Nightlife Meet You at the Rendezvous!
posted by on October 12 at 17:40 PM
This is my last post for the day. Thank you very much to The Stranger and to the Slog community for letting me do this! It’s been great fun. Like a highly addictive drug, I’m already unsure how to give it up. Cold turkey seems so drastic. The comments section will have to serve as my methadone until I can walk away clean.
As I leave for happy hour, I want to raise a glass or six to the splendid Rendezvous Bar in Belltown. This place truly does shine through the ugliness of the Belltown bar scene, like a nugget of gold in a mountain of shit. Among its top virtues? It still only costs $75 bucks to rent the Jewelbox Theatre for a show. Seventy-Five bucks?!?!? That means if only 15 of your cheap friends buys a $5 ticket to see your punk band, you’ve paid yourself back for the space! If five more friends buy tickets, the whole band gets beer! That kicks ass.
Equally important, if not more so, the staff is the last remaining friendly bar staff in all of Belltown. They smile, they chat, they don’t give you a heard time about your haircut, and they remember what you drank last time. This is a class joint. Here’s long time bar babe, Babe.
Babe: I’m one of three staff who has been here for five years, ever since Steve and Rene bought the place. The others have been here four years, three-and-a-half, something like that. It says something great about a bar of all places that the staff doesn’t turn over.
I’ll say it does! Here’s to all you Sloggers, to Babe, and to the rest of the Rendezvous staff. See you soon! Whiskey soda! (…but you already knew that.)
I Love Babe!
Great Job on Freaky Friday!
Way to go.
GD:
Good work all day. A pleasure to read ya, hence no negative, or even just snarky, comments from this occasional/nepotistic slogger. Rock and roll.
Bill
Yay for Babe!
I love Babe! I don't know if I would have recognized him from that pic, though.
I'm very sure I didn't pick my nose or pick a chunk out of the corner of my eye, but Babe gave me a case of the wobblitis last time I sat at that bar then stood up.
There's room for a lot of different kinds of bars in Bell Town. You don't have to denigrate all others just because you have a favorite. Be happy you have a favorite, be happy you have a choice. Being a Seattle hipster is a choice, it doesn't mean you're better.
That said, I love the Rendevous as well, and have even rented the Jewel Box theater on various occasions. :-)
Babe of Belltown is one of the best things to ever hit Belltown. Not only is he very funny, witty & charming, he's really handsome. We love Babe of Belltown!!! After the Crocodile(it's never been the same since he left) I thought he had moved to New York, only to stumble upon him at the Rendezvous. What a gleeful suprise,One of the nicest bartenders in Seattle, at one of the best venues in Seattle. Double plus good! See you at the Vous Babe, Have our Ginger not Marys ready!
VIVA La BABE of BROOKLYN (BELLTOWN)!!! Miss you, hope to see you soon.
