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.

The Mattachine Society hosted a "sip-in" in 1966. Inspired by the civil rights movement, it was a protest against the State Liquor Authority's policy of removing licenses from bars that served LGBT people. It was one of the events that led to gay liberation.
You can attend a Mattachine Night every Thursday at Julius' and experience a taste of New York's gay history.

The Deep End is a bar and eatery serving hearty tacos and burgers. On some nights The Deep End becomes a gay bar with drag shows and occasional themed nights, such as otter parties for the hirsute gentlemen adventurer.
The food is very American, so think Aunt Missy's Famous Mashed Potatoes, cheesecake and curly fries. It's served with a hipster twist so expect honey and sriracha with your bacon.
There are drag brunches most weekends.
Closed for winter.
