The Drink Uptown

The best place ever! The music lights vibe everything is so good! Bartenders and security are excellent at their jobs! Not a conjusted night clubs like the others really loved it

I don’t know why people are not reviewing this place. This club is the best club in KWC region. The vibe of this place is great, music is also good and mainly the people are also nice. If you are going to this place, please bring some female friends along with you. Because you will not have to wait for long time a long queue. The staff is also good at this place, but the only problem was dancing floor, it was sticky.

Had the best time celebrating my birthday at the Drink Uptown!! The Drink is definitely the club to celebrate your birthday and to be at this summer! The staff is amazing and will do their best to make your night very special. 10\10, highly recommend coming here to celebrate your special occasions or just to have a great night with your friends.

The most Racist Security Guards. We saw the guard letting in about 40 people in, right in front of us while all my brown friends and various other brown guys “only” were standing in line for more than 2 hours. When we voiced out, the security guard said the people are on the guest list, when we saw him calling out those people letting them know that he can get them in if they want. I have been here 8 years and have felt bad for being brown. This is unacceptable behaviour and something people need to raise their voice against. I wont say if you are brown don’t bother go here, but I would request club owners to look into this matter as racial discrimination is highly unacceptable and everyone has the right to enter a bar despite their race. There should be one line for all and the guard should have no right decide who gets in based in their colour. Its outrageous seeing people of colour suffer especially by people of colour.

Cheap shots, bottles, and booths! Great servers who are nice. Get to know the promoters and you’ll be able to get inside for free. Always a packed dance floor, if you like to get hot and sweaty this is perfect. Good male to female ratio usually.

This place is racist towards Indian people. There was a group of about 8 indian guys in front of us in line and they let me and my friends skip the line. When we left about 2 hours later those same guys were still in the front of the line. I honestly couldn’t believe seeing such blatant discrimination like this in person

Great night club and place to hang out with friends and family and awesome music and events that happen alot. Great Business and bar and awesome customer service bartenders. And great environment and enjoyable events. Overall a amazing place to be and to have a blast at. Keep up the amazing work guys

Security was insanely nice and detail oriented. Literally watched me drop my ID in the middle of the bar and handed it to me. BEST BAR IN WATERLOO SO MUCH FUN!!!! Every employee deserves a raise.

Security needs to be changed. They give recist vibes and don’t even talk respectfully. Worst place to spend night.

Title: A Disastrous Experience at thedrinkuptown: Aggressive Security Crosses the LineReview:Consider this review as a cautionary tale to potential visitors who value their well-being and seek a genuinely enjoyable clubbing experience. Choose venues that prioritize customer safety and foster an inclusive atmosphere rather than subjecting their guests to the distress caused by unchecked aggression and violence.My recent visit this club left me appalled and deeply disappointed. What was supposed to be a night of entertainment and enjoyment quickly turned into a terrifying ordeal due to the club's highly aggressive security staff. Their unwarranted assaults on innocent patrons were not only unjustifiable but also indicative of a complete disregard for the safety and well-being of their customers.From the moment I stepped foot inside the club, I could sense an uncomfortable tension in the air. The security personnel seemed more interested in asserting their authority than ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. It was truly disheartening to witness their complete lack of professionalism.As the night progressed, chaos ensued. Instead of calmly defusing the situation, the security staff unleashed an alarming level of aggression, resorting to physical violence without any justification. I witnessed multiple instances where innocent partygoers were subjected to unwarranted force, leaving them shocked and traumatized. Men and women were treated in ways that is truly disheartening.What made matters worse was the club's management's passive response to these incidents. It was as if they condoned the behavior of their security staff, turning a blind eye to the distress caused to their patrons. The fact that such behaviour was allowed to persist throughout the night speaks volumes about the lack of accountability within the establishment.Safety should be paramount in any venue, especially one that caters to late-night crowds. However, at theuptowndrink, it felt like stepping into a lawless environment where the patrons' security was secondary to the whims of the security personnel. It is both disconcerting and unacceptable for a club to employ individuals who seemingly derive pleasure from inflicting harm on unsuspecting guests.In light of my experience, I strongly advise against visiting theuptowndrink until they address the issue of their aggressive security staff. It is regrettable to witness a club in a student town tarnish its reputation through such abhorrent behaviour. As patrons, we deserve better—safety, respect, and an enjoyable experience should be the bare minimum expectations. Unfortunately, theuptowndrink failed to meet any of these criteria, leaving behind a lasting negative impression that will deter me from ever returning.Be careful and stay safe!
