I gotta say that it wasn't easy to spot this brewery. We had…read moreto call and ask to help us out to get to the location. This is a co-op type of brewery and from their own web site, this is how they describe themselves: "Our team has been working together for two years to bring this brewery to Kitchener. Each one of us brings a different perspective to this venture and a very unique set of skills formed by our diverse experiences. We have babysat for one another, met each others' parents, and celebrated each others' milestones, becoming much more than just colleagues in the process". Despite TWB doesn't serve the kind of beer I like because I found it to be too hoppy for me, my friend who like a much broader type of beers found this to be very, very good. Porbably one of the best top 3 experienced in the entire Waterloo/Kitchener area. So, since the standards my friend and I apply to the service and food industry are the same, I believe that the product TWB provides to its customers are of high standards. The brewery is small and very welcoming. We had the luck to meet with Shawn and Alex who introduced us to their product and the TWB phylosophy. They welcomed us with enthusiasm and promptly engaged in a conversation. You could tell they did not because they were trying to sell you something or because "we gotta do it because it's our job". They did it because that's what they like to do and because they believe in what they do. So, if you are in town, please, go and pay them a visit. It's worth your time. You might leave Kitchener with a couple of more friends on your address book. :) See you again soon.

This is probably one of the weirdest places I've ever eaten at. The building is odd as it has two…read morerestaurants housed in one restaurant- very odd. What made it more odd is that half is an Indian food restaurant and the other half seems to be what is left from a country themed bar. This place thoroughly had me boggled in terms of its vibe. Fajitas, pastas, burgers and a selection of Indian foods. Had the samosas, they were good and freshly cooked. Fajitas (chicken)- lots of veggies, not much meat- no cheese- weird. Half rack ribs- came out piping hot and tender- not bad at all for the price and side of fresh grilled peppers was decent. Caesar- meh. Server and kitchen weren't really prepared for our group even though booked quite awhile ago- think there was only one chef and one server. Took 40 min to get food out, no drink refills offered. Waitress refused to change an order- though it was not sent to the kitchen yet. TBH I was worried that this place might give me food poisoning- it just has this weird ick feeling. I made it out fine- so did my family but some in our party didn't feel too great later- blue cheese dressing maybe be the culprit or the wings- but likely the dressing. Would not go back purely for the poor service and vibe. The food was okay, I've had worse but hard no on the ambiance.

The Three Idiots Bar and Lounge is a newly opened restaurant in a very spacious venue, which they…read moreshare with Paranthe's Indian Restaurant. It is in a conveiniet location just off Highway 8, making it a convenient stop if you are travelling. The space was formerly occupied by Milton's Restaurant, which closed after being boycotted by customers due to accommodating a service dog. Arriving for lunch, we were surprised to be the only customers in the large space. Apparently, business has yet to pick up following the demise of Milton's The friendly staff greeted us with smiles and took our order right away. The drinks arrived promptly. The Mango Lassi-Style shake was refreshing, nicely displayed, and had a vibrant Mango taste The Special Dessert Shake was outatanding: thick, sweet but not cloying; and topped with Pistachios. The shake had a delicate pistachio flavour and hints of vailla. The club sandwich was tasty, nicely seasoned and substabtial; no paper thing deli sliced chicken here, but rather a large, juicy chicken breast. While somewhat untraditional, my husband pronounced it delicious and flavorful. My daughter and I opted to share a pepperoni pizza, and it was terrific! Perfect balance of sauce and toppings: molter, stretchy cheese, and a beautiful crust thet was simultaneously crisp, airy and very flavorful. I am extremely picky about pizza crust, finding the vast majority of crusts to be a bland, flavorless staging area for toppings. The pepperoni also stood out. None of those greasy slices which lie on your pizza like flattened, somewhat edible poker chips. Rather, these slices curled up to form little cup like rounds, with a nice porky flavor and delicately crisp edges. When we complimented on the food, the attentive waitstaff summoned the chef to come out to meet us, I was thrilled to talk about crust, food and the restaurant with him. I really hope that this restaurant does well. I did not review the decor (my main thing is the food), but the decor is dated. Something as simple as a new paint job would make the space feel airy and envigorated, and signal new management and a break from the past. The Three Idiots deserves to succeed. If you are in Kitchener, or on your way to another destination, give the Three.Idiots a try.

I was a regular at Block 3 when I lived in Waterloo. Well, if I'm honest, I was there all the time…read moreand they should have charged me rent. You might think beer was my primary motivation, and in the beginning it was. Block 3 is a small batch craft brewery that delivers on tasty beer. They generally have ten to twelve beers on tap ranging from lagers, ales, sours and sometimes a stout. They are all delicious in their own right although drinking barrel aged fruited sours is an acquired taste in my book, but trust me try them and you may learn to love them. But why else should you go? There is limited food (it's a brewery not a restaurant), no TV's to watch the game, a steady stream of classic rock playing in the background, kids running around and a few dogs to greet you on the way in. To make matters worse the cell reception is awful, my wife always had a hard time reaching me. Hmm, maybe that's not all bad... What kind of place is this, anyway? It's a modern twist on an old fashioned FAMILY oriented brewery, that's what! There are plenty of board games to play, the local regulars are always happy to share some stories, and the staff are the coolest people around. They have a great Mug Club and if you are lucky you get your own hand-thrown pottery mug with your name on it! Very cool... As I mentioned in one of my check-ins, Block 3 is a benchmark craft brewery experience. I can't recommend this place highly enough,
