23 Best Bars near St. Jacobs

“We had visitors from Scotland at St Jacob's, yesterday, one of the ladies dropped her wallet while crossing the street close, to The Tasting House. A few minutes later, Terry the owner, spotted the wallet, closed his shop and caught up with us, in another store, to return the wallet. He had heard our accent, saw a UK driver's license in the wallet and guessed correctly who's it was. it's good to know there are still honest people around, so thank you Terry as the holiday would have been spoilt with loss of wallet, charge cards, license etc. Oh! we then visited the shop and sampled some of the unique and excellent products.“

“*Caution** Went to this venue for the first time on Friday. There were 2 men luring women who were there alone offering to get them 'closer to the stage'. They happened to approach my friend, and we watched it happen. When I went to my friend and asked how she met them, and she asked if she was okay, she disclosed that they were touching her inappropriately and was blocking her from talking to me. Security was told, bald man about 5'5" and a women security officer approached me. I told them what happened and instead of following up they asked me to leave with no reason provided. Either the security was incompetent or knew the perpetrators. Will never return. Please watch out for each other because those who are there to 'keep you safe' are clearly not. The owner and police are being contacted to provide this information. Disappointing do better protecting your patrons.“

“Love the food, love the service, and love their entertainment nights. Great staff and they go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. Highly recommend.“

“I love this place, it is wonderful. Has a lot of games“

“High score on Donkey Kong“

“Music is wonderful and down low enough that you can hear it but it doesn't take over the room. Pleasant and welcomed surprise. The server brings their book of beers and you get a complete description of each. It takes a while to decide! Food is excellent. Fries done in beef tallow. If you have never tasted the difference you don't know what you are missing.“

“The waitress was friendly, prompt and helpful There were four of us there for lunch; all of us enjoyed our food; especially the Parmesan french fries and the California spring salad. Silly but we were glad you have more than two stalls in the bathroom. Good location with plenty of parking.“

“These folks are doing a wonderful job with lots of delicious savory bar food (awesome chip truck fries!) and quality micro brewery beers and ciders on tap!“

“Great food, and service! Everything was hot and very tasty!! The price is right for the quality of food!“

“New favorite place! Amazing food.“

“awesome vibes, great prices and good food (the fries are really good!)“

“Solid place to grab food if you are or aren't a student. Huge pizzas that can feed 3 people easily and portions for non-alcoholic drinks are great. Wish the bathroom doors remained closed but otherwise can't complain about the atmosphere. Pesto chicken sandwich was a little small but still good. Overall excited to come by again.“

“The jazz room is a big venue. Lots of different options like billiards, multiple pubs.

Live music pretty much every day.

They have a good music system and cameras so you can enjoy the show from any place. The venue is also intimate. You are not more than 3 tables away from any place.

The amount of talent available is vast. The food is not overly expensive as expected.“

“Great place and highly recommended! I will definitely come back and the staff was amazing.“

“Everything! Great food all around but ultimately, it is the people who work there, they are like famlly💕“

“What a Walper Experience at The Walper Hotel! Superb, world-class hotel located in the heart of Kitchener. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“For a not busy Tuesday night, service was slow, but friendly. Fries were cold so both gents returned their dinnerrs with MUCH hotter and fresher fries returned. By the time they were back I was already done my dinner so disjointed service. The 1st fries looked like they'd been sitting for a half hour and we're not accaptable. They also both thought their schnitzel was overcooked and without a lot of flavor. One friend had a chicken quesadilla and liked it. I had the spicy chicken and sweet potato fries. Both were just lukewarm. Compared to Swiss Chalet, Swiss Chalet wins hands down for the spicy burger and fries in taste and quality, and for less money.“

“Great golf simulator and excellent service?“

“Very polite baristas, quick service, yummy pastries, the best coffee in town or if your looking for a extra boost they sell red bulls! Great price and relaxing place to do work :)“

“We were at Pin-Up just yesterday for a get-together, and it goes without saying that we all had a fantastic time. For some (including myself), this was a first visit. The staff was amazing, and the selection of available games was overwhelming (especially the number of pinball tables). There were a small percentage of machines that were out of commission, but most were indeed operational. I ordered their chicken tenders and fries. My nephew had the honey garlic chicken wings. Both meals were delicious and well portioned for the price! The cost is only $8 for entry which gives you unlimited play on all of their games. They even gave us free refills on the soda! We were there for well over 6 hours and it felt as though no time had passed. I'm a child of the 80's, so the opportunity to experience a REAL arcade again just brought back waves of nostalgia for me. I honestly can't wait to go back. Can't recommend this place enough!“

“Best and most friendliest service ever!!! Helps that they have delicious food too!!!“

“I must tell you about Phils! It's hands down the best nightclub in Waterloo. As a student at Laurier, hitting up Phils is practically a rite of passage for every Golden Hawk. The place offers cheap drinks, a friendly staff, and an awesome atmosphere that's perfect for everyone. In my book, it's the ultimate bar in Waterloo!“

“My husband had steak I had Vegan and both were fantastic. The baked Brie with the pesto, insane! Our server Logan was very friendly and attentive.“
