Add a reviewBarracuda lounge NYC
Getting in to the bar was a good expierience. Music was great but the show by miss Trixie the dragqueen was the comedie went wrong! The b@tch is from Florida and aren't pleasant when it comes to humiliation nation whe it comes to customers. She adds her racist big mouth when drunk! So far about the lounge everything was good and cheap drinks! Not as crowded as Saturday (Sunday) but still a lot of fun!
Comfortable Neighborhood Feel
I still like coming to this place, especially when I'm in Chelsea. It's a good place to meet up with friends and it's kind of an "ole reliable". There's really a dwindling amount of options in Chelsea these days and this is certainly a contrast to G. G is polished and a bit standoffish, Barracuda just feels inviting albeit a bit rough around the edges.
Super nice bartender. I visited on a week night recently during a drag show. It was a great experience. The clientele were friendly enough, the performer was incredible. I wish I remembered her name.
Great Chelsea bar
I found this bar to be low on attitude, and appreciated the 2-for-1 happy hour special. The bartender was friendly. I will definitely go back.
Good 2 for 1 Chelsea
