SUMMERSIDE, PE - The City of Summerside is pleased to announce that Pathfinder Foods, in partnership with Bogside Brewing, has been awarded the lease to operate the restaurant, bar, and banquet facilities at the Summerside Curling Club and Marina, formerly known as the Silver Fox Entertainment Complex.

 Following a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process, Pathfinder Foods and Bogside Brewing presented a dynamic vision for transforming the facility into a vibrant, family-friendly waterfront destination featuring Crafters Smokehouse, Famous Peppers Pizzeria, and Bogside Brewing under one roof.

Their vision aligns with Council’s goal to revitalize this important space and create a year-round hub for food, entertainment, and social connection in our downtown."

 Pathfinder Foods and Bogside Brewing plan to offer a high-quality menu that blends smokehouse BBQ, artisan pizzas, and fresh local seafood, paired with award-winning craft beverages. In addition to the food and beverage experience, the new venue will feature live music, seasonal events, and a welcoming atmosphere for residents, marina visitors, curling members, and tourists alike.

 Pathfinder Foods and Bogside Brewing are eager to bring new energy to the Summerside Curling Club and Marina. Their team brings years of success operating beloved Island restaurants and catering programs, with a focus on local ingredients, community connection, and memorable experiences.
