Things to do in Waterloo

Waterloo's fun is compact and walkable. It's a student town where the whole evening happens on one uptown stretch: free-play arcades, a wall of taps, card tables running every night of the week. The energy is young and smart: board games and craft beer, trivia and pinball, everything a short walk away. The rare place where a night out needs neither a car nor a plan.
