7 Best Cocktail Bars near Waterloo

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

“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“

“First time visiting downtown Kitchener at the Walper Hotel & so happy to find this amazing Speakeasy right across the street. Justin (bartender/owner) was absolutely amazing. Super friendly atmosphere along with delicious cocktails & retro music. What more can you ask for?“

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

“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!“

“This was our first time at Del's and definitely won't be our last. The service was so great, our server, Lily, was so friendly and attentive. We ordered the family dinner for 4 and wow, it was outstanding. It started with a flower pot of freshly baked bread with two spreads, cinnamon butter and garlic butter, it was so good. Up next, we chose the arancini balls and they were so cheesy and perfect. We also chose the Caesar salad, it was so fresh and delicious. We also chose the pepperoni pizza and Tetrazzini with chicken - the pizza was perfect but the Tetrazzini was the most delicious pasta we have ever had. We ended it with the most decadent brownies, they were so, so good. It was $69.99 for everything (our drinks were extra) we have leftovers for tonight. It was such a great deal and we will definitely be getting it again.“
