I’m loving Sutter hockey again. The team is tough, fast, and has its identity back. On a night when the whole team played great, Gaudreau and Tkachuk stood out. Lock these guys up!
The only complaint…it was a huge struggle to find a place to eat before the game. Vagabond, our usual spot, was unexpectedly closed. We tried several other spots before finding somewhere on 17th Ave that would allow minors. Not going to name names, but I was very disappointed with Calgary’s hospitality industry - it was almost like no one wanted our business.

Welcome to coming to a city during Covid. The restaurant/bar industry has been decimated, and many of those who remain are struggling to remain afloat as restrictions have been going for a year and a half. Things very clearly aren't the same.
As far as not allowing minors, I'm not sure how that is a failure of any one establishment. If they're an establishment that has decided to serve liquor and serve an adult clientele, is it a knock against them to not serve minors?
