A microbrewery and restaurant is proposed for Chelsea.

Future Self Brewing, co-owned by David Smith and Mike Flanagan, plans to open at 111 W. 24th St., according to an application filed with Manhattan Community Board 4.

The duo brings industry experience to the venture, with Smith owning nearby Haymaker Bar and Kitchen on W. 29th St. and Flanagan working as a professional brewer.

The microbrewery would occupy the basement level, where guests could tour the facility and sample a variety of beers. The ground-floor restaurant plans to accommodate up to 165 guests.

The menu will feature shareables, snacks and salads, along with handhelds such as a cheeseburger and fried chicken sandwich. Entree options will include grilled pork chops and a coconut curry noodle bowl, alongside a weekly rotating chef’s special prepared by Chef Dion Sujamiko.

The team is currently working through the permitting and licensing process.

Once open, Future Self Brewing plans to operate Monday and Tuesday from 2 p.m. to midnight, Wednesday and Thursday from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m., Friday and Saturday from noon to 2 a.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to midnight. The brewery plans to close daily at 9 p.m.
