WEGZ Stadium Bar ~ Outdoor Murals
For the hardcore sports-fan there is nothing like watching a game while in attendance.
The next best thing is watching the big game at bar with close friends.
Welcome to the WEGZ the perfect combination. It is a “stadium” bar that is easily one of my favourite places to watch a live sporting event. WEGZ was amongst the top 10 finalists of ESPN’s 2011 Best Sports Bar in North America.
I found a great description from ribbit (August 2011)
About the bar (from official website): WEGZ Stadium Bar is elevating the traditional sports bar to a whole new level… With the combination of over 90 televisions, ten 10′x10′ HD projection screens, one massive 12′x22′ HD theatre-style screen and a state-of-the-art audio system, WEGZ is the next best place to be than (actually) being at the game.
ribbet’s nomination: This place is MASSIVE. i’ve been to soo many bars and drank so much beer i should be a major stock holder in Budwieser. Like i said this place is HUGE. It has large screens everywhere, it has HD projecters 10 of them. It also has a movie screen in the place which is unreal. We went there to watch the gold medal hockey game Canada Vs. US and it was packed must have had 800 people all cheering and drinking and having a great time while watching team Canada. It was almost like being at the game with the noise and great vibe running through the building.
If there was to be a WORLDS BEST SPORTS BAR This place would be in the top 3 I’m sure.
My history with WEGZ goes back more than a decade. I painted various murals on the outside and inside of the building when they first opened their doors.
During the years that passed I spent many, many, many days and nights there… building up creative juices and coming up with ideas for new projects.
WEGZ is situated in a high traffic area which generates a lot of recognition of the murals and has become part of the identity of the WEGZ brand. This summer I was tasked with creating new artwork to refresh the exterior of the WEGZ building.
Chris Mills (General Manager, WEGZ Stadium Bar)
David was able to capture in bright vivid colour and detail the essence of what WEGZ Stadium Bar is, sports and sporting heros. We are very proud to display David Arrigo’s work as a significant part of WEGZ Stadium Bar’s identity for many different reasons but to put it plainly, for the sheer genius in his work.
There are 6 murals in total which are formed from a collage of images based on a sport: Football, Boxing and UFC, Baseball and Basketball, Horse Racing, Cycling and Race Car Driving, and Hockey.
