nice

good space, bar seats and couches, nice mix of guys, a bit dark though especially if you really want to see who you are meeting, though, sometimes i guess, it's better in the dark

good place to sit and chat...

With couches lining the wall, its a good place to sit and chat with friends. Bartenders are friendly and it gets a pre-and-post theater crowd.

Decent neighborhood bar

While not a hotbead of excitement, Barrage is a relaxing neighborhood place to catch a drink, particularly if you're not in the mood for the nearby larger and more crowded Therapy. The red walls with vertical strings of oversized fake pearls are either fun/campy or just tacky, probably depending on how many drinks you've had.
