Chelsea Five Gastropub
Wander over to the Tropicana at 2831 Boardwalk and ride up to the fifth floor of Chelsea Tower and you'll find Chelsea Five Gastropub. Visitors can expect panoramic ocean views and an adjacent outdoor terrace lounge where guests can choose from an extensive beer list, cocktails and small bites menu.
According to its website, the drink menu features over 50 whiskeys and bourbons and old-fashioned drinks prepared with robustly flavored spirits such as the original variation of the Whiskey Sour made using Rittenhouse rye whiskey, house-made simple syrup, fresh squeezed lime juice and an egg white.

Here's a sampling of the menu: starters include chicken wings or tenders in hot, mild, barbecue and "wow" flavors; mussels in red or white sauce served with toast; and coconut shrimp served with citrus butter sauce. For your main dish, try the chicken parm served with linguine; chicharrones de pollo con tostones y ensalada (crispy fried chicken bites with plantain and salad); and the Italian burger with marinara, pepperoni and provolone.
