Profile

The Chelsea Brewing Company manifests multiple personalities. The indoor bar affects a chummy sportsmanship via amateur golfers from the adjacent driving range and corporate softball teams. Outdoors, a rowdier crowd of professionals on the cusp of 30 cruise with a nouveaux-riche demeanor substantiated by the spillover from the nearby marina. Upstairs, the mezzanine-level lounge, with its fireplace and its two-story glass windows overlooking the river, may even trigger a sense of noblesse oblige. Whatever your delusion, master brewer Chris Sheehan has your poison—almost 30 brews, some dispensed from the copper-ringed barrels over the bar. (The Solstice Wheat won gold in the Great American Beer Festival.) Late in the evening, the captivating view of New Jersey, coupled with a menu of salads, pizzas and, deserts, may even have you waxing romantic. A fourth personality? — Veronica Dagher
