The Chelsea

There’s a bit of history and an exceptional dining experience waiting at The Chelsea – a popular spot in the heart of downtown New Bern for lunch and dinner, as well as banquets and catering. Situated along Middle Street and walking-distance close to a number of area hotels and accommodations, The Chelsea is a star on the local dining scene, thanks to its tempting menu and unique and historic locale.

The Chelsea is located in a two-story 1912 building that was once used by the inventor of Pepsi-Cola, Caleb Bradham. Today, the building has been renovated, but little touches of the original atmosphere – such as the authentic transom windows – still remain to create a historic setting. As for fare, patrons will be treated to an extensive lunch or dinner menu that is brimming with modern twists on local standards and favorites. With fresh seafood, soups and salads, sandwiches, and a special kids’ and dessert menu, family members of all tastes will find something to crave with every visit. The Chelsea also features an extensive cocktail, beer, and wine menu that includes beverages from all across the state and from around the globe, and the friendly service and delicious fare ensures that everyone can relax and enjoy a meal that’s wonderfully memorable.
