Rendezvous Lounge

My absolute favorite place in the Springs for a relaxed evening with good company, great cigars and fantastic drinks! Try the Atheist!

Another one of my husband’s favorite places to go. even though its a cigar lounge the smell isnt too much (comming from a non smoker) great drinks and staff. The owner often makes sure to go and speak to everyone.

I absolutely love this place! It is a great spot to meet friends for drinks after work or enjoy a nice martini and cigar after a long day! It can be as upscale as you like, however there are always people who are just there to hang out (I mean dress code) The bartenders are extremely good at recommending and making their cocktails. I was never a big vodka drinker until the bartender, Patrick, offered some obscure bottle and it was so smooth and delicious. I have officially switched over and made this my goto bar in the Springs!

Rendezvous is another favorite bar of mine. I absolutely love the atmosphere and the fact that it is also a cigar bar.
My husband and I brought in 2015 while smoking our Blondie cigar with deliciously made White Russians. The waitstaff are extremely friendly. If you’re hoping to get a table I’d recommend you arrive before 9:30pm because it tends to get packed quickly.
Drinks are made by expert mixologists. They don’t «skimp» on the alcohol which is definitely nice, and the prices are spot on. Their cigar menu is quite substantial as well as their drink menu. If the drink you’re looking for isn’t on the menu the bartender will make it for you!
If you’re looking for a a good cigar and a nice drink to go with it then I highly recommend this establishment. My friends and I always start our night at Rendezvous and sometimes it ends up being our only stop because we’re having so much fun!

What a beautiful lounge! Exquisitely designed, this lounge offers it ALL; a trendy setting, comfortable seating, stylish architecture, and witty and sophisticated staff. Rasa has hit a HOME RUN wit this place! I would recommend Rendezvous to anyone interested in the best vodka preparation and accompanying cigars anywhere on the Front Range. Well done! Can’t wait to go back… maybe tonight :)

Came here for a friend’s birthday and had a blast.
Drinks: Great. I had the Moscow mule which they actually serve in a copper cup. Mine (and all my friends’) drinks were all pretty potent, and we never saw the bottom of a glass for long.
Ambiance: It was a large group, and we all crammed in. It was a Friday night, so things were busy. It was dark, but from what I could tell everything was nice.
Prices: Can’t remember. Wasn’t paying. Sorry.
Overall, a nice joint. I’d go back.

Wish I could give them no stars.
The manager watched my husband and I come into the bar, order a drink and a cigar and then asked us to leave. When we asked why, he pointed at my husband’s clothing and said, «We don’t do THIS here».
My husband was wearing multicam combat pants. We asked him what was wrong with the clothing, he said, «We don’t do the military thing here. We have a dress code.»
What town does this guy think he’s working in? How can he NOT cater to the military? Also, why did he wait until AFTER we had made a purchase to ask us to leave?
It was awful, embarrassing, and disrespectful. If you appreciate your freedom to wear what you want and if you honor your military, do NOT go to this bar.

Kind of stumbled upon this place… just vacationing here in Colorado from hawaii and needed a quick break.
Trip is a good guy… at least I think that’s what his name is haha. a pretty good selection of cigars but the bar far surpasses the cigars as far as selection of alcohol goes.
I like how we were able to smoke the cigars inside and enjoy a drink with It as the temperature outside was below 30… too cold for my tropical skin.
Wouldnt be the best place if smoke bothers you.

One of the few bars I’ve been in where you can still smoke inside. They have an AWESOME vodka selection and the bartenders don’t skimp on the mixed drinks.
Here’s the thing, I’m not a smoker… never have been. So the smoke can be a little tough for me to deal with sometimes (I’ve woken up with a sore throat from it before) but I think the atmosphere is worth it.
If you can help it, don’t volunteer to be the DD if you and your friends are going here. Having to miss out on the vodka selection kind of sucks.

I stepped into Rendezvous for the first time in about six years the other night. I used to frequent the place semi-​regularly, and used to enjoy the cool vibe and the hip, jazzy music.
Well the vibe and music are still there, but the place has since transformed into a cigar bar, which is ok for those that smoke cigars, but a turn – off for the rest of us.
The place really «reeks» of cigar smoke. When I got home, had send all my clothes, including an expensive coat out to the dry cleaners to rid everything of that terrible cigar odor.
The bartender was nice enough, but the drinks were a little on the pricey side.
The smoke is the reason I won’t return.

Again, went here for St. Patty’s Day. It was busy. I shouldn’t have been drinking martinis. The cigars were good and the selection is good. Maybe I’ll make it back when life is a bit more sane and I can enjoy it more.

