REVIEWS OF The White Rabbit IN Waterloo

Emily Cyr

Wow! I told the bartender a little bit about what I like and he put together a FANTASTIC six-pack for me. Amazing choices - I will definitely be back!

Zara Hasan

Went for dinner - mediocre food but chill vibes. Would not recommend the pea risotto, extremely bland.

Yo

Nice relaxing atmosphere. The dim lighting and during the nice nights the patio (I guess) being opened, I must say it’s quite nice. The food in the other hand, they try to make it very “exotic” if that’s the word to use. Try to put a spin on food and I’m a very simple and I do like many things but when I want something specific they you add all this nastiness to it, no thanks! Service is nice, maybe the food is for you, not that it’s bad, I just can be picky I guess. I’d say give it a try!????????

Jack Ibbotson

Love the place. We have been a few times for mussels but this last week the service killed us. We were very disappointed as we come to have cocktails and a bottle of wine and food but we do not want attitude and that is what we got. White rabbit is a great place but need better service. My wife and I have been in the service industry for over 25 years and it was embarrassing the service we recieved this week. We may not return sorry

Silas Tsui

Quality of food has declined a lot over the past two years. Their sandwich had soggy bread and the mac and cheese was bland. Service was also very slow - it took over fifteen minutes just to pay for our bills. Would not recommend.

Rina R. Wehbe

Very nice food and drinks but also very expensive and small servings. It is a treat to drop by on a night out.

Steve

Definitely a local hot spot, we've shown up many times and the wait was huge and we ended up resorting to plan B! When we hit it before the rush, it's always a super tasty meal and top notch alcohol selection! Super friendly staff and awesome overall vibe in the decor too.

Kelsey Hellyer

This place is great! The mort drink is by far my favourite drink ever!!! The patio with the lights above is so cute and the service is awesome. Everytime we have friends in town we take them here after dinner! I’ve been about 5x this summer and can’t wait to go back.

Martinet Lee

Service was great. But the food was a disaster, Daily special was poke bowl. we are aware of all the ingredients, but is just astonished of how it is cooked. And how was this even acceptable to be put on table? 1. The rice is not cooked. You can even taste the hard part inside. Don't tell me it's because it is sushi rice... It's not. We love sushi and we go to a lot of these places. We know what sushi rice is. 2. The bowl should be renamed mayonnaise bowl. So much mayonnaise. You thought you ordered something with salmon, cucumber, carrot.... Yeah they're all inside. But they all taste mayonnaise. The thing is just sad. Me and my friend went to VALUEMART immediately. You know what? The microwavable food tastes so good after we had that horrendous and tragic thing. We gave a normal tip, the service is good. But they don't have quality control on food. The thing there is just sad.

Dhaval Thakur

The place is lively. The staff was too friendly and prices are economical. During covid also they have tried best to maintain social distance. Songs played were also great!

Kira LeBlanc

I love White Rabbit’s ramen special, it’s usually pretty solid, sometimes the noodles get really lumpy but they probably don’t make them fresh to order, today I was feeling sick so I decided to try using SkipTheDishes or ubereats to order I checked both and found out the ramen was on neither so I called the store the first person I spoke to said they would ask the chef to look into it and check to see if it was there in 15 minutes, after 15 minutes I checked again and I couldn’t find it and called asking if I could just order an equivalent or even higher priced item through either skipthedishes or ubereats and just get the ramen instead this time I was speaking to someone else and they refused! I’m very disappointed with their customer service as I come in almost every week and have recommended it to a lot of friends, they told me I could come in and pick it up but they were absolutely unwilling to make any accommodations to deliver it I’m very disappointed.

Caryn Farvour

One of my favorite bars for selection, atmosphere, service, and location. Definitely worth it being in your regular rotation :)

Mayank Sood

Good Ambiance, servers were amazing. We were there late night on Monday had chips guac and salsa with beer. Will be back for more…

Ashley Carroll

When the garage door at the front is open and smokers are also out front the entire place smells like smore. Enough that I lost my appetite. Probably won't be back, for the summer at least.

Beth Armstrong

Really great night out! I recommend the Chianti and the charcuterie. Great to share with friends. Bartender is really friendly, and the cocktails, while expensive, are deliciously crafted

Sanghoon Choi

Good food and experience. The live talented DJ and the fairy lights on the patio made for a great atmosphere. …

Scott Telfer

Small bar and crowded on a Friday night...but a very wide range of spirits and wines available and hilarious staff.

Pink (Lea)

Good food,high quality spirits and uncommon beer on tap. Keep count of the drink tab though, it wracks up!

Jeff Melo

Great place for a drink and nibbles. Small, great atmosphere, good staff. Best stocked bar in KW. Essential spot for whiskey fans.

Cody Freriks

Absolutely TOP NOTCH service from Evan. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Wonderful selection of Whiskeys, along with everything else to drink if that doesn’t suit you. Fantastic food as well.

Bingxu Hu

Always loved the drinks. Great platters to share with friends. Little pricey but a fun visit once in a while.

Melanie Runghen

Whenever I visit waterloo I Love coming to this little bar the the staff is always friendly. My fave is Brooke she always is smiling and has great suggestions of what’s good. She really makes the experience amazing. I recommend this place.

Siobhan Abbott

Ordered 3 separate dishes from here. Food was presented and packed very nicely. They also sent along 2 free pieces of cheesecake! Food tasted amazing! Definitely recommend.

Shrishti Varma

Visited this place a couple of times. The ambience is absolutely amazing!! Always love their cocktails! However, we personally do not like the taste of the food here.

Nolan Holmes

Great cocktails, piss for beer, and a food menu that, while fancy and unique, did not interest me

Michaela Ramsden

Excellent food, service and wine. Got seated by the door, was a bit drafty for a reservation but such delicious food. Will likely be back.

B Inthavong

Pricier but they do the best drinks selection in town. Ask about their pairings. Food portions small but well done.

Rachelle Pruss

Amazing spot to hang with friends and listen to great music. Food is amazing and the staff is outstanding so friendly.

DJ Ludington

AMAZING!! Love it here!! Favourite place to sit and drink with friends. Fantastic place to bring out of towners. Always have awesome fresh new drink ideas. Change up the menu often and have no problem.making a drink from ab older menu too. A MUST visit for waterloo!!!

Courtney Paba

My husband and I had dinner here, the service was friendly, food was alright. Shrimp ceviche appetizer was good, and my husband had the Mediterranean pasta which had a good flavour. I had the quinoa salad, parts of it (beets) were so salty I couldn't eat them (and I'm not picky at all!). Descriptions of the cocktails sounded interesting, I had a rose sangria which was refreshing and not too sweet. Overall, would go for drinks and apps but not dinner again.

Stephanie Kraus

My favourite place in Uptown Waterloo to eat, drink and be merry! Cocktails always to die for, they’ve cycled through a few menus since I started dining here, and have occasionally been able to make past favourites upon request!! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, I had a bartender make me the most delicious modified Cosmopolitan, and it’s been my go to drink since then. The food is spectacular - Try the Pork Belly Nachos or the Smoked Jerk Chicken Sammy - Both divine options! I’ve ordered online countless times and dined in once or twice during COVID and found their procedures really well in place, menus are fresh and interesting, portions are great, quality is unmatched, and they ensure that safety comes first! Always a great time at White Rabbit, there really is something for everyone!

