Connor McDavid’s wife Lauren launched her luxury bar in Edmonton

Earlier this weekend, Connor McDavid’s wife, Lauren Kyle, launched her luxury bar, “Bar Trove,” with a grand opening party in downtown Edmonton. The event was held at the historic Canada Permanent Building, where Lauren’s other businesses are also based.

Several partners of Edmonton Oilers players attended the celebration, including Leon Draisaitl’s fiancée, Celeste Desjardins, ex-Oiler Sam Gagner’s wife, Rachel, and Connor Brown’s wife, Madison.

Bar Trove’s official Instagram shared photos from the evening, including a decorated red marble fireplace with candles, crystalware, red roses and a brass lamp. The cozy setup also featured scattered white petals, a teacup on a saucer and a large mirror reflecting wood-paneled walls and wall lamps.

Celeste Desjardins also posted pictures on her own Instagram stories later that day. One image showed the bar’s elegant interior, while in another, the group of ladies was seated on a cushioned bench in front of a red curtain, holding cocktails and dressed in formal evening wear.

“Our new favorite spot,” she captioned, tagging Bar Trove.

Other photos showed Lauren Kyle posing with Rachel Gagner and friend Liv Hall, a display of oysters and shrimp arranged beside glowing candles and a server presenting hors d’oeuvres topped with greens and caviar. Lauren also reshared a sweet photo of herself, Celeste and Rachel cozying up on a sofa before the party.
