17 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.“

“My spouse, 9 year old daughter and I just visited Games on Tap for the first time. I highly recommend it! Excellent customer service complete with suggested games for first-timers and a great vibe.“

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

“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“

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

“Best sports bar in the area!“

“We saw the performance of The Jazz Room at the Westdale theater in Hamilton. Great concert. The band was great and the solo performances were amazing! The singer was born to sing jazz. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. We will undoubtedly go back!“

“My daughter was visiting from out of town and wanted to take me out for my birthday. The meal was great and the waitress was knowledgeable and very helpful as my daughter has a gluten allergy and had questions. The complimentary dessert was a very nice gesture, and we will be back“

“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!“

“Today we went to Kelsey’s for dinner. We got there and were served by Viktor. He did such a perfect job making sure we had everything we needed. I even pulled the manager aside to tell him of how happy we were and he said he gets that a lot about this worker! The whole restaurant itself is so well run. It’s clean and d the morale seems so high! The food was absolutely delicious. Thank you!“

“Great golf simulator and excellent service?“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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 🤔“

“Awesome spot, fantastic service :)“

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

“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.“