Kyle Moore

Went here in the summer for a couple drinks. Could barely hear the person across from you at the table and it took really long to have our drinks served. Server was really really rude when I asked how long it would take to get our order.

archeryhime

Always a good time whenever I'm there. Staff is wonderful and the service is great. Highly recommend!

David Browne

Great selection of alcohol, nice atmosphere and good staff. I enjoyed my experience ????.

Jessica Gascon

Came here for my sisters birthday on a Wednesday pretty late at night but that did not impact the quality of the service or drinks. The last time I visited the White Rabbit was a couple of years ago but I was still as impressed as I was before and will be sure to visit again before the summer weather ends :)

Barbara Magolon

Taco Tuesdays are amazing! Only downside is they occasionally run out of radlers, but they have a great menu to choose from!

Robert Golabek

Great place with an urban vibe. They have a vegan section in their menu so I was able to eat there... And wow their liquor selection is just crazy impressive!

Marta Borowska

Really nice vegan menu, the banh mi sandwiches are great! They come with hashbrowns and pickles on the side. Nice atmosphere inside. The bar stools were sticky when we went so just be careful when you are sitting. Wallpaper in the bathroom is neat and cool subtle rabbit elements. There’s also a large door that opens to the outside for the summer which is nice.

Manik K

Great drinks, good service, & nice decor. Classy spot all around.

Connor orme

Drinks are alright don't bother with the food not a bad place but gave no reason to ever come back.

Celestine Tesla

I know it is mainly a pub and I regret that I cannot drink alcohol, but the dinner is really good as well. The shrimp ceviche is very fresh, but if you are not used to sour food you'd better not to try it. And I strongly recommend the New Orleans Rumb ( is that the right name?)! It is really juicy and the rice tastes good with the sausage!

Trevor Lennox

It's nice to have a unique bar in Waterloo. Very tasty artesian cocktails and a nice classy menu. A great feel if you want something nicer than a pub.

Caitlin Jenkins

Very cool spot - great drinks, amazing menu and awesome staff!! I'll be back!

Nathanael Scheffler

Awesome beer selection and their kitchen was amazing for accomadating allergies! They're also well set up for social distancing.

Mindy Laprise

Small but better that way. Service was great and prompt. Food was absolutely delicious (my husband and I shared the charcuterie board and cauliflower wings). Portions were great. Will definately go again.

Im The Devil

Delicious food & drinks and great service! I love the atmosphere and how beautiful the drinks look. I'm looking forwards to coming back here.

Desperado II

Really enjoy this restaurant, sometimes can be a little loud, but the beer selection is great and the all you can eat mussels on Wednesday nights rock.

Lacey Schwindt

Great food, service, location and they are always playing my favourite music....CLASSIC ROCK! You can’t go wrong here!

Philip Hill

Live music, amazing staff, amazing food, amazing drinks . Well worth it

Annika Jayne

Waitress was pretty rude. The food was great, the atmosphere was great, and I normally don't write bad reviews, but I've never had a rude waitress before.

Taylor Maavara

For some reason I thought this place was a club for the longest time so I never went here. Their lobster roll is really good and the mac and cheese is alright. Good beer selection; Unibroue beers on tap. Pricey.

Eden Lewis

Be prepared for a wait for cocktails because they're labor intensive, but they're really stellar. As with the Cobb salad. Plus Meat & Cheese board.

Leah MacLeod

Always great service! Decent selection of Scotch and the menu items I have tried have been great!

R FI

Dedicated vegan menu was delicious! Went with non-vegans who enjoyed the regular menu. Local microbrews available, but no great IPAs when I visited. Service was decent but kind of sparse. Seating is very limited here and can feel cramped, also we were near the door which isn't ideal. All said, I will definitely go back!

Stuart Hurst

Both my wife’s and my favourite place to hang out in uptown Waterloo. Staff are really switched on which makes the whole experience a pleasurable one.

Brooke Ryan

If I could give White Rabbit more stars I would! The service they provide here is unmatched, from the moment you're in line to the moment you leave, EVERYONE working makes you feel welcome and so happy to be there. They are the friendliest group of people and don't even get me started on the cocktails, they are amazing! I can't wait to go back to try their food, it looks just as amazing. After being off for so long, the staff is doing an amazing job getting back into the swing of things, the only thing I would recommend is to give people a last call before the kitchen closes. All in all, the ambiance, service, and drinks are well above 5 stars, way to go team!

Deen Kybartas

Best place to grab a drink, and the tall server is by far the nicest fastest server/bartender in the city!! 5 stars all day!

Terre Chartrand

A definite favourite. The charcuterie is well balanced, there's always great beer on tap, and the food is fantastic. Very comfy, albeit entirely high top tables, good service.

Neha R

Incredible tacos, and the side salad was absolutely delicious. Could you tell me what the dressing was?

Paul Fagan

This was one of the best dining experiences I had in a long time! The quality was undeniable, and the vibe and service was equally great. We had the Buffalo cauliflour bites for a starter, and it was a work of genius! I can't even properly describe it properly, but the taste and texture was unreal. I ordered the Kimchi chicken and waffles, which sounded amazing but tasted even better. The waffle was softer and less filling than a regular waffle which made eating the waffle and chicken together way easier, and also made it less of an ordeal to eat. It also contained a few Korean tasting ingredients, which combined with the spiced syrup and fried chicken fused the whole dish together in a way that is rarely attained with chicken and waffle. My wife ordered the beef sandwich but the beef wasn't ready and when my wife asked that they sub the beef for chicken, they recommended a tastier course of action. I really appreciated this, because rather than give us a subpar dish, the cook worked with us to give us a top quality sandwich. What she ended up with was so good, my wife refused to share ????. It came with potato tots which were obviously also amazing. The drink menu was good, there are places with more beer, but they have the largest selection of liquor in Southern Ontario apparently, so when I ordered an Old Fashioned, I was presented with a bourbon selection 5 pages long! I needed the waitress' help picking, and the result was perfection. Perfection! So do yourself a favour, and order a cocktail.

Natasha Ilincic

Quite disappointed by my experience here. We had reservations for 8:45pm, checked-in on time, watched about 10 groups in the "no reservations" line get seated before us, then we were informed that they gave our table away and that we had to wait for a table to open up on the patio (even though we had reservations for indoor seating). After being told "Five more minutes" over and over, we were finally seated at 9:45 pm in a dark corner of the patio, clearly not in the dining area. We were given one round of free drinks and the staff were very apologetic, but it didn't help that nearly everything on their drink menu was not available so we settled with drinks we didn't really want. At least the tacos were good.

Chayse N247

Love coming here, have done some electrical work here and usually eat lunch since we're already there. Amazing gourmet food with a great twist on it. Its always unique and delicious, lots of craft/local beers and staff are very welcoming. 100% would recommend if your looking to have a couple beers and a snack.

Barry Grant

Great little cocktail bar. A huge selection of alcohol and great bar tenders to make exactly what you want. Or ask for a new exciting concoction.

Leah De Spiegelaere

The cocktails here are quite innovative. Food is always delicious. And they have a great music soundtrack as well.

Patrick O'Donovan

Cozy spot, good uptown view, good food, good beer, parking is hit or miss. Also the ramen is randomly either good or terrible. Often noodles are way overdone and clumped together. The inconsistent ramen cost them their 5th star.

Russell Stirling

Lots of craft beer options, good tacos. A little expensive overall but fun atmosphere.

