User Reviews for The Half King

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

08/07/2008 Posted by downeyJr

I love coming here with my friends. The menu is refreshing, and they have some really great specialty drinks. I really like the side room where I usually sit and its brick walls and awesome decor. The crowd is just right not pretentious and not snobby. Unusual for Chelsea. The prices are just where they need to be, not too expensive for fresh food. Ya and the burgers really are amazing. I recommend this place for happy hour and if you work or live in Chelsea their lunch is not bad either.

Pros: Service, Burgers, outdoors is nice too

Cons: Not enough of these place's in the city

3 Star Rating: Average

They make a nice burger and all the bar foods you want. A little pricey, but try at least once. Good beer selection too. The place is a little out of the way.

Pros: Good burger and Beer selection.

Cons: Out of the way.
