You didn't think we'd end our Chelsea section without a gay bar, did you? Barracuda is for cruising — and for straight wingladies, too. And like all good gay bars, this one's got a killer, pop-tastic playlist (Depeche Mode, Madonna, Britney, Britney, Britney) and a seemingly bottomless supply of vodka (and Red Bull, duh).

It takes some confidence to wear a floor-length, body-hugging tank dress and a sherbet lipstick shade created by Nicki Minaj. This is definitely the place to show it — the boys at the door won't really care what you look like; the boys inside will think you are F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S.
