Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid’s wife, Lauren Kyle McDavid, hosted a successful soft launch for her new business venture, Bar Trove.

Lauren shared a post on Instagram, which shows the intimate gathering of friends and family to preview the chic new cocktail bar before its grand opening on June 6.

The elegant lounge is located in Edmonton's historic Canada Permanent Building. Lauren, who runs her own interior design firm and apparel company, was inspired by sophisticated European bars to create an upscale yet inviting atmosphere at Bar Trove.

Lauren posted a series of photos and videos capturing the energy and excitement of the event. The images showcase the impressive interior of Bar Trove, featuring a wall of meticulously curated spirits and a lively DJ entertaining the crowd.

In the caption, Lauren expressed her delight at the successful celebration.

"Successful friends and family celebration, Bar trove opens next week & we are going to the finals baby!!,” Lauren wrote.

The photos also feature Lauren herself, dressed in a pink dress, surrounded by friends and family, all of whom seem to be enjoying the lively atmosphere.

“Bar Trove felt like a natural extension of Trove Living – giving people a place to gather, experience beautiful design, and enjoy incredible food and drinks in a curated setting,” said Kyle and her business partner, Brittany Schulz, to Dished.

Meanwhile, Connor McDavid and the Oilers punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final after wrapping up the Western Conference Final in five games against the Dallas Stars. Next up, they take on the Florida Panthers, with Game 1 slated for Wednesday night in Edmonton.
