Impressions
Chelsea Brewing is a technically a little bit outside of midtown's reach, but is likely to draw the after-work crowd all the same. More importantly, the surrounding area is otherwise devoid of great beer, so that makes this little gem all the more important. Located on Pier 59, Chelsea Brewing boasts an awesome dockside view of the Hudson and features six of their own beers. Most of the six are regulars (most notably the Checker Cab Blonde and the Sunset Red), and the others rotate. Ample bar grub and friendly bartenders make this place a no brainer if wandering West of midtown with parched palette.
Vibe: 5 / 10
Service: 7 / 10
Beer: 5 / 10 (Brewpub, serves only their own beer)
Other Thoughts: Craft Beer lovers are likely pacified by the rotating or seasonal brews. Chelsea beers are not found outside of the city, though you will occasionally see them at even some of the more elite beer bars around town. Hungry? Try the nachos, but bring a friend to tackle the generous portions.
