Maxwell’s Concerts and Events Bar • $
35 University Avenue East, 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.“

“Angus beef burger ~18 with the added mushroom and cheese was fire. 5/5

For a random house on campus it’s actually so good, If you’re friends with grads make them pay 😙

Comes with a side of chips or small salad. Wish there were fries but still so worth.

Peach lager thing was also good too.

Pesto sandwich 3.5/5“

“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!“

It’s clean and d the morale seems so high! The food was absolutely delicious. Thank you!“

“Had a great experience September 5. The patio is a great place to be on a summer Saturday as it is mostly shaded. The Wuerzburger Lager never disappoints (it's my go to on jazz nights). We shared the Deluxe King Fries, which are brilliantly conceived, and the Barley Club sandwich.“
