14 Best Bars near Waterloo

“We were staying across the street. Went over to hang out and have a few drinks. Amy happened to be there and hooked us up. Cozy neighborhood bar. Watched some great dart players. Not a fancy place so don't go in looking for one and you'll be fine...“

“Amazing place!!! First time at a bar for my 21st birthday! Great people and environment. There’s a live band and an electric jukebox to keep the vibes going all night. No pool table but there is darts. Lots of great drinks all night, would definitely recommend!!“

“If there was a LOVE button, it wouldn't be enough! We had the BEST dining experience over the weekend, for our honeymoon. Our waitress was friendly, accommodating and a delightful part of our experience! We even had the pleasure of chatting with the chef/owner. We tried a little bit of everything and each bite was so satisfying! Grilled Whiskey Butter Oysters Duck Frites Duck Breast Beef Short Ribs Mushroom Risotto and one of every dessert lol 20/10 we WILL be back!!“

“Best pizza and wings in waterloo. great people!“

“Fantastic meal, excellent service. I had a steak my wife had the sea bass. If you are in the area and in the mood for a great experience, this is worthwhile! It was a bit expensive and a bit loud from the casino, but not really a problem.

Parking: Super large parking lot. We have a Class B RV and stayed over night. No problem.“

“Microclimate Wine Bar is a little haven of creativity and deliciousness, run by charming and skilled professionals and in the heart of the Finger Lakes. It reminds me a of a little Japanese izakaya in Portland, Maine but with very seasonal Finger Lakes ingredients and some southeast Asian influence. I love coming here for a few little plates of food and a drink, which can be anything from an excellent local wine, beer or cider to a homemade strawberry shrub and soda made with the brine from preserving magnolia buds! The wine list is small but mighty and the rotating cocktail specials always sound great and are often seasonal. One of the best plates is called Pickles + Ferments, which is an ever changing bowl of homemade fermented and pickled vegetables and fruits, all from local farms, with a soy marinated soft boiled egg. It is a complete meal with a bowl of perfect, steaming hot jasmine rice and happens to be great for lunch the next day. The quality and execution of the food and wine selection here is better than many similar establishments in cities like Rochester or even New York.
It is worth a scenic drive from Rochester and a privilege and joy to live near an establishment of this caliber. Thank you for being here, Microclimate.
