8 Best Cocktail Bars near Waterloo

“Great cocktails. Nice live music I really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere.“

“This was our first time visiting this place. We had been looking for a place to try different wines. Our server, Erika, was very helpful with this. We tried 3 different wines and found our favourite choice. The brussel sprouts with bacon and syrup appetizer was perfect. The flank steak was perfectly prepared, although we were surprised that it came on its own with no side dish of potatoes or veg. We also ordered the Korean crispy chicken, the caeser salad, and the mushrooms side dish. The only real suggestion I had from this experience was different plating for some of the things served as the mushrooms was advertised as having 3 or 4 different types but the way it was swerved was in a small dish. The plating of the 6 oysters was great. My husband ended up wishing he had ordered more! The ambience was great and we were well greeted and we'll taken care of. It seemed everyone who was working there was happy to be :)“

“This is such a unique experience. It’s a hidden speakeasy that requires searching and a password to get into. The drinks are yummy and the atmosphere is lovely. Their one shot was so yummy it tasted like a fruit loop. The decorations are tasteful.“

“amazing food, wonderful vibe and great service!!“

“This exceeded our expectations. We have never been to a Michelin Restaurant before. Everything was outstanding —from the day we made our reservation to the greeting upon entry, the care and detail given to the menu, the service, the ambiance, and, last but not least, the food. Thank you for a great culinary experience. We will be back, and so will our friends when we share our experience with them. Bruce Schmitt“

“The Tri City Food Ninjas stopped in to Rustico tonight. We were a group of 46. Where do I start? The food: The food is incredible. ESPECIALLY the Arancini. Unfortunately I dove face first into my pizza before remembering to take a photo. The homemade Caesar dressing is also something quite special. The service: Staff was so attentive and on their game. They had us full of drinks, appetizers, mains, and dessert (in a lot of cases) in under two hours. We have some older members, some who work midnights and such, and the timing really meant a lot to them. We have had exceptional service in the past but the organization of this small kitchen and the serving staff is impressive! Everyone under that roof tonight showed so much pride in what they were doing. We will be talking about this stop for quite some time. Thank you for having us!“

“I enjoyed Italian Cuisine at Dels Kitchen on Valentine’s Day.
The young ladies at the Hostess stand were very friendly and helpful. They offered to take my photograph in-front of the Valentines Balloon display.
The service from my waiter Hayden HM was very good.
The food is always fresh and Homemade using locally sourced ingredients.
I started with the soft and fluffy flowerpot bread. It is served with two flavoured butters one sweet (cinnamon) and one savoury (garlic)
Then I had the Arancini balls that were very good.
For my main dishes I had the Chicken Parm and the seared salmon with orzo pasta, parmesan cream sauce, spinach, rapini with marinated tomato, pistachio crumble.
Both very good. For dessert I opted for the Chocolate Gelato with a Cappuccino and I enjoyed that grand finale immensely.
Next time I would love to try the butternut ravioli.
The décor is very nice and creates an Italian village staycation with the beautiful Murals, rustic wine barrel, and an eye catching Greek statue. I went down a a rabbit hole researching about this sculpture and this is what I gathered.
It appears to be Atlas the Titan carrying the celestial sphere on his shoulders. This cosmic responsibility and burden was a punishment for fighting against the Olympians in Greek Mythology. Very Interesting!
My only disappointment is the hours of operation on regular days.
If it was open at lunch time I would be a regular, but unfortunately it is on rare occasions that it opens earlier than 4pm.
I will be back again when it opens at noon!“