Colby Parsons

I didn't have a chance to try their food but their cocktails were creative and tasty! I'd recommend White Rabbit to anyone looking to visit an Upscale Cocktail bar.

Brittany Postnikoff

I look forward to going back and getting "The Mort" cocktail again.

Nachiket Kapre

Food is okayish.. sometimes it's fantastic -- back when they had pasta on the menu, but it's changed recently and not as good as before.

Sabrina Moniz

Visited on a Monday night with a group of girls from work. The ramen was amazing, the drinks were delicious and the playlist was incredible!!!

kiva Brown

I've been here a few times and always had a good time. The bartender and server are very friendly. I loved that they had a good vegetarian option that wasn't basic. Great stop!

Chris Brunke

Staff are fabulous! Drinks are great and the vegan wings are amazing!

Saroj Daniel

Amazing food, great drinks and a nice patio!

Angela Skelton

Went for lunch today with a girlfriend. The service was excellent. We were the only ones in there but our server was very friendly and accommodating. We shared the to die for cauliflower wings and then I had the brisket sandwich. Delicious!! Food was served hot too. Will definitely be going back!

Steve Daunheimer

This was our first time here and we were not disappointed! Our food was flavourful and presentation was equally good. We will definitely be back to try more from the menu. …

Rocky Singh

Impressive cocktail selection, great menu with very friendly service.

Lili Camacho

Amazing cocktails - new and the good ol classics! Try the New Orleans Sazerac. Sunday $10 Mexican Breakfast - huevos rancheros hit the spot. Not too crowded, super approachable staff, hip yet intimate atmosphere. Great date spot, girls spot, and go-to bar for whatever.

Eden Hennessey

Love their cocktails and shareable dishes, friendly staff, cool open garage door that leads right to uptown Waterloo.

Jordan Jantzi

Wish there was a 4.5 but alas. The white rabbit has currently turned their back lot into a lovely area for outdoor dining. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Enjoyed some buffalo Cauliflower wings and drinks which were delicious (the black sabbath and a rabbit sour). Originally hadn't planned on the drink but was very glad I ordered one. As for the food, would 100% get again. Well sauced with a thin crispy layer, a bit of heat and a decent flavour base, I found them to well deserving of the previous recommendations I had heard.

David Sarachman

Awesome drink list and their logo is very Bioshock--super chill vibe

Gilbert Shih

Service is good. However, the food isn't satisfying. We ordered the bowls. The rice is uncooked, and the salmon is over seasoned.

Lindsay Markle

My favourite cocktail bar in Waterloo- covid patio is great to have access to.

Fani H

Service was solid. We went during Hallowe'en season and got the Mexican breakfast. Kind of disappointed because my expectations were pretty high but food was still pretty good.

Narri Bacchus

First time visiting this place! If you are out for a drink and or app and to chit chat - not bad! But trying to have a convo over all the noise is difficult! Surprised they do not serve hot drinks ie tea! On the plus side the Mac & Cheese is yummy!

Breila von Holstein-Rathlou

Good vibe, good selection of beer, excellent dumplings. Not just a place for nachos and beer, it has good quality beer, and high end sharables.

Bat Soup

White rabbit has friendly, knowledgeable staff and a seriously impressive list of spirits on the menu. My only complaint is that the ramen they serve on mondays is literally not ramen. While not bad, it's just rice noodles in a simple broth with some meat and veggies. It's like calling Paella a Risotto. Otherwise, I have no complaints about White Rabbit. Stick to the drinks and the main apps, and you'll definitely enjoy yourself.

Kiki Shaver

Love the vibe in this place, yes music is a little loud but not too bad. Great food and drinks. Brisket sandwiches, mussels, deviled eggs, reuben sandwiches and wonderful. Best drink I've had - the french tickler. So tasty!

Brooke

I like the atmosphere. Very different cocktail menu. Love the creativity

Melica Mirsafian

Really harsh first time warning when I was trying to warm myself up by the flames they had put up to alleviate the cold. It was delivered to our table along the lines of “you have been warned multiple times” I appreciate the business and I understand the bylaws are being strictly enforced during the pandemic, and I look out for local businesses, but I expect a basic level of respect. I completely understand that I did need to be warned, but I had not been warned prior to that and the delivery of the warning was quite harsh and uncalled for. Having said that, the music, the cocktails, and all other servers have always been great, and prior to this experience I would have strongly recommended White Rabbit in a heartbeat.

Rachel Lang

Their cocktails are unique and delicious, and so is their food!

Cindy Guenther

Such a fun environment. Great beverage selection and charcuterie boards are fantastic.

Sara Evans

Excellent food and service! The bartender was very accommodating and made me the best spicy margarita despite it not being on the menu. The jerk chicken sandwich was one of the best things I’ve tasted. Excellent experience all around.

Craig Kieswetter

Ownership and management genuinely want you to have an amazing time here. I had a not so good experience but I was reached out to and told they made changes to make it better. My next visit went above and beyond my expectations. Not many businesses would listen to feedback and do what they did to improve the customer experience Shout out to Darius, Devon and Brie. Would definitely recommend!

Neil P

Nice selection of liquors, good specials on food. Service is excellent

Simon Harley

Good eats, a little bit on the hipster side. Cocktails are good but definitely overpriced. Small & intimate spot, great for dates or parties <4

Christian Saadalla

The food is great, the drinks are great, the music is great (especially if you like classic rock), the service is great, the ambience is great, the location is great, the prices are a bit higher than some bars but it's worth it. Trust this stranger's opinion!

jason rosso

Great little bar, cool menu and good friendly service. Menu has some Interesting items on it, we shared the king sandwich, bacon, banana, peanut butter etc... pretty good, I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. Just don’t sit under the speaker it’s particularly hard to have a conversation. Great job

g keh

Food was great but was in a bit of a hurry and too distracted to leave a review, hope to return again sometime this summer.

Alex W

10/10 liquor menu and amazing tasting opportunities. Very varied selection and decently priced platters of your choice to taste them.

Kendra Gibbons

Great service and good bahn mi, not super authentic, but delicious.

Brandon McBay

Great food , great service, really good spot for a late night drink and appy

Emma Schuster

Servers were all super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Our server offered to "suprise me" with a cocktail and he made a great choice! Food and portions were good and the patio was so cute. Definitely recommend the jerk tofu tacos and the black sabbath cocktail.

Aisley Ellis

Amazing food, the best cauliflower bites I have ever had i think. Friendly and quick service. Drinks are unique and yummy. The back patio is set up nicely, great if you want a more private meal.

Mike Mertes

Great whiskey selection. Turns out that the food is also incredible. Agnolotti and brisket were excellent.

Alex Roman

I went to White Rabbit with a friend earlier this week and had a mixed experience. We ordered an Aperol Spritz, the Mort, and In particular, I found the tacos to be pretty below-par. The tortilla was really cakey for some reason - a good flour tortilla should have a chewy, resilient texture. These reminded me of something I'd buy at the supermarket and the tortilla was served cold. We attempted to order a sample of different tacos, but were told that would be too difficult for the kitchen to manage. I didn't hold this against them, as it sounds generally reasonable, but given the quality of the tacos we were served I'm not sure this is true: are the fillings really made to order? If not, it should be pretty easy to accommodate an arbitrary assortment. Regardless, the jerk chicken tacos that showed up seemed more like jerk seasoned baked white meat than any actual BBQ'd/grilled jerk chicken I've ever had. When I think of jerk chicken, I think of rich, deep flavors associated with a long marinade and browning during the cooking process; the filling in our tacos didn't appear to have any browning whatsoever, which makes me immediately think that maybe they were baked instead of cooked over an open flame. Regardless of whether this was an issue with their recipe, or with the preparation on that particular day, they definitely left a lot to be desired. The Mort is priced at $14 and is a complex drink; I ordered it because it looked interesting, and I was excited to taste the flavors of the (many) ingredients. Unfortunately, the prevailing flavor in my drink was sugar, and it ended up being a super straightforward. Not sure if it wasn't made to the recipe, or of this was an intentional choice to satisfy a broader palate, but either way it was a disappointment.

