Sticky Wicket closed for a month as one of our biggest pubs gets makeover,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
One of the Greater Victoria's largest watering holes will be out of the rotation for about a month as the Sticky Wicket undergoes a major renovation.
"After 22 and a half years, it was time to do a reno," said owner Grant Olson.
Olson said the reno of the largest pub in the Strathcona Hotel will include replacing its main bar with an improved shape and seating as well as changes to the floor plan and raising an area of the bar.
"Basically, we will also be jazzing it up to keep the thing fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Olson said, adding that will mean new carpeting throughout the space.
Work got underway on the site following last week's Super Bowl, a major draw for the room,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Olson expects it should be complete early in March.
"The only time to do these things is January and February,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Olson said of the slowest months in the "drinking" year.
"And we had a fair amount of action in January with the [Pacific Cup Oldtimers hockey tournament], the Truck Loggers Association [annual convention] and Super Bowl."
The Sticky Wicket, which boasts about 250 seats, is a collection of several rooms offering a slightly different feel in each space.
It opened in 1990 as a massive addition to the hotel. In 1994,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it had its comingout party as it was ground zero for fun during the Commonwealth Games.
The Strathcona's four bars The Sticky Wicket, Big Bad John's,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Clubhouse and Club 9One9 have a capacity for more than 1,600 people, making it the largest entertainment centre on Vancouver Island.
