Kick Off - Waterloo, Ontario

This is a small place with a casual friendly atmosphere. Always a sport on the TV and you can play foosball for 50cents. the beers on tap are always changing and I'm told it's a great selection but I cant drink beer, luckily theres always a cider on tap ... too so don't feel like you can't come here if you don't drink beer. Friendly guy who works there too who gets to know more frequent customers. Read more

The best place to hang out in town. The barman was the funniest guy in the world! You even can bring your snacks with you!! I just had the best example ever... Definitely will check it out again.

This bar right here. Awesome service and reasonable drink prices. Best student bar in the city and it's not even close. Kick Off is a lifestyle.

Bill is the best bartender ever! I went here every week for almost my entire undergrad, and I would go back to Waterloo just to visit KO and Bill. The beer selection is unparalleled, with rotating taps, and a fridge selection that puts the LCBO to shame. ... The atmosphere is great, with that hole in the wall, everyone knows each other, Cheers sort of feeling. Just be prepared that Bill may spontaneously start yelling at people, it's just his thing.

I've been a near weekly regular for years. This is the most unpretentious atmosphere to savour excellent draft beer - both craft brews and bigger names from around the world. The place pretends to be a sports bar with a big ol' soccer ball on the door; when there are big ... games on you can watch them - but it's really a peaceful scotch and beer bar tucked away between a couple of university campuses. If you want to try a scotch or beer variety you have never heard of before you will be able to do that here. Read more