Michelle Kong

We loved the seclued patio at the back and all the food options. We order the jerk chicken sandwich and the nachos and we're happy with both! Will be back

Geri Parkes

Excellent experience today at White Rabbit. Service was friendly and fast. Enjoyed a delicious cocktail, duck spring rolls, cod fish tacos and dill pickle salad. The food was well prepared, flavourful and delicious. Also enjoyed live entertainment Mike Todd on the patio. Cannot wait to go back. Highly recommend.

Calin Alexander

Fantastic place to get drinks in the evening. Some of the best drinks in Ontario, give any bar a run for it's money. Jarred is a mastermind and will make you things that aren't even on the menu.

Craig Voisin

Overpriced drinks, no bouncer so lots of drunk/under aged people, terrible service and small. I would never go back nor recommend anybody to go.

Jessica Duncan

went for my birthday, brought a group of 10 and the service was okay. waitress wasn’t very friendly and felt like we were almost annoying her. also, don’t expect a birthday dessert, apparently they can’t afford to give one out even though they’re prices are quite high. bit disappointed, probably won’t be back.

Thomas Tiedemann

It's dark, it's loud, music is great. Amazing cocktail selection and an eclectic menu that is really tasty. When your in Waterloo/Kitchener and you craze something different from the typical family/ home cooked/ German dining then this is a fun place to be

Katherine P

Cocktails for days! Great atmosphere and great staff! Never a disappointment! ????

Dinah Davis

Great food. Friendly staff with good beer recommendations

Lincoln Miller

Love the jerked chicken tacos! ????

Elizabeth Renaud

Shared the house made Ceviche with corn chips: light, crisp, a great appetizer. Also enjoyed a delicious twist on a G and T. Second time I have been here and I will be returning :)

Amy Miller

Excellent food.....didn't like I ordered a glass of white and they gave me $19 glass....house would have worked too. I was a waitress and I never would have done that. Boooo a bit.

Leanne Love

We stopped in for a drink on a Saturday afternoon. Our appetizer was very good and so were our cocktails. We enjoyed listening to the live music and will definitely be back to try a meal.

Jesse O'Brien

Excellent selection of anything you could want. Prices are reasonable and the food is great as well. The atmosphere is something you won't find many places in Ontario as well, unique and comfortable.

Steve D

Not only were our meals and drinks great, the service and atmosphere were excellent. When it was cold on the patio they offered to move us inside to continue our meal. A great restaurant with even better staff.

C Pilsner

Been going on Sunday afternoons for their charcuteire board. Great selection of meats and cheeses. They also have a great selection of well crafted cocktails.

Jake Walker

I ordered online. Go in, the server greeted me right away, respecting distancing and was super friendly. I ordered a few things, including a piece of cheese cake. When I got home I was delighted to see that there was an extra piece of cheese cake in the bag. It was an incredible surprise, and honestly, if I was them, I'd be doing the same thing. Not sure if it was a mistake or on purpose but it made me want to order again. Nice work. ????

Janice Moore

The food was amazing. Can't wait to find time to go back. I found the drinks to be overpriced.

Jared Robinson

Great restaurant, very fitting decor and music played too, overall vibe is great. I had the pork ramen with a Sapporo and overall I would defenitely come back for the ramen, very hearty and a perfect rainy day meal! Overall 9/10.

Gavyn McLeod

I love this spot. They make a mean cocktail. You really can't go wrong. But expect to pay a premium.

Dani Aldwinckle

Always great food when I go. The cauliflower wings are a must try and one of my favourites in the city!

Elle Aikins

Great atmosphere, loved that we could sit overlooking the street. Didn't love the small portion sizes, or servers attitude though. Seemed like a great place to bring a group of 4-8, lots of items to share. I'd give it another chance, hopefully more food comes in the group platters!

Natasha Ahmed

Favorite bar in KW. Dark vibes, great music and amazing bar grub. The cauliflower wings is a must try!

Katie Edwards

One of my favourite bars! I travel from Mississauga to come here. Very hip, very cool, fantastic service and a unique collection of cocktails. I love this place!

Lauren Austin

Music is always way too loud, and never changes from classic rock. Seating arrangements make it hard for smaller groups to enjoy themselves and find comfortable seating. Drinks and food are decent but a little pricey. Definitely not the place to go for chill drinks with a couple friends.

Joey Morrison (joeydmorrison)

Went for drinks. Very large spirit menu with a tonne of local and imported options. Server was very knowledged with their spirits. Great experience.

Henry Kha

Great food! Love their sharing boards! Cocktails are good too!

Andrew Dean

Impressed by the drink selection here; if you feel like taking a girl out on a Saturday night in a suit and tie, this is your place.

Patrick J. Power

It's a tiny place but food, drinks, atmosphere and service were all amazing.

Damian Sarzynski

Great cocktails and good selection of beers on tap. Small spot so it can be difficult to get a table on the weekend.

Jayne Marie Ferko

We had a group of six and went to The White Rabbit on Saturday evening this week. Two restaurants in one location leads to confusion for reservations. We had made reservations for the The White Rabbit side of the restaurant earlier in the week and the restaurant put us on the The Hop side of the restaurant. When we explained they had made an error, we were told the other side was all booked up and there was nothing that could be done. The music was extremely loud, so it was not conducive to carrying on a conversation. We were seated in a booth and there was no place provided to hang our coats. So we had to keep them on our laps as their were six of us in the booth. I had the arugula beet salad with a short rib add on. The salad was okay but only had an ACVinegar dressing and the goat cheese was barely visible. The pulled short ribs were dry and overcooked. My friend had the salad as well with jerk chicken as an add on. She found the jerk chicken to be very fatty. Her salad was the same as mine. The other ladies ordered tacos. Three enjoyed them, one did not eat hers at all. So I guess it is hit and miss. I found it to be over priced for what you recieve. 15.00 for our salads and then 6.00 for the add on meat.. I would have been happy to pay that if the food met my expectations. I think the White Rabbit side of the restaurant, and it's menu would have been a better fit for us. They do not share menus. The Hop side of the restaurant also does not serve coffee, not sure about the other, so no B52 coffee with dessert... The Hop side of the restaurant is definitely for a younger crowd and they all seemed to be having a great time and it was busy... Just not for me... I may go back to try the White Rabbit side, just to be fair. ( I hope I got the names right...) I will post a review once I do...

A really disappointing reception at front by the hostess. Based on excellent food review our family while visiting my son in Laurier decided to dine there and made a reservation for 5 pm, Nov 6, 2021. We totally understand that showing proof of vaccination & supporting ID is mandatory when dining out. What i don’t understand is the unreasonable hostess who refused to accept my son’s digital image of his driver licence on his iPhone while the digital proof of vaccination on his iPhone was perfectly acceptable. She didn’t even bother compare the personal info matches on both documents to make an informed decision. Sadly we were denied to dine there. We instead went & dropped $150+ at a Sushi Stars on King St, Waterloo and had a great experience there.

