Canada’s first Rec Room food-and-entertainment centre opens Monday in South Edmonton Common.

The two-level, 5,600-square-metre Cineplex Entertainment facility features several restaurants, including what’s billed as Canada’s largest wood-fired grill, 140 amusement games, a race car simulator, bowling, axe throwing, billiards, air hockey and table tennis.

There’s also a 225-seat auditorium, as well as a 15-metre high-definition screen and two 10-metre HD screens hanging over the central bar on the main level.

Toronto-based Cineplex plans to open two smaller Rec Rooms in Toronto and Calgary in the first half of 2017, the start of a chain of 10 to 15 outlets it wants to have ready within five or six years.
