting. While Barracuda is famous for its excellent drag shows, it has also launched the careers of legendary drag queens, including Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change. The bar offers a daily happy hour until 9 PM, making it a perfect way to start the evening. DJs like TK and Max keep the energy alive, and the friendly staff, led by Joshua and Jeffrey, provide super service in a fun, diverse environment. Barracuda remains a must-visit for NYC nightlife lovers, though the music selection can sometimes disappoint, sticking to old tunes. Be aware that door policies may vary, even if advertised to be open until 4AM. Celebrate three decades of unforgettable memories, great drinks, and incredible performances at Barracuda Bar.
