18 Best Bars in Waterloo

“*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.“

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

“Milestones in Waterloo is a fantastic choice when you're looking for something that strikes the perfect balance between fine dining and a casual night out. The restaurant has a warm, modern atmosphere that feels inviting without being too formal. The staff are always friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable.

The menu offers a wide variety of food and drink options, from elevated comfort dishes to creative cocktails and healthier choices. Whether you're out for a relaxed dinner with friends or celebrating a special occasion, Milestones delivers consistently great food in a stylish yet laid-back setting.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality dining without the fuss!“

“Great golf simulator and excellent service?“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

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

“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!“

“Food was delicious, as always. Our server, Anika, was great. The manager, Caesar, was tremendous. He honoured our CAA discount even though it was wing night. We are long term and regular Kelsey customers. We often order more because of the discount. Kelsey's head office needs to stop nickle/diming customers and just honour the CAA discount no matter what.“

“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!“

“Famous charcoal outdoor Korean bbq. Best Korean frozen Soju place in the city.“

“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.“

“The first restaurant I ever tried kalamata olives!!! And the best Greek salad ever 😍This was probably 20 years ago. So glad the Jane Bond cafe is still going strong. Live in northern Alberta now. But may have to visit when I’m in Ontario this summer 🤔“

“Good burger. Fresh patty. Hot fries.
Avocado chicken sandwich was good.

Shrimp appetizer isn't worth the price though.

Typical bar and grill atmosphere.

Pleasant server.“

“Awesome spot, fantastic service :)“
