Its nice to see things coming to/coming back to downtown, not just hockey games and concerts, but more public events and activities.

The New Year's celebration in Ice District and Churchill Square was also nice. I think the almost completion completion of LRT construction will help, for several years part of the area was a no go zone due to the construction and a lot of festivals and events were moved.

^The more people that come back to the office the longer the hours.

Nobody commented on the goal light! 😂
 
Watched the Oilers/Leafs game at the Brewhouse last night. For a road game, it was nice to see it so busy inside the bar, however only the main floor was being used, and the upstairs was roped off. Post-game, probably 95% of guests cleared out, and they actually accidentally closed off the section I was sitting in. The waitress told us all game days are decently busy, but they are having an extremely hard time attracting crowds on non-game days. She said having no street presence was their theory why.

I also wonder if when you position so strongly as a hockey bar, it backfires on non game days? Vs a place like campio is always packed for oilers games, but wouldn’t be seen as a hockey bar necessarily.

We also just need way more people living within 10mins. Game nights attract a wider audience, but the Monday night crowd is likely more DT locals.
 
I also wonder about their decision to keep the Brewhouse on 104 Ave open. Whether we like it or not, that brewhouse having a parking lot may be far more attractive to some potential patrons
