Great choice of food and cocktails served. Little pub down the uptown area. Cauliflower wings are best. Read so many reviews about tacos. Ordered sam adam cod and jerk tofu both were super tasty. Service is quick and servers are very welcoming and friendly. Would say 10/10 for everything.

Amazing food. Upscale pub style; the cauliflower “wings” were so delicious. Everyone at the table raved about them. The duck spring rolls were delicious. The pork belly and fish tacos were also excellent. Great drinks, great service.

Went with some friends and I've got to say it's a solid restaurant/pub. The food was tasty, priced fairly, and pretty fast service. I got the tandoori chicken bowl, while my friends got the pork and olive dip. The olive dip and chicken bowl were amazing and really tasty. I didn't have the pork belly myself but was told it was really dry, so maybe avoid that option. As for drinks they're on the pricey side so do be aware of that. It's a great location in the downtown area and a lot to do after. I definitely recommend this spot!

Cool little bar tucked away on king st Waterloo. Known for their tandoori chicken bites and tacos… never disappoint! House Cocktails well balanced and deserve a taste.

With a lot of bars and pubs across King, The White Rabbit stands out as one of the few who take care in their craft. The drinks that are made here are well done, even accommodating for those with restrictions. Classic and fun drinks at a reasonable price. The food is also quite good, even the salad is pretty well put together. It’s a little cramped on the inside however, so be wary when bringing a party. Overall it’s a nice stop on your Friday night party schedule, but maybe too loud for something more intimate.

Great cocktail choices and food! Would definitely love to come back for either :) There are more areas to sit in than it seems like there is. Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations from the staff! They're super friendly and I got to try a drink that was pretty good. The food's a bit on the pricier side but still pretty good.

I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews. Unfortunately, the dish I ordered was awful. My friend and I shared the wonton nachos which were great, but I ordered the salmon quinoa bowl as my main. Bad idea....it had hot quinoa with chopped cucumbers and tomatoes on top - which were hot because of the quinoa. I could even handle that, but the pan fried salmon was maybe steamed? And it smelled so fishy that my friend could smell it across the table. I really tried to find a way to eat it, but honestly after a couple of bites my stomach was turning sue to the bad fishy smell and the bad taste. It was so bad, the worst meal Ive been served in a very long time and I eat out frequently. Server was great and removed the order from my bill, and offered to get me something else which I declined. Word of caution, dont order the salmon bowl!

I dont get it. Folks we know loved it. Us, not so much. The jerk chicken appetizer was absolutely NOT prepared fresh. The chicken tasted like it was cooked two days prior and was nuked for 30 seconds. And, no jerk sauce of any kind. Jerk chicken is supposed to be saucy! My smoked brisket sandwich was better. My wifes butter chicken bowl was saucy, but had no naan or other bread for sopping it all up, which is quite customary. The atmosphere isnt as nice as they think it is. The bar is cool looking, sure, but the chairs are tired, and the floors were dirty. Like, needing a basic sweeping. Thats unacceptable. The bartender was our server and it always seemed like we were an inconvenience. This is a hard pass for a future visit.

I will never not be impressed with the wall of top shelf alcohol they have behind the bar. My jaw hit the floor the first time I saw it and I tell ya, it still does everytime I walk through the door. A very quaint atmosphere to grab a drink where you can sit down and actually enjoy a good conversation. Always a pleasure White Rabbit, until next time!!! Kid-friendliness: No kids

The ambiance in the restaurant is amazing for a night out, and their cocktails are amazing too. Used to love their Jerk Tofu Tacos and Cauliflower Wings, but they changed the menu and the new Cauliflower Tacos aren t as great. As a vegetarian, it kind of makes the items I can get too Cauliflower heavy, which limits the variety as well. I ll still be going there because the food, ambiance, and service is awesome but it has become less frequent because of the new menu limitations.

