"Hey everyone let's go to the entertainment district where we can go bar hopping, oops sorry I meant to say Bank hopping."

Or "Parkour" hopping/jumping on the 6 year-old Stantec scaffolding that just won't go away.

I think the thread title needs a correction. The CWB Building may sit on Connect Centre podium but will have its own entrance and identity.

Yay ice plant!

 

[Clearshades]

I'm banking on the fact that I will be bar hopping.

Why is it still there, we live across the street and frequent Rogers and the Marriot food and drink but have been confused by the scaffolding.

They have been doing corrective work to help mitigate multiple issues with windows shattering, popping and falling.

No one knows…..a monument leftover from PCL?

I stopped by the Icehouse again. This time the bar was fairly busy but not as insane during a home game, so I stayed for a mug of beer and a chat with an awesome female bartender (Carly). There's still some glitches to work through - for instance, the Oilers scored in the opening 2nd period but the PA was still tuned to a basketball game and there was a failure to sound the horn until a minute after the fact.

What the Icehouse has reminded me of is that we need two more small-midsized in the former Rexall/Stantec podium to compliment it and have a less sports bar and more Joey/Earls like option in the plaza as well for those out for a night, but don't need to be in a sports bar.

There's been rumors of Cactus setting up there or their other brand King's Taps?

 

[IanO]

King's Taps has been a rumour for sometime now; originally for the NW corner of Manulife with a two level spot including a rooftop patio.

That would be a great fit, but either would compliment things and create some regular activity.

 

[Gronk!]

There should be a Wayne Gretzkys restaurant in ICE District since there is one in Toronto.
I also think it's a shame that Seven80 carries Oilers-related gear but they have no location near Rogers Place.