Camila Perez-Gavilan

Music was great, food was amazing, drinks were amazing. Went on a tuesday so it wasn't too crowded. A bit picey but worth it. 5 stars!

Hamid Lalani

Always a great place to go for a quality cocktail and light food. They have the best selection for top shelf alcohol I have seen in Waterloo. The food is on the pricey side but the quality makes it worth while.

Bil Surette

Fantastic! Great atmosphere, great cocktails, my new favourite spot in uptown Waterloo

Laurence Baird

A trendy restaurant in the heart of uptown Waterloo with a hipster vibe! I found the interior to be a wee bit on the dark side, but a warm atmosphere. The menu is very limited, so not easy to select different sharing options. The menu is also pricy, so be forewarned that an evening for two will run up a nice bill. However, the food is amazingly delicious!! For sure the signature dish at $36 is the surf and turf! The prime rib literally melts in your mouth and the potatoes are well thought out. I would have liked to see a bit more meat on the plate, personally. I was left wanting for more! Price is the only reason this did not get five stars. It is a trendy hipster restaurant with an appetite to try to compete with fancier restaurants where price is warranted.

Alex Leuschner

Great bar to go to in uptown Waterloo. Great feel and music. Atmosphere and music is fun. Had a auchentoshan scotch paddle

Maia Gill

The food was amazing here. All of the tacos are so delicious. And our server was great as well. The host staff was a little rude (I say that as a host myself).

Laura (ElleSea)

Devilled eggs and ramen are delish. Great cocktails. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere.

Eagle Lion

Excellent cocktails with a fantastic selection of fine spirits. The bartender was passionate and tasted her drinks (with a straw) before serving. This is someone who cares about their craft; so nice to see! Must go back and try the food. Looks like a nice menu!

Saeed Hessami

Loved the food and the atmosphere.

Thiago Neres

Wonderful, original cocktails and delicious dark chocolate cheesecake. Definitely coming back!

James Morgan

First time there and hopefully not the last time. Food was awesome. Had the jerk chicken skewers(great seasoning) , cauliflower wings(crunchy and saucy) and the beef short rib sammy(yummy). Drinks were flowing easily. All the staff were welcoming and friendly.

Megan Kim

Came across this place with my boyfriend as we were looking for a place to eat and I’m so glad we found this place! The food is really good and it’s also a nice cozy place where you can hang with your friends and get a few drinks as well. For sure coming back again :)

kyle squazzin

We had a bunch of different apps and it was amazing. Tried a few of their cocktails and they were fantastic. Little bit trendy and great vibe

Casey Vandonk

Always a good atmosphere with rock music playing not too loud in the background. The vegan food options keep getting better (thank you for the new specifically vegan menu!) and a reason we will keep returning. I also haven't had one bad drink here. Highly recommend.

Julie Cook

Great setting and vibe. Cocktails creative but need some honing - eg: grenadine should be homemade never, never that neon red stuff when offering a premium cocktail.

Katherine Therriault

She did a great job with my hair. Love the hairdresser Devon. God bless

Tyler Jouwsma

Bar +++++ the variety is insane! And beautifully built. Food +++++ fresh and unique, great flavour profiles. Atmosphere +++++ music is amazing, great vibes. Staff +++++ friendly and efficient Must try place post covid! ❤

Kissan Mistry

The crab and jalepenos hush puppies didn't taste like crab or jalepenos. The poke bowl rice was not sushi rice and didn't have enough tuna in it for the cost. The chicken in the chicken and waffles didn't have any seasoning either and dry.

Gillian Lapointe

Went for their 1/2 price wine bottles and $20 charcuterie boards for date night - will be going back! Good atmosphere and great cocktail list in addition to the wine list.

Kevin Blokhuis

Best charcuterie in town. Works best with the half price wine bottles on Sundays (and every other day too)!! Best back bar as well.

Yara A

Went on a Monday for ramen and Sapporo night and was extremely disappointed with the food. The ramen did not taste good, the noodles used were subpar (not the standard ramen noodles, they were too starchy, almost like overdone spaghetti?) and was overall bland. The service was impeccable though, and we've come on different nights where the food was great -- even the dumplings we got as an appetizer were good, but I would not recommend the ramen at all.

Niklaas

Excellent service and great food!

Michael Birch

I went there for drinks and a snack. The crab dip was very good, the bourbon tasting board was amazing and the "Smokey & the preacher" was both delicious and looked cool (lots if smoke involved). Despite being quite busy service was still fast and friendly.

maia tchoumak

Great selection, tasty food, love the rotating menu. Oysterfest is must!

Heather Longeway

Try the "rabbit greyhound" - vodka, champagne, grapefruit juice ????????‍♀️????

Bill Parke

Loved it. What a beer selection! The the food was top notch

Jason Mastrandrea

Nice spot with great music. Wise selected beers on tap. Service was outstanding, have to go back to try some of the scotch selection.

Zach Waterfield

Awesome selection of drinks. Menu was surprisingly good especially the cauliflower wings and butternut squash ravioli.

Jonny K

Food was ok, but took forever to come out. Staff was very personable, and there is a great drinks selection. Other than the food taking a long time, we enjoyed ourselves.

Sven Trachsel (CREATOR.X)

Great bar, been a while, awesome and freindly service

Sonali Mohapatra

This was my all time favorite bar in Waterloo. The Swiss Miss is the cocktail to die for! And there are also a bunch of free records you can choose and take home!

Olivia Nwaokocha

One of my favourite places for a fun meal and drink anytime ! I went to White Rabbit for my birthday and I loved the food, service and Atmosphere. My friends had ordered something they didn’t like (cauliflower chicken wings) and the waiter compensated and apologized for it in a polite manner. I loved my seafood pasta dish that I ordered. And when we went back the second time the service was nothing short of wonderful ! This is definitely the place to go for a late night meal or drink as they are open later than most places! I would definitely be back!!

Jonathan Hendel

One of the best drink selections in town. Haven't had a meal yet, but I hear it's quite good.

Emily Elliott

the drinks were great but I was very, very disappointed in the food.

Karley George

Came here with a friend. It was a cute dining spot for two. Convenient location uptown too!

Mario Paez

Great cocktails and food and friendly lunch service. Poke bowl special was really good and the brisket sandwich amazing.

Tiana Krsmanovic

Incredibly friendly staff!

Kiana Lee

The drinks here are great. A little pricey, but very good with lots of options. Great servers. Patio seating is limited at times and can be busy.

Mike Bender

Great cocktails, great tacos

carissa kraft

Great music and interesting menu. If you want to catch up with friends the music is a bit too loud to chat.

Cecilia Larson

Wonderful drinks and service.

Michael Bierstock

My new favorite bar! Comfy atmosphere, great food and a FANTASTIC bar and selection. If you are looking for a solid place to have some fun, grab a bite and listen to great music, this is your place in Uptown Waterloo. See you there!

Matthew McLeod

Only worth going on Monday for Ramen and Sapporo . Sandwiches went way downhill and the wait time is often ridiculous, even when empty. Review based off of 5 visits over 2 years.

