The Jazz Room — Restaurant in Waterloo

TLDR: If you watching A KW comedy show, AVOID this venue!!

The venue manager not only do they pack you in like sardines, but they also have seating that is facing the total opposite direction to the stage. Plus the layout means can't leave their chair, and a lot of people didn't go to the bathroom during the full 2 hours comedy show. While drinking alcohol!!... I was one of the people asked to seat in a backwards-facing chair. I proceeded to compile to a waitress who didn't offer any help and then the organisation. I was told they don't do refunds (I ask before the show started) and was told several terrible options for me to sit/stand instead. So my options where to sit in a dangerous/uncomfortable way or leave without getting my money.. In the end I choose dangerous (im sure the local fire marshal would have not liked this), I move my chair into the walkway between the seating so I could have some legroom for my partner and me... Then spent two hours laughing at the great comedy while having the two waitresses try and slip past me carrying trays of food and drink. (Sorry ladies, I was told to block the walkway)... I'm been to the other venues and have plenty of space and had a very fun time... Really think they should reduce capacity, or just not show KW...

One of the oldest hotels in downtown Waterloo. The Adley Family has lovely cared for and refurbished this old beauty for years. Use to hang out here during my University day, now 30 yrs later, still enjoying this place!!!! There are like 6-7 unique multiple areas to hang out... Jazz, coffee house, pool & pineball game area, fine dining, and a rooftop patio in summertime. We enjoyed a great jazz group last nite, (Harley Card, jazz acoustic guitar), went in early to have dinner which was quite good, reasonable and lots of healthy choices plus standard pub fair!! Alicja, our waitress was simply endearing, attentive and provided good service all night! Great Fun Night 👍🏻 !!!!! Jazz is every Friday & Saturday, usually...

The best place in KWC area for live music, happening and vintage vibe. The music is too diverse, great and many artists are invited from all over the world.

Liesurely, laid back, with a bar, cafetaria, billiards, and live music at the same time. Cleanliness is really appreciated though it gets a lot busy sometimes.

It is recommended as one of the best live music jazz rooms by many of great artists that arrive here. Highly recommended for all those who enjoy live music.

Accomodating staff, friendly people, great connections from all paths of life, etc. Various events are organized here for newbies and...
