We were reminiscing tonight about our visit to The Half King when we holidayed in NYC in 2014. We came off the High Line freezing one late afternoon in March and had the tomato soup and brussel sprouts with bacon. It converted my husband to eating them after hating them for a long time. Yummy food! One of those lucky finds with friendly staff and lovely ambience.
The best bar / restaurant in Chelsea, or Manhattan for that matter. You cannot go wrong from the huge beer selection, fantastic cocktails and amazingly reliable burger.
Went for Sunday brunch. A great atmosphere with a lovely patio. The inside is large and can accommodate groups. A little pricy if you don't want to drink, but reasonable if you get the specials that come with a Mimosa or Cesar. The food is very good though there are very few Gluten-free choices.
Another great bar in Chelsea that is literally steps from the high line. The daytime bartenders are amazing! Crowd is mainly artists (many galleries nearby) and tourists. Good selection of on tap bar and the food is on point.
UPDATE! THE BAR HAS CLOSED. WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED
So - first we had nachos which were pretty much what I'd expect to get at the ballpark while attending a game. However, the salads (main meal) came out next, and they were outstanding. I had the chopped Kale salad, and I would actually go out of my way to have it again. It was THAT good. Plus, this is a great location to sit outside and watch the people go by.
Came here on a Tuesday night around 9pm with a group of 6 and was able to find a table. It was quite lively for a weeknight, and some brave souls were even out on the patio despite the rather chilly conditions (but I'm speaking as a visiting Californian so take that how you will). We just ordered a round of beers and some snacks to accompany them--they were having a special of mushroom quesadillas and they turned out to be surprisingly good! I'm always amazed when I run across decent Mexican-style fare in NY. Our server was on the ball and we all had a very nice time.
I was a bit conflicted on this one. On one hand, the drinks were pretty good and pretty decently priced. When we ordered some jalapeno poppers, we waited well over an hour until we got them, but in the meantime we got a bunch of free drinks. So, depends on what you're looking for! I can't complain, personally.
I stuck my head in here after walking along the Highline for an hour. Glad i did. Amazing craft ale selection and from what I was told they do a breakfast burrito that is HUGE! The guy behind the bar was polite and nice to chat to.

Just OK. Burger wasn't the best but it wasn't bad. The bun was kinda soft and crumbly, which I'm not a huge fan on. Beer was good but a little flat. Not a long wait, service was passable but not special. Just OK.
Regular average bar. It's nice but there's nothing that really sets it apart from the other generic dive bars except that it's cleaner. Staff are nice. Drinks are more expensive than the usual bar. Food is really delicious but pretty expensive.
I always liked this place. Once in a while you will get a special you like as well. Drinks are good. Also it is a very convenient location off of the high line. Great place to meet friends and hang out.
We sat in the small garden in the back with a view of the High Line above. The staff let us sit around sipping our beers without being hassled. Eventually we got hungry enough to order the HUGE chicken and waffles dish, which I would highly recommend.
