Behind the Bar & Recipe: “Terrible Sue” with Chelsea Anderson
As soon as you see her warm smile from across the bar at Uptown Sports Club in East Austin, you know you’re in for a good time with Chelsea Anderson.
Chelsea has spent the past two years working in the hospitality scene in Austin, showcasing her talents behind the bar at Uptown Sports Club and beyond. Though she’s relatively new to the city, she was “born and raised in hospitality,” with roots that trace back to her family’s restaurants and bars in the Washington D.C. area.
Her experience has taken her to a variety of locales, including D.C., Virginia, Michigan, Delaware, and Puerto Rico, in establishments ranging from neighborhood dives to fine dining. When you pull up a seat at Chelsea’s bar—wherever that may be—you’re guaranteed to meet a friend, enjoy a memorable experience, and, of course, sip on a delicious cocktail.