Adam Rowe

Great music, singalong style. Lots of whiskey. They really need a whiskey menu, or you'll be guessing and staring at the back all. A little over priced so definitely go for only a couple drinks.

Krystle Komaranski

Great food, love the drinks and the space is really cozy!

Jack Wang

The staff are amazing and friendly. Their recommendations are always on point. The drinks are delicious, I had a local IPA and my partner had a lemon cocktail. Both were recommended by the waitress. The food is amazing and worth the price in my opinion. I think the atmosphere is very energetic and great all around. Would recommend for a date or if you just need an excuse to have a beer.

Normand Dæmon

The only thing that was correct about our order was the cheese cake... 1 part of our order was missing completely eventhough it was included on the receipt and the other 2 were made wrong. When we tried to call and talk to someone the call went straight to voice mail, which was full. 100% would not recommend.

Ashley

Enjoyed the pork belly nachos, smoke short rib tacos and honey sriracha cauliflower wings. Was curious on how they would travel, but arrived hot and crispy. Nice flavour and would order from here again.

Noah Enns

This place has a large patio open right now with lots of picnic tables. The food was delicious and there is a very extensive drink selection. The service was friendly but very slow which is why I am only rating 4 stars. I would definitely come back here! We tried the brisket sandwich and the jerk tofu tacos and both were very good. The portion for the sandwich wasn’t huge but was certainly enough food. The tacos were tasty and not too spicy, and were a good veg option.

Mike Lively

Anniversary weekend. Ordered a table thru open table . When we arrived had an excellent seat near the front. The front was open as it was a nice night so you can see the street action . Had the basic mac and cheese which my partner did not like and they took it off the bill. Callifower bites were excellent and we had two orders. Have a very extensive mixed drink menu. It's not big so it can be loud , but a very trendy place in downtown Waterloo. Will go back again. Nice date night location.

Anne Campbell

Fabulous take-out at White Rabbit and Hop House: Bang Bang Shrimp, Blackened Fish Tacos, House salad and cheese cake was delicious as always. Never disappoints. A weekly staple ????

Wesley Yue

I rarely leave negative reviews but the food I got was really subpar which is disappointing because this place seems to have good reviews. I got a set of short rib tacos with guacamole and a side salad. The guac was liquid and looks like it was the kind you would get at the grocery store that came from a factory and would stay green for months. If I'm paying $1 extra for guac I'm at least expecting it to have some resemblance to avocados in texture and taste. I also would've liked the gauc to come with the tacos instead of on the side but this is not a big deal. The tortilla was doughy and tasted like the cheapest store bought tortillas that were available. A good portion of the meat was burnt and dried out (though the parts that were properly cooked were decent). The tacos pretty much came with no topping which is a let down. It was honestly more like a bao than a taco. The side salad was also underwhelming. I did get two cookies which was a nice surprise, until I tasted it because it tasted both stale and undercooked which I didn't even know was possible. I'm assuming I just got unlucky with my food since everyone else seems to be raving about the food in their reviews.

Melissa Klompstra

This is my favourite spot to dine when in town. Attempting to make my way through the entire menu, but it’s difficult when I love everything I’ve tried and want it again. Last night we tried a few new to us items... - Pork belly nachos are oh so good! Very large portion so it’s easy to share or have it as a meal on its own. - Lemongrass Beef, delicious would be an understatement. I’ve now had all beef dishes and they are sure not to disappoint. Service is second to none, great vibe and awesome play list. Mucho love for the White Rabbit Team, keep on rocking!!! Mel

Tau Hussain

I can't recommend the food or praise their service (it seems to be a little biased against students), but there is no better place for mixed drinks in the city! Their expertly executed cocktails and magnificent punch bowls keep me coming back. Bring a group of 3 or 4 friends, and have the time of your life drinking from a gigantic and beautiful bowl full of their Rosy Peach. 4 stars, for the drinks only.

Zach Bell

Amazing selection and quality of culinary treats - sustainably packed for take out. Very pleased with my meals here. Keep up the good work!

Joshe Belrose

Uber Eats doesn’t let you type in modifications to your order, but if you call, they’re more than willing to help out! Ian helped me with my allergy and was super friendly (especially because I ordered 40 minutes to closing hahah). The nachos are incredible.

Rylee Greenough

Went during patio opening after covid, took 10-15 to get TWO rum and cokes we ordered when there were only five tables and FOUR servers!! Two of which were socializing with a table that was clearly friends or otherwise. Our server didnt get any of the modifications to the drinks we ordered, one tasted verry alcoholic and the other like pure pop, nor did we recive an apologize for the long wait... it's all about recovery in service. During the waiting period another server approched our table asking if we had been served yet, then ANOTHER approached us about Food.. that we did not order, we told him he had the wrong table so he had to reture to the other servers to get clarification on what table he was supposed to approche. Overall Bad experience and Bad service especially for the amount of staff to customer ratio. Would not recommend.

Tim Smith

HORRIBLE experience. The "manager" Jess Sharkey was extremely rude. I went to the bar to order 6 $20 individual shots for my table. She rudely said she wasnt tsking orders. I will give my business to bars that appreciate their customers and provide good service. Due to Jess's poor attitude and awful attitude, my friends and I will spend our money elsewhere. Word of advice for the owners, fire Jess Sharkey immediately, your profits will rise immediately.

Michael M.

Good tacos, pretty solid vegetarian options

Emily Dopson

White Rabbit has been a staple for me ever since they opened. I love the cozy atmosphere, the exceptional service, delicious food and unbeatable cocktails. Tonight they truly went above and beyond though. I ordered some take out and when I got home we realized they had given us the wrong kind of tacos. Not usually a big deal but being pregnant my stomach is rather fussy lately and I really didn't think I would be able to eat anything other than what I ordered. We reached out to them and not only were they super apologetic and accommodating, they even included complementary desserts and a whole new order! This is truly the kind of service you only experience in small local establishments. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough!

Wes Bast

Fantastic food! Fantastic service! Fantastic beverage selection! What more could you ask for!

Jamie Zabarte

I've always loved this place. So trendy and sexy. I love the menu and drink options are amazing. The last time I went I brought some of my girlfriends with me and the server was great. We had the poke bowl, mac and cheese, dumplings and a bunch of tiki Thursdays drinks. The food was fresh and really good. It was a great time.

Sam Pulsone

A bit pricey, but wow, fantastic.

Claudia Hoang

Great place for cocktails and appetizers. It has a very relaxed atmosphere. Came here for lunch with coworkers and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend the cauliflower wings and the brisket!

Mingoman Mingoman

(Bar/Eatery/Cocktails/Spirits) This is a fantastic little spot in the heart of Uptown. Solid selection of draft and bottled beer, and one of the most diverse collections of spirits, liquors and liqueurs in the area. If you want it, they probably have it! My go-to place for a drink and some classic tunes. Sundays have the best local DJ's spinning your favorite music. Ramen special every Monday. Bring a date here for a bite to eat or try the fancy punch bowls! Not sure about wheelchair accessibility (small set of stairs at entrance)

Hayden Phillips

Went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty busy, good selection of beer and alcohol. Playlist was good as well.

Morgan B

Fantastic Super Bowl spread. It was wonderful and flavorful. Absolutely love that they cater to vegetarians.

Andrew Harvey

Great food. Great drinks. Great staff.

Fuss Ball

Exceptional service and good selection of beer, scotch, and cocktails. Had an excellent charcuterie board. Very pleasant casual atmosphere.

