Local sports bars happy to provide night out for fans
From NFL playoffs to the beginning of a new NHL season, professional sports are back and in full swing to kick off 2021.
And while capacity limits on bars and restaurants across the province remain restricted to just 50 per cent, a number of local establishments are happy to offer a place for sports fans in the Battlefords to take in the action in a social atmosphere.
Owner of the Boston Pizza in North Battleford, Laszlo Horvath, said while they would certainly love to be able to pack the bar area like in previous years, they have found there remains a real feeling of excitement around the establishment on game nights, even with current restrictions.
“I think the people who are coming for sports are still very excited about it, and we try to provide a good experience,” Horvath said. “We’ve always got the volume on and all the big screens are going, so we’ll get people coming in wearing their jerseys and it’s still exciting even in these times.”
