Things to do in Kitchener

Kitchener's scene is smart and a little nerdy, and it knows it: euchre at a worker-owned brewery, retro cabinets beside craft taps, a board-game library that takes all day. It's the energy of two universities meeting a tech city. The vibe is unpretentious and curious: show up alone and you'll leave having played something and met someone. Fun here is something you do, not something you watch.
