WHAT'S NEW?

Chelsea Pub

As of January 2012, the Chelsea Pub will welcome more clients all-year around with a new addition to its existing building. With huge sliding doors, this outdoor section features a four-season bar which will be heated during winter and wide open during the summer. The historical building will become the main dining area, optimizing the available space and keeping the Pub’s two unique and most attractive features untouched: the old building atmosphere and the stunning terrace. www.chelseapub.ca.