I can t even speak on the quality of drinks or food, I walked inside and the bartender has such a rude snotty tone that I walked out 30 seconds later before I even sat down. Never coming back and I would not recommend to anybody. Not sure what his name was but hiring someone like that for a customer facing role seems like a very poor business decision

The pork belly nachos were the tastiest thing I ve had in a long time. I loved the low light moody atmosphere and the stirring sounds of people coming together sharing cocktails and appetizers.

Food was a little salty (had the max and cheese bolognese). It was more of just macaroni in bolognese rather than a Mac and cheese but it was alright. Really salty though. Drinks were amazing and I m really glad I had a whiskey sour with egg white - my bartender was amazing and I m very happy with her recommendations!

Meg I believe is the bartender, shes absolutely lovely. We went for live music and pints. Mike Todd did not disappoint. Beers and tiny drinks (shots) served were flawless and lots to choose from. Great wee pub in uptown Waterloo. We will be back. Did not eat while we were there this time.

February 23, 2024

First let me start off by saying the alcohol selection is amazing, but the food is horrible. We got the supreme fries, garlic bread, nachos + wings , meat supreme pizza, and jerk chicken tacos and pork belly tacos. There is not a single thing that I genuinely enjoyed except my drink. Also the pork belly tacos and pizza are the worst things I have ever eaten at a restaurant. Frozen pizza from the grocery store is better than what I got. I am genuinely disappointed and I think this is one of the worst menus ever. The owner responded to this review by saying we don t sell any of these food items. It s clear that not only the menu sucks but the owners have no idea what they even sell here. A quick look at the pictures attached to this restaurant show majority of the items listed in my review. This isn t a troll review. This place is horrible unless all you want is a drink.

Just had dinner at the White Rabbit with my wife to celebrate our 39th anniversary. What a great place. Food was fantastic: Fish Tacos and Pork Belly Tacos with Caesar salad. Drinks are very reasonably priced and nice size. The music is fantastic if youre a fan of the 70s to early 2000 which we are. Classic rock. First time at the restaurant but defiantly will not be our last. Parking: very easy to find parking

They said they were full but there were multiple tables open so we sat at the bar and asked to be moved one one opened up. 3 groups got sat before us. We asked 3x to move to an open booth that was vacant for over a hr. Bar staff didnt get us more drinks or even offer. We ended up going online to book a table/booth and went up to the hostess to ask us to seat us since we had a confirmed table. Not sure how that made any sense. This happened to a group of 3 girls as well. They ended up going online to book a table vs being crowded around a small table

Food: Simply delicious. Creative, unique items with a lot of flavour, taste and a great presentation. I really enjoyed the tacos and accompanying items. Drinks: All around solid. A great variety and something for everyone, which I was a huge fan of. I had the Black Sabaath, which I thought was delicious. Not too sweet, and strong enough to make me feel something. Atmosphere: Solid location in uptown Waterloo with a big garage door out front for a great summer view. 3 minute walk from the Uptown Waterloo mall parking.

I have always had a great experience here, but the last time I visited wasnt great. We went with a larger group for food and drinks to celebrate a couple of birthdays. Our waitress seemed annoyed that we had a larger group and was a little bit rude. After our initial food and drink order, it was a struggle to get additional drink orders in on a reasonable basis and again the waitress seemed annoyed when we would wave her down. They did allow us to bring a birthday cake in and provided plates and utensils which was great. Upon asking for the bills, we were told they couldnt bring our bills until they cleared the table (which we found odd).

Ordered the Black Sabbath cocktail and the surf and turf dinner. The berry cocktail was amazing. The food was also very good. Music was perfect - I was alone and working so the volume was great. Staff was friendly and prompt. The reason it didn t get 5 stars was the sauce on the meat was waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too salty. First few bites was great but by the end of the meal the salt was kinda gross. Of course I ate it anyway because the meat itself was cooked to perfection. I would return but ask for that sauce in the side.

I arrived for dinner on Saturday @ 7pm. There was only two tables occupied in the front of the premises. The hostess seated us beside another table at the back of the premises. I asked to be seated at one of the table at the front of the premises. I was told the seats were reserved, however, she did move us up one table closer. We ordered and enjoyed our food. We left 90 minutes later. Of the five vacant tables at the front, only one had been occupied from the time we arrived. We are a well dressed 60 something couple and we fell totally depreciated by this shabby treatment.

