Barracuda
275 W. 22nd St. and Eighth Ave. NY,NY
If Barracuda was any Golden Girl it would be Sophia (RIP Estelle Getty): the oldest, wisest, cut to the chase truth with a lot of sass. Barracuda is a gay institution, situated in the mecca of Chelsea. Expect men of all ages, expect great music, and expect strong handsome drinks from strong handsome bartenders. Monday nights Peppermint and T Boy entertain the boys, while Wednesdays are all POP with Miss BritHo.

Nestled between gay mainstays The Cock and Urge, this little gay bar that could…can and will keep you happy with its cheap drinks and interesting themed nights (e.g Massages and cookies on certain week nights). This place is definitely a lot more swank than it’s neighbors (decor wise) and can be a great escape spot if you get tired of being groped (who does though?); although, at times the music can be a little uninspiring. Our advice: check them out during their happy hour.
