No Attitude found here!!
Chelsea is a very laid back bar. You can go there not worry about getting attitude from anyone. From employees to patrons its as friendly as can be.. Always had a great time at the Chelsea!!
The Best Place in Town!
If you're looking for a place with great people, great service, good prices, hot dancers and great events (including drag shows hosted by Amy DeMilo on Saturday nights), The Chelsea is it! It's never pretentious and I always feel welcome! And if you remember the large group of homeless people that used to camp out next door to the club...the new owner of the bar has worked with city officials to clean up the location - it's much safer now! I would recommend The Chelsea to anyone looking for a great place to chill with friendly people.
Chelsea is unique
My uncle took me there to meet his friends....nice guys - had a great time. He's a little older than me, so it was nice that there were young guys there too. Then later on (after I took my uncle home, I went back) - and it was lit! The place was jumping and i seen a drag show better than Miami. Very cute guys and not a bad neighborhood...not sure what that other guy meant ?! It's not the burbs, but I guess some are used to that. I have a little crush on one of the bartenders...too bad i live in Philly. Wink @ Chris Topher
Early Chill - Later off the hook!
Love to chill here early and sometimes stay later for the shows and wildness. Bartenders are very cool, down to earth. Come in and say "hi" b/c it's a very friendly place. Also like to take my straight friends as it is often mixed and always gay friendly.
This place rocks!!!!
I'm not much into drags show but The Chelsea really tops everything I have seen before! the last time I was there, Lady Janet in particular does a ballet routine that mesmerized the audience. It's also the only bar that I'm aware of that sells at a reasonable price Crystal Head Vodka! The Roll-Royce of Vodkas in my book!!! What I also like about this place is anyone, gay or not, can feel comfortable and enjoy good, clean fun. It is truly what they claim to be: "The first Be-Who-You-Are Club in Tampa!"