The service was great and the server was friendly. Good ambiance and variety of table options (high tables, booths). As for the food, it was pricey at about $20 for 7 wings. The maple BBQ flavour was okay but the smokey favour was very reminiscent of ham haha. I wouldve liked the wings to be more tender as well, ate dry. The five tacos were more fair of a price. The cod was crispy but overall not outstanding. I would have liked the tortillas to be warmed, the chips were tasty. Dont regret going, but probably wouldnt go again.

If you are looking for a hip place in uptown Waterloo with a young beaty loud club vibe, then this might be for you. This is the kind where you can imagine college kids to drink until they drop or puke outside after. Wooden benches, the kind youd find in an English tavern, a guy that checks your id on entering, the rest is loud music and noise with a chaotic feel. Cant expect much of a service given the chaos. Total club like. However, theres also another side of the restaurant which is more classier but also smaller. Food options are limited but good enough for a gathering to munch over a meet. If you are going there for the food, dont. This is a get together over a meal, have fun place. I ordered Tacos and they were certainly good, the salsa which cane with the chips, not so much. Regardless of your preference, this place fills up really fast to find yourself any space.

DELICIOUS cocktails. Service was slow to come back to the table (for orders, the bill, etc) but started strong (really prompt food/drink order went in). Wed have stayed much longer, but the DJ cranked the music up around 8:30pm and we were shouting to be heard. In the end, the music was cranked up twice more before 930pm we were losing our voices and our ears hurt so we left after one appetizer and a couple of drinks. Id have loved to stay longer. I get loud music at a bar, but should I need earplugs at 830pm on a Thursday? We just couldnt stay in the room. Great place to have a drink and some delicious food. If the DJ is in the house, be prepared for really loud music. Parking: Theres very little parking in this area. Park up the road and walk in. Kid-friendliness: Not a kid-friendly place. Kids can not be around this level of noise. Wheelchair accessibility: Not at all accessible. Its up some stairs.

Beautiful place, the restaurant has two parts, one is a sports bar feel and the other is a classy dining. They told us the food is a little different between the two. Overall experience was good, the music was a little to loud for my taste, a little hard to talk and hear. The serves was good, there seems to be two staff one at the bar and one serving the tables, so it can be busy at time and hard to get hold of the server. The food was good, the charcuterie board was surprisingly very good. The tacos was also good, I tried 3 different types, some were a little dry. Overall good experience would go back and would recommend.

Every Thursday my friends and I pick a new place to eat in KW...my turn, and I picked the White Rabbit. This was a gastro adventure with a very interesting and creative menu (new one coming next week...can hardly wait!) Michael was our guide for drinks and eats...he chose an IPA beer from the Town Brewery in Whitby called Square Wheels...a little hops forward, nice citrus and pineapple with no after taste and went really well with the smoked wings with mango haraicha sauce (really spicy!!!!) They smoke the wings in their own smoker after a brine bath...if you like Smoky, youll love these wings...Korean chicken was delish, as were the fish tacos. The playlist was 70s,80s and we loved it. Michael was attentive, friendly and we wanted for nothing! A true professional! Thanks to you and chef for making the evening a memorable one!...we have decided The White Rabbit is in our top five for fav restaurants. Well be back to try the new menu!!! Vegetarian options: Lots!!!

Racism in security procedures!! They don t know how to check id! I went with two of my friends there today and one of them just came to canada so she didn t have anything but just a passport which I think is valid id. They failed to ask ids before we order our drinks!! Funny thing is that security did not asked for any ids to any one at 1st! We ordered our beers and finished almost half and then he realise those brown skin humans needs ids!!! And he asked for one. Ovio we had ours we showed him our G licenses he was happy seeing Canadian ids. But not an Indian passport he was like finish ur food and go i don t think this is ur passport! I think he was drunk himself!!!! Anyways we did finished our drink but no tip for them!! I don t think they deserve completely ruined our weekend!!!! I would avoid such racism!

