Ethel's Lounge

Ethel's Lounge Ethel's. No Live Entertainment. One TV... Well ok, 3 TVs and a Big Screen. Ethel was a loan shark's mistress from Detroit in the 60's.
(802)

After dumping him for a better man, she relocated to the current address in Waterloo in 1994. Her son's Big Dan, Broke Back Brow, Kypp and Vinay now work alongside their cute cousins from the North, Shannon, Stacey, Jessica and the Condor. She brought along her own world famous cooking crew to recreate those famous recipies from the South. Crew Queen Daniel, her guitar playing sidekick Gardener, F

ix the Sink Finch, Tuesday Taco Paco, Thrash the Slash Sarah, make it all happen. Your host, Glenn will always be happy to sit at the end of the bar and swap lies with you. Because of our roots in Detroit we've recreated some of Ethel's favorite southern cooking such as smoked BBQ ribs with homemade beans, pulled pork sandwiches, rajah, meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes and homemade desserts. Drop in anytime and plunk yourself down at a kitchen table and let it happen.

🍸 After 19 incredible years at Ethel’s, it’s time to say farewell to Darcy! 

Darcy’s final shift at Ethel’s has arrived, and we’d love for everyone to stop by and help us send him off in style.

Over the years, many of you have watched Darcy grow through the ranks — starting in the kitchen as a cook, moving up to bar runner, and eventually becoming one of the familiar faces behind the bar. Nineteen years of hard work, laughs, friendships, and memories.

Now it’s time for his next chapter as he heads to Hamilton to open his very own cocktail bar 🍹

Please join us in wishing Darcy all the success in the world and come by to share a story, a laugh, and a farewell drink.

Good luck, Darcy — you’ll always be part of the Ethel’s family ❤️

Let’s all cheers Madi as she is working her last shift at Ethel’s today!
Madi has been a beautiful part of our family for 3.5 years and we wish her the best of luck as she is headed home to Kingston to pursue more school.
