Reviews of The Drink Uptown (Night Club)

Angelica “dilica” M

My friends and I tried this out a few times and each time the experience was worse. The first time, we arrived around 11 and got in at 12, which was expected since we were not at the beginning of the line. Last Saturday, we went around 9:15 to ensure we were at the front of the general line. We were told we wouldn't get in until around 10:30, as we had to wait for the guest list to get in first, no big deal. At around 10:45, we were still not let in, and a large group of about 100 people showed up to be let in first. When this group showed up, there was absolutely ZERO organization, and NO communication as to how long it would take to get in. On top of this, there were a couple of girls who were choosing people out of all three lines to get the bouncers to check their ID before everyone else. We ended up leaving just before 11:30, as one of my friend's was on the verge of getting frostbite on her feet from us standing on the ice for so long, as the entire sidewalk was completely covered in ice, and was not salty at all. We ended up leaving, and spent our money at Phil’s, which we are now making our regular bar, as they are MUCH more organized.

Never been there! Lol, but let’s make the first review!

Great vibes & cheap drinks! Great spot to dance around or celebrate an occasion. There really is something for everyone! Only 4.50 for rail shots/drinks (score) & bottle service is the most affordable in the city. I always have a great time & run into familiar faces at the drink Bonus: sometimes they give out free food like pizza or other late night munchies????

Visited The Drink quite a few times this year after new ownership and renovations. Looking like the nightclub Uptown really needed after all these years!

My friend got kicked out for no good reason, all they claimed was “it’s private property”, it ruined our entire night

Definitely a good time. Usually a good crowd and everybody’s always dancing! Recommend either getting on guest list or buying a booth. The booths here are better than most clubs in Waterloo because they can fit many more people and you can also stand and dance on the levitated parts. Only problem was hard to order drinks as it was very busy but this is a common problem for clubs so not that big of a deal.

It was a decent place the music was good 50% of the time. Only thing that put me off is that when I was buying drinks they weren’t giving me my change back? I get it’s busy but I need that money to buy more drinks!! Erb and culture down the street is a little more worth it

Terrible music, the shots barely had any alcohol in there (so was their bottle service), coat check is $3, cover is free if u can get onto the guest list, most shots are $4.5, but they don’t seem to be hitting, no comment. Cocktails are the same price. The music ain’t it, got really bored. Not a good experience, pretty disappointed. The room isn’t big, the weird circular set up is just not the best. Equipments weren’t it too.

Kevin Boyle

Not the best

julia lemieux

Every time i go i have an amazing time! All the servers are very nice and the bartenders give an amazing experience (shout out to Brett and the team)! Great music every night as well.

Something seriously wrong!(Had to make a phone call and wasn’t let back in even to talk to any of my friends so I was kicked out to the street.) never had such a horrible time at a bar. If you care about your safety or about having a good time DO NOT come here they won’t even let you talk to you’re friend if you step out to make a phone call.

SAM HARDY

First trip was pretty good cheaper entry and similar priced drinks but much better staff

Nik Lev

Brutal bouncers, horrible line. Green toque bouncer is a tool

Had to make a phone call and wasn’t let back in even to talk to any of my friends so I was kicked out to the street alone with no one to contact. Such a terrible experience never had such a horrible time at a bar. If you care about your safety or about having a good time DO NOT come here they won’t even let you talk to you’re friend if you step out to make a phone call. Probably would have spent the night on the street or who knows where if my boyfriend hadn’t called and given me a ride home.

Don’t come here, DJ is hot garbage.

The drink is hands down my new favourite bar. I’ve been there many times since it’s opened and always had a good time. That’s why it was a no brainer for me to do booth and bottle service (which is super affordable) for my 21st birthday and it was so worth it! A huge shoutout to Sierra and Emma for being in charge of my booth and making sure my bday was the best one yet. Their service was nothing short of perfect. 10/10 would recommend.