M Craio

Great service, cozy atmosphere , awesome music, and the food is very , VERY GOOD ! Try the meatloaf, try the Gumbo why not have both....I did. Corn dogs are great too.

Melissa Davenport

My friend and I had a very uncomfortable experience here on my birthday. As we have not been able to catch up in months, we planned to come here to celebrate my birthday as well as the completion of our finals. Collectively, we ordered over a hundred dollars worth of food and drinks, and being that it was my birthday, we were both eager to dress up and take photos to remember the night. The waitress, Brooke, immediately changed her disposition after we paid and tipped, making a comment about how we should've taken our pictures at home. As we were understandably quite uncomfortable, we started getting ready to leave, however, my friend lost her earring in the bathroom so we both went back to go search for it. As we went to the bathroom she yelled "for real?" insinuating we should leave already. After we left, 15 minutes before closing I might add, she also yelled "Thank god" extremely loudly. When my friend inquired about her name, she gave us a fake name as well which is highly inappropriate and downright immature. We will be going elsewhere next time, where we feel welcomed.

Donna Schwartzentruber

The appetizers were well crafted, wonderful presentation and absolutely delicious! Next visit will include a main course!

Mav Zee

Food is great but seriously over priced, many great places on King to eat for half the cost. Also, have you saw they way they handle their food waste? There's been a bag of fruit waste, probably leftovers from drink garnish, sitting on king street for a week and a half leaking all over the sidewalk... And now it has grown to two bags. Worse is when the had their patio in the back of the building they would throw the same fruit waste bags over the edge into a ditch behind the building itself. If they can't handle basic food disposal, what's the chance they get your food right or properly prepared in a sanitized kitchen? ???? Come on WR, you're better than that. ????

Adam Chapman

Awesome little spot. I went plain Jane on the drinks, but after seeing some of their specialties get served I had some solid FOMO. When I return, I'll do something more than beer.

Beth Duke

Fabulous cocktail menu and delicious food ! Great service and ambiance !

Mel

Service was great the bartender was extremely nice. She did a great job and the food was awesome had the cauliflower wings.

Jeff Dyson

The patio outside was a nice spot, I really enjoyed it. when it got dark the lights strung up overhead and around kept the good atmosphere going. the picnic tables were maybe a bit uncomfortable after awhile but the food was interesting and the drink selection abundant. On the pricier side tho, glad I wasn't paying the bill yikes. the inside was comfortable and has style. a handful of individual bathrooms was cool. A bar that doesn't try too hard because they know what they are doing and they do it well. A good choice to anyone wanting a cut above.

Shanna Mckeever

Delish!

Ryan Carr

Amazing cocktail menu and cool vibe! Great friendly staff.

Jaxx Mc

super chill dark hole in the wall. gr8 concotions . okay food. get a punchbowl! friendly enough staff. very diff vibe than rest of loo. in a gud way!!

Bob Smith

I would skip. Good for an alcohol selection, good beers on tap and a large liquor selection with knowledgeable bar tenders. Otherwise, terribly, and pretentiously overpriced. I mean they have a good vibe and feel, but save yourself the money and go somewhere else. Worth it for one drink - careful what you order.

Gautam Bajaj

Great atmosphere and unique dishes! Loved the smokey duck wings, although the service could be a little quicker

Steve Simonson

I have not tried the food yet. The service was very good and the beer selection was impressive.

Just some random guy

It is a really nice bar. Plenty of room between tables. Spacious, comfortable seats Good music.

Jeremy Torculas

Great night time atmosphere with great food and service

Gordon Ross

When I ate at the White Rabbit (when that was allowed), I couldn't figure out what I liked the best...the atmosphere or the food. I just ordered take-out from there and now I can't figure out what I liked best...the braised beef sandwich or the chicken sandwich...or was it the Buffalo cauliflower...they were all amazing!!! You have to try the food here...it is an experience

Colleen Wanner

We ordered takeout from here for a Friday night Fish & Chips dinner. The food was yummy, and the delivery service was great, but the portions were really disappointing for the price. My order came with 9 fries...yes only 9 (I couldn’t believe it - I had to count). The fish was small too, nothing like the photos. Delicious nonetheless but I didn’t feel I got my money’s worth. The meat and cheese plate was great!

Larry Scanlon

Great food. Great selection of beverages6. I'll be back.

Elaine N-K

Have been here before and thoroughly enjoyed food and service so decided to come back for girls night! The server was rude and extremely condescending. A single vodka soda with generic Iceberg vodka cost 16 dollars which I found beyond ridiculous. After realizing the service would be slow, rude and overpriced we decided to leave after one drink and all paid our tabs + standard tips despite the lack of service. Upon departing, the server actually ran out after us into the street and very rudely suggested we didnt pay our tabs! Upon reviewing our reciepts she realized she had made a mistake and we had, in fact, paid in full with tips and without another word or apology upon realizing her error she went back into the restauraunt. Do yourself a favour and take your business elsewhere.

Jess Ie

Great drinks, yummy cauliflower bites but the tacos were okay. We had a great friendly server and the patio is a vibe. I would recommend this place to catch up and have great drinks with friends!

Shay Berkovich

Been there 3 times. Good selection of draft beers, relaxed atmosphere and good service. Didn't eat much there, but everything that I did try was tasty.

Jeff MacIntyre

Love this place. The patio is great. Staff is always upbeat and helpful. Great selection of beers and cocktails. Food is always delicious. I recommend the Pork Belly Nachos served on wonton chips or the Smoked Beef Short Rib sandwich. You won't be disappointed

Wren Scheidl

Very tasty food with a large liquor selection but the lager selection was Sapporo or Sleeman's. Loses a star for portion size. An expensive plate should be both tasty and filling... not just tasty that leaves you wanting more.

thomas goodwin

Ordered take out and food was amazing. Shrimp pho-boy was amazing . Will have to make another trip to Waterloo in the future.

Jay Pat

Overpriced -- $12 for a handful of waaaayyy too salty Ritz crackers with crab dip. Really? RITZ crackers in a higher scale restaurant? C'mon, at least give us pita, baguette, anything remotely adult appropriate. We had a good time but had to laugh off the grubby t-shirt wearing staff. Although they were nice, the upselling was way too obvious. Genuine menu recommendations appreciated, but when you try to get us to order the most expensive drink and food item every time it's insincere and an insult to our knowledge of drinks.

B B

The service here was great, I enjoyed the classic rock and retro vibe, the food was really good too. Last but not least; amazing cocktails.

Mike Jacobs

The food and drinks were amazing and the service was fantastic

Sonny M

This place makes me think of the words I picture hearing from Gordon Ramsey - Simple fresh and flavourful food done with attention to detail. Nothing pretentious - but delicious! I love the patio atmosphere at the White Rabbit. We have only been here a few times but have been consistently pleased. Lots of beer choices. Cool tucked away location not visible from the front of the restaurant. The fish tacos were very good - not smothered with multiple condiments or overly spicy. Rather they were well balanced with enough flavour and fresh ingredients to be very satisfying. The service was quick and friendly. It's a lively mood with good music for us kids born in the 70's. I can't wait to see the completely renovated inside.

Dean Miller

This place has the largest choice of liquors I have seen, very impressive. The staff know them well also, which is just as impressive.

Kelly Diane

First time trying this place and I loved the tacos! The wait staff are incredible and I will definitely be coming back sometime soon!

