About Uptown Waterloo

Uptown Waterloo is a vibrant hospitality and arts complex in the heart of Waterloo, Ontario. It blends intimate live music, classic cinema, dining, and neighborhood charm. The Jazz Room, located on the main floor of the Huether Hotel at 59 King Street North, offers intimate performances for up to 120 guests and is a cornerstone of the Grand River Jazz Society. The Uptown area also features historic Princess Twin Cinemas nearby, preserving the cinema heritage of Uptown while expanding with modern screenings and community events.

Whether you’re catching a Friday or Saturday night show at The Jazz Room, planning a cinema night at Princess Twin Cinemas, or enjoying a meal before/after an event, Uptown Waterloo provides a walkable, easy-to-navigate experience with plenty of parking and transit options.

Plan ahead with parking options in Uptown Waterloo, including municipal lots and the Uptown Parkade. For transit, Grand River Transit’s ION light rail (Route 301) connects Conestoga Station in Waterloo to Kitchener, making it simple to reach Uptown venues. When you’re ready to book, we’ve got you covered with easy, straightforward ticket access for live shows at The Jazz Room and screenings at nearby cinema venues. If you’re visiting from out of town, consider nearby hotels like Huether Hotel, which offers on-site dining and event space, or recommended partner stays and dining options to complement your Uptown Waterloo experience.

Pro tip: secure your seats for The Jazz Room early, as intimate performances sell out quickly. And if you’re planning a multi-day visit around the Sun Life Uptown Waterloo Jazz Festival or other events, treat each date as its own experience and check the venue details for current information.
