You come for the atmosphere and not the food, although the food is decent by pub standards. Gets pretty jammed on the weekends. Good mix of booths and tables. Usually some live music happening. Had a traditional pub vibe. Staff is accommodating and friendly. They also do breakfast on the weekends. Parking lot patio area.

"fantastic music venue, great vibe, great food, top service"

The Duke is one of my two favourite places in Waterloo, Duke's, and Angie's diner next door. I went to both of them every day for the six days that I was in town. You need go no further! Angie's for brunch and Duke's at night for dinner and drinks and truly fantastic live music.

The vibe at Duke's was great and people were friendly... more

nice lunch

We had the fritters with cheese and bacon, delicious but a lot of food for an appetizer. The curried chicken was very good as always. A little too dark inside on a sunny afternoon, we couldn't read the menu but moved to the sun room and it was lovely and bright. The waitress was excellent. I'll definitely go back.