Zachary Rieger

Craft cocktails? Check. Beer? Check. Largest back bar in southern Ontario? Check. If you want it, they'll probably have it. Something not on the menu? They'll probably be able to mix it for you!

Lu Xin

The food is great and nice atmosphere. But the service is terrible. One of the waitresses just ignored me for several times when I waved my hand. And I felt uncomfortable when she served me. Love the food but not come again.

Fraser Stalkie

Ramen in Monday, Poke bowls on Thursday. Amazing cocktails everyday. This is a great little gem in Waterloo. One of the largest bar rails in Ontario means there really isn't anything they can't make. One of my favourite places in Waterloo. If you haven't been, you should.

Chelsey Sowden

Delicious tacos and friendly service during our lockdown takeout!

Katrina Sipkes

We were there for dinner and cocktails last night. It was our first visit. The cocktails were delicious! We tried multiple ones and nothing failed to impress. Dinner, blackened catfish for him and a po'boy for me, was very tasty and arrived promptly. The highlight might have been our server, Mike. He was attentive, knowledgeable and damn funny. We really really enjoyed our evening. If ONLY they could play music a little more reflective of the place - the stale classic rock got old real fast.

Sheila Weir

Super disappointing visit to the White Rabbit this past Saturday evening!! The decor was fab and it had so much potential in my mind but it fell short. Our server was attentive BUT did not read the table - it was date night and we were not in the mood to be pushed or rushed. He refused to sell the table a bottle of wine stating Smart Serve standards (???) and then when my Cornish hen platter came out bland (no taste what so ever), he simply apologized. There was no attempt to make it right or even ask if I wanted something else! It was our first visit there and at this point, it will probably be our last.

Lola Andrews

Really nice atmosphere. But I'm super disappointed that they got rid of their deep fryer! No more tatertots!!! :( That was the BEST thing on the menu

Dan Pronovost

A cool and happening small bar. Very eclectic and usual cocktails.

Ethical Business Report

Wonderful food, cheerful staff and a great environment but the management needs work. From hiring folks without bank accounts to allowing questionable activity to go on in the back, the owners need to organize how they conduct themselves from a moral stand point. We have also recieved reports about an employee who went over 3 months without recieiving pay after constant communication with the owner. Strange times we live in when those who have more take advantage of those who have less.

Conor

Amazing fish and chips takeout and above and beyond customer service.

Alyssa Egbert

Had the tacos. They were decent. However the quinoa that came with it tasted like it had dish soap in it. Also, it tasted stale because it was hard. The patio did not look good because the table cloths were all dirty and discoloured.

Christine Threndyle

This is a really unique little pub. It was a bit dirty but the staff are very friendly and service was quick. Excellent music playlist. There is a huge variety of alcohols to choose from but no menu which would have been nice to have. Pricing was pretty steep but not a bad spot if you're just grabbing one or two drinks!

Mark Yamada

Fantastic cocktails and drink selection, but the food has been a bit hit or miss in my past experiences, particularly the ramen.

Sylvia C

I wanted to check this place this out since the reviews were great but I actually had kind of a weird experience. I had a reservation, (although it ended up being empty inside the day I went during the week.) My friend and I had 3 drinks each and also food. Other than the shot we took, the drinks seemed like they had no alcohol in them. The waitress also was checking back to see if we were ready to order more drinks before we were even halfway done with the ones we had. I said I wasnt sure yet, and she brought us the bill even though we still had more than an hour left in our reservation. It kind of felt like we were being kicked out. I wouldn't go again.

egp @egp

Fave dive/not dive bar in Kdub/SWOntario. Piped in music was awesome. Live Sunday music could go away in my personal view but I am sure some people enjoyed the way too loud/too much tremolo experience. Best looking bar/ booze selection in the area. Wicked cocktails. Tip staff well please.

Daniel Wyllie

Delicious cocktails. Great verity of liquor. Definitely one of the finest cocktail joints around.

Catharina Deer

Great menu variety for meat, chicken, fish and vegetarian lovers! There something for everyone. A great place for get together! Way to go Devon for having such a great place, great music and excellent staff! Thank you Meg, Ian and Mike and always making our nights a memorable one ovwr the years!

Kimberley Miller

Justin was our Server he was Fabulous..had extremely tasty Cauliflower wings..and Blackened catfish tacos..WIN/WIN..Wonderful. looking forward to going back

Chris Kasulke

Excellent vibe, great food, friendly staff, but not 5 star as the cost was quite pricey. The cheese and meat platter is $35 for very little actual cheese and meat and not nearly enough bread to go with it. I wouldn't order it again. I bet what was on that board didn't cost them even 10 bucks. I'll be back, but not that often due to pricing.

Amanda Stellings

Good place to grab a drink and a bite. Highly recommend the cauliflower buffalo wings. Can be loud at times though.

sonia singh

Fantastic choice of drinks, ambiance and service was great! The meat & cheese board was a bit disappointing...tasted like prepackaged meats. The kimchi and pork dumplings were delicious. We would give it another try.

Matthew Gayford

Came back after a few years and was dissapointed. Service was mediocre and the dessert was bland. We each ordered house specialty cocktails, thinking they would be more interesting, but were wrong. Mine was just lacklustre, but my wife's seemed to have almost no alcohol in it at all. With the higher prices of the drinks we felt somewhat ripped-off. There a better cocktail places in KW, with higher-quality and more generous drinks in nicer settings, so we probably won't be back.

Ryan Cole

I absolutely love this place! There's two staff members I have to give a shout out to. Evan and Danielle! They make every time I go there amazing. If I could give White Rabbit six stars I would.

Marcel D

Always a delightful experience when visiting the White Rabbit for food and drinks! Had the pleasure of being served by Brooke who’s very welcoming and conducts herself in a professional manner. Infectious positive energy and good vibes, makes for a pleasantly wonderful experience :)

Keith Diaz

This place is unbelievably cool - staff is easy to talk to and they were having a special on their tostodos or however the heck you spell that. So good though, soooo good ????

Marie Chergui

This is my favourite place. I got takeout yesterday, it was so good I wanted it again today, but closed for Easter. So I'm definitely going tomorrow! Yum! Amazing fish tacos and that salad. Amazing.

Rick Dobrowney

This is a cute little experience, exotic retro help, food menu is exotic but doesn't cater to the typical pub fare and prices are pretty high although I suspect the quality is good drinks are all so expensive but it's a unique experience worth checking out we go several times

Lyanne Nuñez Castro

Very small, loud music, not a place to talk, you can't hear the person next to you. It's a restaurant but the music is like a club in loudness.

Lindsay V

This restaurant is such a great place for drinks or food. The atmosphere is moody but cozy, and the employees are friendly and attentive. They have good vegetarian options as well. Everytime I introduce a friend to this place, they're glad I brought them.

Offers a variety of little plates , good vegan options if that's your need. Great bartenders. They music is a little loud for my liking in the evening.

Jerk Tofu Tacos & Caulflower Wings The most well packaged delivery I have received. Delicious fresh food and as a bonus they included 2 big chewy cookies for dessert. 5+ stars ???? Thank you!

Update: the food has returned to being good. The drinks are fantastic and there's a great selection. The food used to be great as well but has taken a steep tumble. Have been 3 times recently and each time the food was severely lacking. Will be back only for the drinks.

Music is too loud, but the place is nice and trendy. I want a place where I don't have to tell at the person who is sitting across from me.
