NO Upcoming Events
The Rendezvous has always been more than just a bar or theater. Over its 98-year history, it has been a gathering place, a home, and a stage for Seattle creatives. Effective August 11, The Rendezvous is under new ownership and all events have been cancelled.
We are unable to remain open because we do not have proper permitting in place to allow us to operate legally. During this time, we also decided to do much needed restorations to improve the safety and operations of the building.
At this moment, we do not have a confirmed reopening date.We look forward to sharing our vision with you, and welcoming you back soon. Thank you for your patience and for holding this space in your hearts.
