\u00a0\u00a0TEMECULA<\/strong>, Calif. — (Oct. 29, 2015) \u2013 Pechanga Resort & Casino announces the reopening of Kelsey\u2019s, one of the resort\u2019s acclaimed 11 restaurants. After a $2.5 million and nearly four-month renovation, Kelsey\u2019s has transitioned from a sports bar with team memorabilia lining the walls into an upscale American pub with an emphasis on hand-cut, barbecued meats and craft beer. Guests will immediately notice the industrial brick, concrete, exposed and reclaimed wood, juxtaposed with delicate glass and velvet textures as a major departure from the cherry-stained wood furnishings and closed-in booths that defined the restaurant\u2019s prior look.<\/p>\n

Kelsey\u2019s center stone bar with a glimmering suspended bottle display is the focal point of the space with comfortable booth and table seating lining the perimeter.<\/p>\n

A semi-private dining room clad in wood and decorative chandeliers with a window looking out to the casino separated by glass and sheer drapery offers a warm and inviting ambiance.<\/p>\n

A newer concept for casino restaurant table seating, Kelsey\u2019s offers an indoor patio adjacent to the casino floor allowing guests to be next to the energy and excitement of slot machines and table games. Kelsey\u2019s is open every day from 11:00a.m. to 11:00p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11:00a.m. to 12:00a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
\nFor more information, call (877) 711-2946 or visit www.Pechanga.com\/Kelseys.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cKelsey\u2019s has become such a popular place for our guests to watch sports on TV and enjoy really good, hearty lunches and dinners, that we decided the space needed a more contemporary and inviting appeal,\u201d said Pam Toscano, Vice President of Food and Beverage. \u201cThe completely reworked and expertly crafted menu, along with Kelsey\u2019s new look, offers an exciting restaurant for this area of the resort.\u201d She points out that 18 new jobs were filled to staff the bigger, 303-seat dining outlet.<\/p>\n

In developing the new menu, Kelsey\u2019s culinary team initially conducted several guest polls. People were asked what kind of food and new concepts they would like to see in a new restaurant. The barbecue and craft beer theme surfaced repeatedly in the results.<\/p>\n

\"Pechanga-Kelseys-19\"\u201cFrom there, we went to work developing recipes and methods for smoking and barbecuing meats, crafting sauces, and adding a few other items like gourmet burgers and pizzas we know guests in this restaurant appreciate,\u201d said Kelsey\u2019s Head Chef, Ronnel Capacia.<\/p>\n

\"Pechanga-Kelseys-72\"With 10 \u201cFrom the Smoker\u201d items and 14 southern specialty sides gracing the menu, Capacia and his team are confident diners will enjoy the new dishes. Other selections include several hearty salads and wraps, steak and seafood, and the beloved wood-fired, handmade pizzas held over from Kelsey\u2019s pre-facelift menu.<\/p>\n

\"Pechanga-Kelseys-33\"Another emphasis stemming from Kelsey\u2019s reinvention resides in the 48 beers on tap. All except three are craft or microbrews, and 23 of the 48 are Southern California brewery selections. \u201cThe popularity of Pechanga\u2019s annual microbrew festival and the fact that more craft breweries spring up every year in our region says something about guests appreciating the nuances and flavor profiles of beer varietals,\u201d said Capacia. \u201cBeer pairs perfectly with barbecue, burgers and pizza.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interior designers Shema Dougall of Pasadena, Calif. say their inspiration for creating the new look of Kelsey\u2019s came from a millery in an adaptive reuse district in Toronto, Canada. The millery had been upgraded to code and repurposed into a popular restaurant. The designers set out to make Kelsey\u2019s into a beacon for the area of the casino that includes the motorcoach entrance and the Pechanga Theater. Kelsey\u2019s still offers dozens of flat screen TVs which makes it an inviting space to watch sporting events.<\/p>\n

Why is it called Kelsey\u2019s?<\/strong>
\nKelsey\u2019s restaurant is named after C.E. Kelsey, a United States Bureau of Indian Affairs agent assigned to work with and address concerns of California tribes in the early 1900s. In 1906, C.E. Kelsey sent a report advising the Commissioner of Indian Affairs (the title at the time) to allot additional land to the Pechanga Tribe as its existing 3,600 acre reservation contained less than 300 farmable acres and no sustainable well water source. In 1907, the U.S. government purchased an additional 235 acres to be added to the Pechanga Tribe\u2019s land. This would be known as the Kelsey tract which nearly 100 years later, Pechanga Resort & Casino would be built.<\/p>\n
