Avenue is the best restaurant in the city. Happy we are getting a follow up.

Yeah, I've always been aware of my surroundings when I've had to walk home after working late, and things did get a little sketchier when downtown had about 10% of it's normal workforce... But prior to that, I've always enjoyed my time in the downtown area.

Brewed is downsizing. Harbour Landing and Dewdney are up for sale.

felt like they were growing pretty quickly. I'm sure WFH kicked their business model in the teeth (I get decidedly less brewed coffee than I did when I was at an office building. I buy beans from Green Spot & brew at home... and cinnamon buns, and cheese buns, because Sunshine).

They've never been too shy about pulling the plug, which is smart. Weren't they planning a drive-thru only location for Park or Winnipeg area?

They were yes, but nothing has materialized yet. Probably due to cost when they realized the whole bloody site needed paving too.

REAL announced they have signed a deal with Adam Sperling/YQR Distillery to open a "brewery and distilling facility" using 40,000 sq ft of the Agribition Building (I believe that is the entire space). Besides a brewery and distillery, it will have a "restaurant, tasting room, distillery bar, interior and exterior patios, event and banquet space, a liquor store, a barrel-aging facility, a section for warehousing and distribution and a kitchen for teaching".

Yay! Let's get drunk and then go puke on the midway rides during the QCX!

It 100% does not fit into the mandate of REAL and is flagrantly illegal to approve.

Illegal? How?

Maybe I'm naive, but I think it could be a good thing for the area. Good spot to go before Rider games, Pats games, concerts, ... Any events (QC Ex, Agribition, ...) that are going on will get good foot traffic.

REAL has a legal mandate to only focus on items pertaining to sports and trade shows. They have to prove any development is not something that could come forward in another area.

Considering Masters was on the REAL board 10 months ago, this is Trump style cronyism and has no place in a developed country.

We have the most corrupt city council in English Canada.

So if there is a legal issue, this project won’t go forward?

The attraction type Brewery and facility looks similar of infill to what Lansdowne Park in Ottawa has and what REAL wants to create.

jigglysquishy · #**1033** Posted **Jun 23, 2021, 8:24 PM**

City Council is going to approve it though. So the province would have to force the rules, but I doubt the Sask Party will take any action against corruption.

It's a bit like living in Central Asia. The government breaks the law, but there are no repercussions.

Now that the lease has been signed, next steps include receiving final approval from city council and working through development bylaws. Construction on the 40,000-square-foot space is expected to begin construction this fall with completion in the spring of 2022.

Guess we will find out what pushback if any city council will have.

Sandra Masters stands to get a lot of money in her pocket over this so I doubt there's pushback.

Last time I checked sports and beer go hand in hand great location the beer after those games is going To be phenomenal and I’m sure each and one of you will be going there for a drink after game guaranteed

You could take a look at the zoning bylaw and see that they're about to approve a prohibited use, which is a violation of the Planning and Development Act.

Are you going to visit the mayor in jail?

Who am I kidding. Funneling public money into the hands of city council has never been punished here.
