    A great place for gay after work drinks. Super service, reasonably priced beverages and a friendly, diverse clientele. And did I mention the fun, efficient, intleeigent, helpful staff?

    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!

    Dicey gay bar. Love the back room w the stage and the sofa style seating. 💯💯🔥🔥 always a fun time here.

    Barracuda is almost the same as I knew it years ago. Except now there’s more women going to the bar which make it less Cruisy for gay men.

    Nice waitor! Great intimate drag show! Felt like a house party

    Love going to this bar, dont like the drag shows much. The owner need to have dance content instead of the out dated drag shows. The music is great, the drinks is a reasonable price, love the mix crowd of people.

    A great place to relax at night. The audience is different, the choice for every taste. Price and quality correspond. Young Queens are very effective.You can get two free cocktails on the promotion and a private room for an hour. To do this, you need to register on 909gay,com create a profile and just show it to the administrator. I love this place.

    This place was the perfect spot to get lost to the music. Props to the DJ for playing all the bops during Pride weekend! I had a blast in here dancing the night away. Oh and Greg! Sir Manager Greg was awesome and even on our way out introduced us to a sister spot nearby. Happy Pride!

    Love this place! Cute Bartenders, great djs and drag shows almost every day. Favorite show has to be Star Trek nights on Saturdays with Heather Wood.

    Great spot for a strong drink and some gay fun!

  • Review 15 (2019-07-01 - Rating: 5)

    Had a really lovely time today after the Pride Parade! No cover charge, unlike the other bars we tried, though we did have to pay $6 to check our bags. Just a really welcoming, fun atmosphere. The bartenders were really sweet and attentive, and just really happy amd excited. They kept spraying the crowd with water which was so welcome, as everyone was dancing up a storm.

    Old-school dive bar with accessible prices and lots of fun.

  • Review 18 (2012-06-28 - Rating: 4)

    Come 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.

  • Review 19 (2020-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    Good spot with nice drinks. The back area where they have sofas were perfect for a good conversation.

  • Review 26 (2022-10-20 - Rating: 5)

    On a trip from Scotland with my best friend. The two of us had the best night. Queen Petti Cash was incredible! The staff were so friendly- from the bar staff charging our phones to the security guard making sure that we got into a taxi okay. The vibe was amazing, so lively even for a Wednesday night! Can’t wait for our next trip to NYC as we will back to visit our friends at Barracuda Lounge. Thanks again for such a great night!

    Cute gay bar, local favorite

  • Review 28 (2022-06-13 - Rating: 5)

    I have been here a few times and Ive really enjoyed it. The bartenders are really friendly and made great drinks. Not a huge selection of beers though. Its never been really busy when I have went, except one Friday night, but even then it wasnt packed. I was still able to mingle and hear people speaking to me. The bouncer on one occasion wasnt waiting at the door when I walked in so he got up and walked towards me without saying anything so I had to awkwardly walk backwards outside of the door, then he gestured to see my I.D., again without saying anything. I thought he could have been a little more tactful, but he was just doing his job.

    Fun bar nice location great and fun staff.

  • Review 31 (2022-08-18 - Rating: 5)

    Barracuda offers good, reasonably priced drinks served by friendly, attentive bartenders. Its a great place to enjoy a drink and music, or venture into the back for a typically great show.

  • Review 32 (2022-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    I had the most wonderful time! Great staff, great drinks, great people, great drag show!

  • Review 33 (2018-08-06 - Rating: 4)

    This bar is a good place to meet someone for drinks after work. Plenty of seating, happy hour prices and they dont blast the music. The bartenders are usually attentive, so easy to get served.Like most places, traffic is light early in the week, but Friday nights are busy (I havent been on a Saturday night).The bar is CASH ONLY, but there is a non-bank ATM.

    Its nice to go to a 90% hiphop and Caribbean only bar the boys are very good looking delicious eye candy

  • Review 35 (2017-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    I mean, its my favorite bar in the city.

  • Review 36 (2017-10-05 - Rating: 4)

    A bit narrow, but a true dive bar if you ever saw one.

  • Review 37 (2016-08-23 - Rating: 4)

    This is what a seedy dive should be. It has atmosphere with a fun and as xpected crass drag show. I went there alone at around 1am and felt very comfortable being there (I am a hetero female in my 50s). If you are lucky you might even catch a celeb being allowed to blend into the crowd. Hope nothing changes for when I go on my next trip to New York.
