# Hockey-Themed Taverns The D Las Vegas' Newest Addition, BarCanada, is Culturally Influential By Kalin Ned | Published 2020-02-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barcanada References: [8newsnow](https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/new-bar-focusing-on-canadian-sports-culture-to-open-at-the-d-in-march/) & [reviewjournal](https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/food/hockey-inspired-barcanada-coming-to-the-d-in-downtown-las-vegas-1950691/) The D Las Vegas is introducing a new kind of tavern to its operations and the new establishment will carry a special cultural twist from the North—it is called BarCanada. As the name might suggest, this new bar is focused on hockey, a sport that has been loved and played by Canadians for decades. BarCanada spans 2,000 sq. ft. Its aesthetic "merges modern design and specialty cocktails with game-day viewing [experience]" and those who have worked on the interior of the tavern have remarked that it is an "[ode to Canadian sports and culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hockey-heroes)." In addition, the 85-inch TVs ensure a [premium sports-viewing experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidelined) that will put BarCanada on the radar of those who want to watch the game or be part of an exuberantly communal experience.
