  Best Gay Bar

While running Chelsea's Barracuda, the team behind this new Hell's Kitchen gay bar discovered what in-the-know boys want. Awesome music videos on the televisions? Check. Soft lighting that seems made for flirting? Check. An awesome happy hour deal that will keep the pretty young things coming in the door seven nights a week? Absolutely. Industry knows that the best way to lure folks in the door is a two for one deal, and they have one available nightly from 4 to 9 p.m. (hint: come toward the end of that promotion or else you'll be stumbling out the door). They also have a stage that plays host to some awesome drag singers (aka drag lip-synchers), a pool table, and plenty of comfy couches for lounging around. The neighborhood has become a regular boy's town—start here and then head across the street to Therapy for a night cap.
