Talk about a transformation.
Originally opened in 1974 by twin brothers Andy and Randy Clendenen, Chelsea Corner is once again in its original location on the iconic corner of McKinney Avenue & Monticello. This historic building was first constructed in 1926 and has been completely restructured and restored, from new roof, walls, flooring, to windows. Amazing attention to detail.
When the Corner Bar closed in late 2015, Len Critcher, the man behind Inwood Tavern, took over the place and invited a few notable restaurateurs to partner with him to revive Chelsea Corner. Tracy Rathbun, co-cowner of Shinsei is a longtime personal friend and restaurant neighbor on Inwood Road. Tracy was a regular at Chelsea Corner and Critcher was a bartender there. A local famous chef who has lost the rights to use his name is writing the menu and training the chefs in the kitchen. #Chefwithnoname is also married to Tracy.
With a focus on its rich heritage and the intent to establish an iconic and long-lasting Dallas landmark – Chelsea Corner will be something truly special within Dallas’s flourishing Knox Neighborhood.
They invite friends new and old to join them while savoring incredible fare inspired by one of Dallas’ most beloved Chefs (#chefwithnoname), watching sports on the 15 screens, or sipping one of the specialty cocktails on one of the 2 climate controlled garden patios. Delicious food. I highly recommend the gulf crab deviled eggs. The margarita pizza is simple, but divine. The Best Darn Steak Sandwhich.
