Description

After opening as a screening room in 1924, the Rendezvous slowly morphed from speakeasy to porn theater to what one regular describes as a haven for "career drunks." A red-velvet-accented dining room turns out hearty hot plates and the tiny Jewel Box bustles weekly with entertainment from movies to live rock shows, cabaret, and performance art. Cocktails are practically flammable (Mixers? What mixers?). The chicken chimichangas are good, the macaroni and cheese's creamy sauce and onion-straw topping make it a good choice for noshing, and the fish and chips (beer-battered halibut fillets) resemble what you'd find throughout Britain.