Been to White Rabbit many many times. Love the vibe. Drinks are great. And in general, food is most often quite good - really good for a bar. My most recent visit Michael served us and he was GREAT! The right blend of sass and service that is perfect (imo in this type of environment). Mussels were great but the garlic bread that came with them was amazing. Can t believe I m raving about it because it s usually not my thing, but this stuff is perfect with the curry sauce. You know I ll be back again :)

Mainly there for the cocktails. Good job on some classic cocktails. However, when I was exploring more rabbit special cocktails, the quality of the drink was unbearably horrible. The Rabbit Sour tastes like rotten tomatoes. My friend ordered tacos, not good. She couldnt finish it after a few bites. The service is overall good. Atmosphere: I love their display of alcohol bottles. I love the mirror installed on one side of the hallway that makes the place looks more spacy and fancy. I love the little candle in a fancy glass. The furnitures feel cheap and painted poorly. The noise is too overwhelming.

Chill place to go out with your closed ones, they have a live band too on weekends and ask for Andrew he is one of the best server with lots of good recommendation about their craft beers, just food can be little bit better.

Free municipal parking is plentiful, free for 2 hours and free after 5pm and has a lot close by. I would definitely recommend making reservations or if youre early as we were, get in at 5pm when they open, eat and leave. It appears there is no wheelchair accessibility as the front entrance has stairs only. There is no patio. The inside of the restaurant and washrooms were clean. I was surprised to see how small and cozy the inside of the restaurant was; it was very well decorated and has large garage type doors that opens facing King St. The music is fairly loud making conversation difficult at times. Its good rock music but could be a bit lower. This is a great place to gather with friends to enjoy a large variety of drinks and typical bar, fried food with some vegetarian options. This restaurant has no in-hand menus, rather you must scan a QR code at your table and view the menu this way. Appetizers: ARUGULA & ARTICHOKE DIP absolutely delicious!! I would definitely recommend it! CAULIFLOWER WINGS with Big Stooleys Mango Habanero sauce I would definitely NOT recommend because it was dripping in grease. We have this food in a lot of restaurants but this one, it appears the cook did not let the grease drip out before plating it. The sauce was very good; if you like very hot sauces you wont be disappointed with it. Entrees: RABBIT POWER BOWL is something I ordered because it was vegetarian and not fried but had zero dressing taste; I dont know if it was forgotten or was just flavourless, either way I enjoyed it just the same because of the fresh vegetables. JERK TOFU TACOS, was good. The tofu should be marinated in the jerk sauce as it was bland. The TACOS were flavorful due to the fresh veggies and cilantro. Anything that was fried was quite dark so it was either over cooked or the oil is too old and is need of a change. JERK CHICKEN TACOS, was very well seasoned and tasty. French Fries were crispy and well done. Its important to note that the kitchen services both the White Rabbit and the adjacent/sister restaurant, the Hop House. Our server was fantastic; friendly and attentive (we were the only people inside at the time but was quite full and busy by the time we left). So the real question is, would we return? Im happy we tried it out but being a vegetarian I dont think I would return mainly because there are very little healthy dishes here. It would be great to see a restaurant develop some different vegetarian/vegan options that are unique and have different flavor profiles. This is typical fried pub food, with a very impressive alcohol menu. Vegetarian options: There are some but only one is a healthy option, the rest is fried food. Parking: Municipal parking only. Wheelchair accessibility: No access because the front has stairs

It has limited floor space, I could touch the people at the next table. The decorating is dark. The music is loud, perhaps this is how they maintain privacy between tables. The portion size for appetizers is small. Vegetarian options: limited selection of vegetarian food. Dietary restrictions: Very limited menu Parking: Only City street parking and City street parking has been nullified by bike lanes and ION. Kid-friendliness: Not suitable for family dining Wheelchair accessibility: Several steps at the front entrance. Its not clear how this entry complied with the Ontario Building Code barrier-free access requirements.
