Barrels & Bites: An Uptown Waterloo Whisky Walk

The City of Waterloo Museum, in partnership with the Uptown Waterloo BIA, invites the public to experience Barrels & Bites: An Uptown Waterloo Whisky Walk, a specially designed evening that blends whisky tastings, culinary pairings, live music, and local history in the heart of Uptown Waterloo.

This curated walking experience will guide participants on foot through a selection of Uptown restaurants—including Sole, Bodega Rose, Huether Hotel, and LaLa Social House—where guests will enjoy thoughtfully paired whisky tastings and bites crafted by local chefs and mixologists.

Participants will stroll between venues, taking in the sights and energy of Uptown Waterloo while sampling premium whiskies and culinary creations.

Leading guests through the complex and nuanced world of whisky is whisky sommelier Gary Bernier, who will share insights into flavour profiles, production techniques, and the stories behind the spirits.

Must be 19 + to participate.

The event will take place on the evening of April 14, 2026, with two tour times available:

6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.
