E WATERLOO (519) 725-5252 A new restaurant and sports bar is sprouting this spring at the southwest cor- ner of Northfield Drive East and Bridge Street West in Waterloo. JUST THE FACTS The lettering for Browns Socialhouse is up and so are about a dozen overhead heat- ers on a large, outdoor patio facing street- side. The Browns Restaurant Group is a Ca- nadian-based franchisor with more than 75 restaurant locations in operation, most of them in western Canada. Brands in- clude Browns Socialhouse, Browns Crafthouse, Liberty Kitchen and Scotty Browns USA. "The past year has been difficult beyond any historical comparison, and the contin- ually changing safety landscape has been challenging, to put it mildly. But we are looking ahead with optimism," the website states. The new eatery sits adjacent to the new Blackstone condominium development.
