EDMONTON With the latest COVID-19 lockdown, the province has temporarily banned the dine-in experience at bars and restaurants. That means some Edmonton establishments will have to wait a little longer to put their newly winterized patios to good use. Downtown Edmonton s Rocky Mountain Icehouse just spent roughly $20,000 installing a gas heater, pergola and plexiglass on its patio, hoping to attract more outdoor patrons during the winter months. It s been a very tough year, the restaurant s co-owner, Wayne Jones told CTV News Edmonton. Probably everyone in the service industry, they d concur with that. Jones says he s doing his best to stay positive about the situation, looking at the new expenditure as a long-term investment.
