About The Chelsea St Pete
|
The Chelsea St Pete offers a welcoming space to meet up with friends and pick up drinks, tea, coffee and locally baked goods in the Warehouse Arts District. Take some time to browse our fun retail items including cards, stickers, accessories, home decor, jewelry, and candles.
“The Chelsea” was inspired by The Hotel Chelsea, which was a famous meeting spot for creatives, oddballs, and intellectuals in Manhattan for much of the 20th century. We think ‘our’ Chelsea is the perfect spot to visit with friends, enjoy some food, and grab gifts or snacks to go. Be a part of one of our public events or let us help you host your own event in our beautiful patio garden space. Whatever you need, we’re here for you. And don’t worry, you don’t have to leave your best friend at home because we’re also dog (and bike) friendly! |
