About

This two-level pool hall is a trendy, modern alternative to the smoke-filled rat-traps of yesteryear. The lively contemporary bar area, with its luminous countertop and sunken lounge, is as smart as you'll find in Chelsea (at least at establishments where the barmen keep their shirts on). Try one of the fancy house cocktails, like the 8-Ball (rum, Kahlua, Guinness and espresso), an unlikely concoction that's surprisingly good.
