The Scene
With floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek black leather sofas lining the walls and ottomans that can be configured to accommodate a cozy couple or a large group of friends, Barrage is a nice addition to the swanky gay bar scene currently thriving in Hell's Kitchen. A mixed crowd of neighborhood residents, actors and dancers from the nearby theaters, and posses of Chelsea boys who rarely venture "uptown" mix and mingle nightly.
The Draw
Despite the chic design and the often-glamorous crowds, Barrage remains surprisingly attitude-free. As a bonus, cups with notecards and pencils are scattered around the bar--never again will you have to frantically search for a pen in order to get Mr. Right's digits. Friendly bartenders fix perfectly mixed cosmopolitans and other sumptuous concoctions from the well-stocked bar.

What's up with the "BAD...SICKENING...HEADACHE CAUSING SMELL ???" "PLEASE"...they should make the place private , or leave the Buddha Oils HOME !!!!!!!! "SERIOUSLY" ...IT DOES SEEM TO EXIT WITH THE TURNING ON OF THE AIR CONDITIONER ...BUT...TOO LATE ! Customers are already heading for the door.

Ive been going to this place for the past year pretty frequently for happy hours after work. Not only are the drinks strong & cheap ($4 @ happy hour, $7 when not, about) but the staff is super friendly & helpful. After only a few times there, the bartender remembered me & my friend's drinks exactly, and every other friend's drink that we've brought there! Only downside, on weekends & after 8p the place can get pretty crowded

Barrage left me in a "rage" alright. I used to love this place, which once had friendly bartenders, great drinks and music. But on a recent Saturday, our cocktails didn't have any alcohol. (Seriously, did they refill their bottles of Ketel One with water?) And, to make matters worse, the music consisted of all the great hits--from last year! Your better option is The Ritz on 46th Street. The music brings everyone to their feet and the drinks are alcohol-icious. P.S. I wouldn't have given this has-been joint a single star if I wasn't forced to by this review program.
