I've visited Rendezvous many times over the last 6 years including a week ago. I, along with…read morefriends, have always remarked that the staff is friendly (especially the young lady who has been there for six years, I believe), polite and knowledgeable. Their beer offerings are varied and quality (including the bottled root beer). Plus, the place (tables/restroom/glassware) is always clean. I'll be in the area again this fall and plan on visiting at least a few times. Give it a try!

Food took a little bit, so I wouldn't go here if I was hangry and they were busier. For drinks, we ordered the Loony Bavarian and loony Lavender Lemonade. Both were fantastic! Husband is a blue moon fan, and he said the Loony Bavarian was even better! Next time he's going to order a crawler of it to take home :). I love that they let you taste things for free- I tried their plain seltzer, to see if I might want to get it in the future, and it was great! For food, we got the pita and spinach/artichoke dip- very good! We also both got the roasted chicken with white sauce and it was amazing! Will definitely be back!

My first visit I tried a flight, including the intriguing PB & J Ale... that despite my skepticism, walked away the favorite.

All the beers were delicious but I returned later that night w a buddy for a pint of Lunch bucket PB & J Ale. Definitely don't pass up Roundhouse if you're in town or passing by, cheers.

Many of their beers were infused with different flavors and I truly loved each one. I had a blueberry lemon summer shandy and it was so refreshing! I love how strong the flavors pull through. You order up at the bar and they have a lot of seating to accommodate different group sizes which is great! They have a section of games as well and share a hallway with California burritos which I highly recommend ordering & enjoying with your beer! Be sure to stop in if you're going by!

The service was also super friendly. It's such a nice place to relax and hang out while we were waiting for our AirBnB to be ready and we would definitely stop again the next time we're in town!

The brewery has a large indoor and outdoor space, and we especially appreciated that it's dog friendly, so we were able to bring our pup inside with us. Outside, there was plenty of room for dogs to stretch their legs, along with lots of shaded tables to relax. Their beer menu was extensive--almost too many options to choose from! They definitely lean into unique flavors, with offerings like a pickle margarita beer and a mango wheat that made for a fun tasting experience. While none of the beers ended up being favorites for us, we still enjoyed the atmosphere.
