5 Best Cocktail Bars in Chelsea

As someone who lives on the Upper West Side, I'm always marginally annoyed when I hear of "this great new bar" and it's either on the Lower East Side or in Brooklyn.

I'll usually go anyway, but it's kind of a hike to get home.

So when I come across lists of great bars on the West Side, I get really excited--both to try a new bar and to not have an hour trip home.
