CANADA. HMSHost has opened a sports bar at Edmonton International Airport inspired by the local Canadian Football League team.
Edmonton Eskimos Sports Bar is a full-service dining venue and is located in the airport’s Domestic-International Departures Lounge. The restaurant and bar features game day-inspired cuisine in a venue celebrating the team’s history.
The outlet is adorned in the fourteen-time Grey Cup champions’ green and gold colours, and features memorabilia and murals that showcase the team’s seasons in the Canadian Football League.
Large televisions have been positioned throughout the restaurant allowing fans to take in the sports action. The drinks menu features a selection of beers, wine, and themed cocktails.
“With great food and drinks along with a fun sports atmosphere, Edmonton Eskimos Sports Bar is the perfect stop for travelling fans that will have them cheering all the way to their gate,” said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Kent Vanden Oever.
Eskimos President and CEO Len Rhodes commented: “This new Edmonton Eskimos Sports Bar is a means for us to extend our green and gold brand to our loyal fans when they are travelling. Such an endeavour is contingent upon having strong partners such as HMSHost and Edmonton International Airport. We could not be more excited.”
