Still the best.
Honestly, who doesn't love Elmo? Somehow this place is still able to throw a great party with great food night after night. We've been going there for years. Its gotta be the biggest bang for the buck in town. Gorgeous--yes, and amazingly friendly staff--beautiful room with changing art room, big 'ol drinks and live DJs. The best table hopping around. Brunch is a total scene.
Simply the Best
As bars in NY become more and more generic, Barracuda still retains its character as the friendliest, cruiseiest, hippest bar in town. The drag shows are genius and the staff is hot and actually friendly. And you can ALWAYS meet someone. The place is iconic.
