Yes, with construction and barriers still on two sides it is really not 100% up and running yet. I think when it is accessible from all sides, it will become more connected and improve a lot.

^Unfortunately I don't think the Stantec hoarding is going away anytime before they can put vinyl on the glazing.

How dare you come up with a building name in the Ice District that has nothing to do with the Oilers Cup dynasty era!

The Canadian Icehouse is expected to open this spring
The Canadian Icehouse | The Canadian Brewhouse
The Canadian Icehouse The Canadian Icehouse opens up in the spring of 2022 in Edmonton's Ice District! Our location in the Ice District will be unlike any other Brewhouse! Specialized food, drinks…
thecanadianbrewhouse.com
And some exciting details from this article, which partly address the comments about having a rec room in the area:
"The two-level eatery Banquet will have regulation-sized bowling lanes, shuffleboard, ping pong tables and more." I bet it'll be outfitted similar to their Fort Mac location.

I truly with these places all the best and hope enough folks make their way down there often enough. Game nights will be fun, but the challenge is a Tuesday night.

Of course, at some point concerts may resume, so the area may be busy not just on the nights or days that have hockey games.

I'm happy that the Icehouse and Banquet will have an entertainment angle. This takes it closer what I originally had hoped for in the district.

That's correct. It went to SDAB for a variance I believe.
