Featured Review

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…

THE REAL REVIEW... I HOPE THE OWNER AND PEDROS B.F READS THI
by 6pakand10inches
BARRAGE CAN SOMETIMES BE A FUN PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU HAVE NO PLANS ON MEETING ANYONE WITH ANY SUBSTANCE TO THEM... I WISH NYC HAD SOME PLACE FOR GAY MEN TO MEET OTHER GAY MEN WHERE ITS JUST NOT ALL ABOUT HOOKING UP.. DOESNT ANYONE WANT TO FIND A LASTING RELATIONSHIP ANYMORE? I HAVE SEEN PEDRO THE BARTENDER STEAL MONEY SO MANY TIMES IN THERE BY NOT RINGING UP DRINKS AND STEAING DRINKS TOO.. PLACE WOULD BE ALOT BETTER WITHOUT HIM.. HE STEALS AND ALL YOU HEAR ABOUT IS HIM.. ARENT BARTENDERS SUPPOSE TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOURSELF.. NOPE NOT HIM.. HUGE EGO.. SOME OF THE OTHER BARTENDERS ARE OK.. PEDRO IVE SEEN LATE NIGHT AT OTHER PLACES.. SAD THING IS,, HIS BOYFRIEND IS A NICE PROFESSIONAL GUY AND HAS NO CLUE PEDRO IS MAKING A FOOL OF HIM.. HE IS A BIG SLUT..ITS TOO BAD..
- Pros: PRICES LOCATION CROWD MIUSIC
- Cons: BARTENDER NOT HONEST.. SMELLS BAD.. CLEANINESS
Best place bar to get a haeadache
by jojo69
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.
- Pros: It's a bar
- Cons: It's a bar with sickening odors
Great place for Happy Hour
by LauraR916
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
- Pros: strong drinks, chic atmosphere
- Cons: can get crowded, sometimes the music is really loud
BarRAGE for sure
by MexandtheCity
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.
- Pros: It's near a lot of other, better options.
- Cons: Weak drinks and lame atmosphere.
OMG
