Amazing experience.....great concept....all ages were in attendance......casual atmosphere....staff are hands on...knowledgeable and not pushy. Food on menu that day is nice to have snacks when having your drinks....can't wait for patio weather.!!
Three things Arabella Park has that no other beer bar/pub in KW has going for it: 1) excellent all-craft selection with friendly and knowledgeable staff to tell you about it; 2) surprisingly great food; 3) west-facing patio to catch the afternoon sun (so rare in KW for some reason).
Incredible selection of beer that is less available in retail stores. Knowledgeable, honest staff that will both represent their personal opinions and also temper their opinions for the general consumer. Really great experience. Drank "the sourest beer in Ontario" and for me it was spectacular (for someone else, given that description, it would have been adequate warning). We only ate some chips, so can't comment too much on the food. Will return.
Great selection of beer and food is surprisingly good. Had a fried chicken burger which was better than some more celebrated fried chicken places.
The seating outside is amazing, especially during the quite weekday evenings. Highly recommended for folks who want a nice place off from center of uptown Waterloo to enjoy an evening.
The best Nashville chicken and chip truck flies in town. The chicken on the burger is so juicy and spicy - just the perfect amount of everything. Must try if you haven’t
Best beer and best people. Almost 20 rotating taps and always a good mix of types of beer plus a few cider options —something for everyone! Food is also top notch and vibe is always on point. Love that there are no TVs. Can get a bit loud when it’s busy. Plus in nice weather the big open doors to the patio, and the patio itself, are really nice!
Hidden gem - Stopped by while I waited to pick up my food right across this beer bar. Phenomenal ambiance and beer selection is terrific. Craft beers are the name of the game and you can easily get 15-20 taps in rotation when you are there. Try the chronicle and thank me later! They also have wines and ciders. The patio in summer is lovely and this checks the box on all fronts. I haven’t tried the food here so can’t write much about it. In any case,
Go for the beer while you wait to pick up food from across:)
Always a great selection of beers, and this is one of my favourite places to grab an impossible burger, it’s delicious! I’ve always had efficient and friendly service and I’m super excited for warmer weather to try out the patio
Hoppy? Hazy? Dark? Sour? Strong? Cider? Double? Stout? Saison? Lager? Pilsner? And of course IPAs.
Arabella has them all. Great selection of rotating craft beer. Best french fries in town and funky atmosphere. One of my personal favourite watering holes in KW. Cheers.
The place was very busy when we went (the first patio weather of the season and our first outing since restrictions were lifted). They still managed to deliver food to our group (11) within a relatively short wait, that was cooked consistently and delicious, and offer good service. Everyone enjoyed. Will definitely be back.
