I had gone into Oran to visit the Belly-Up Bar downtown, but found it closed. Â As I was heading out of town I spotted Kelsey's and thought it looked like the perfect blend of scary and friendly that a good dive bar should be. Â
I got a friendly welcome by one of the regulars outside as I walked towards the door. Â Inside it was pretty quiet -- it was the day after Thanksgiving -- there was a handful of regulars sitting at the bar with a large room of empty tables behind us. Â Far behind us an old rear-projection big screen TV was playing some war movie.
The bartender was pleasant, as were the other customers. Â
In addition to the TV there are video poker machines and at least 3 pool tables. Â There's also a stage area for bands to play.
