Barracuda Lounge - CLOSED

This historic gay bar closed in March 2025

A much loved gay bar in New York since 1995. Back then, Barracuda was known as a den of Bohemia - the kind of place where you'd see Eartha Kitt or Nathan Lane and where Broadway celebs would jump onstage and sing a cappella.

Today, Barracuda is still going strong, with very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, hosted by some New York's drag luminaries like Sherry Vine and actress Candis Cayne.

Note: The place is small, but that's part of its charm.