When my friends told me we were going to a cigar and martini lounge I believe my reaction was «Meh» Even though I love the smell of cigars and have never met a martini I didn’t like, I’m not about the frou frou places.
Lucky for me, this place wasn’t frou frou yet it wasn’t a dive. I wasn’t expecting this kind of place in downtown CO Springs and the best I can describe it is trendy without being haughty. It’s not like the other places because people are actually wearing clothes and don’t look like rejects from the Jersey Shore. I guess one could say more refined from the college joints down the street. The fact that I could actually hear others around me was a bonus since I hate loud bars where I have to keep going «Huh??? Whatja say??»
As others have said, they have an amazing drink list and while I was feeling the $ 5 glasses of wine, my friends got a few of the martinis and they were all fabulous. The grape tasted exactly like grape kool aid and when I took a sip I knew I was right to order the red because I could’ve sat there and drank about six or seven of those bad boys! When I’m back in the Springs I’ll definitely be hitting up this place again.

I really like this place. There is a ton of variety in alcohol choices, plus they’re one of the few places in town that allow smoking while you drink. We’re not huge smokers, but it’s nice to be able to have a cigar or clove cigar while you’re having a drink. Staff was nice and treated us well.

A dark, trendy lounge with a spectacular drink menu that has the unfortunate saddle of playing too much European house (techno? trance? dubstep? I can’t tell the goddamn difference) music for my taste. Despite that hang-​up, I definitely go and keep going back.
The drinks are definitely my main draw; there is an extensive selection of different flavored mojitos served with raw sugar cane, and this is also one of the few local places I’ve found where I can get a decent caipirinha. For those who have never had it, they also do a good job of making a decent absinthe drink — pouring it over the sugar cube and lighting it on fire for you.
There also is, what I am told, a decent cigar selection. I don’t smoke, so it’s no draw to me, but several of my friends have remarked about how nice it is to be able to smoke them in the bar. This, of course, means that the bar can become pretty smoky some nights, and your hair and our clothes may end up smelling like booze and cigarettes. If smelling like my mother did when she tucked me in at night is no issue for you, then there is no reason that you shouldn’t come in here.

Came here for the very first time for boyfriend’s bday. He smokes cigar and I like to drink so it was the perfect place:) From what I remember, they have good drinks. and they have this $ 115 whiskey shot. I didn’t try it, but I still thought it was pretty cool that they have it. The bartenders were nice. and I liked the ambience

A smoking bar, as noted, it’s one of the few places a person can enjoy a cig or a cigar with a cocktail during the cold winter months, so yes, it’s going to be a little smokey.
That aside, the ambiance doesn’t really float my boat too much but the staff is great. I’m not a fan of the very Euro-​feel with all the metal décor, loud house music & brighter lighting (for a bar, anyway), but I still end up going there on the weekends.
It is one of the more pricey places to drink and, although I prefer 15C to this martini lounge, it works.

I wouldn’t bother coming to this place unless you are friendly with the staff.
The bar stools are nearly impossible to sit on. Your bar tab often includes drinks you didn’t order. You will choke on cigarette smoke. I’ve also heard from several people that they poor cheap vodka in the top shelf bottles. This could be a rumor though. I’m typically drunk when I end up there.
It’s not all bad though. The ladies bathroom has a poster of different way’s to use the f word.

FYI– You can smoke in this bar! Not a good reason to give it a bad review, but if it’s not your thing– leave but don’t hold it against them!
My in-​laws really like this place. I think it has nice character for being in the springs, and for being surrounded by Cowboys, Rum Bay, and all the other horrific places around, I’m glad there’s somewhere halfway decent. Even though it’s a vodka/​cigar bar, they have mojitos in pretty much every flavor as the «house» (ie cheapest) drink. They’re pretty good– come with nice pieces of sugar cane and are about $ 7 but pack a pretty nice punch without tasting like acetone.
I like their impressive vodka display and the Eastern-​European humor. They also have a nice top-​shelf selection. That being said, they have very little that’s affordable besides draft beer and aforementioned mojitos.
If, though, you’re a smoker, this is definitely a good place. I’m not but I’ve never found it annoying to be here with smoking around me. If smoking appeals to you, they are constantly running a «special» for a Romeo y Julieta cigar + mojito for $ 10 which is a good deal.

Ah, where to begin for a review of this place…
In the desert of Downtown Colorado Springs, where the majority of your choices for a night out include dance club/​meat markets packed with sweaty hoochies and sagging soldiers, or one of a million sports pubs, or the ever-​popular dive bar, the Rendezvous Lounge is a spectacularly well-​run, eye-​poppingly decorated chill-​out spot that serves as the future landmark oasis of the downtown drink scene.
First off, there’s the music. Electronic lounge and chilled house, things you might hear on Groove Salad, Soma FM, a Sven Van Hees album, or Thievery Corporation are the standards in here. The music builds the atmosphere from the ground up, and the construction and design inside, including huge martini-​shaped wall cutouts featuring choice bottles, help to advance the swanky feel.
Then, the drinks. The extensive menu will give you enough drink selections to keep you happy for years. Tons of specialized, custom drinks only available at Rendezvous, plus AMAZING mojitos and caipirinhas, and OH the vodka! The vodka, the vodka…
The staff is curt but courteous. All dressed in sleek black slacks, buttoned shirts or short skirts, both the male and female members are eye candy as well as being attentive. Besides boasting the largest selection of vodkas in Colorado (see the glass shelving in the back), they also provide a humidor with high-​end cigars for sale, as this is one of the only places in town you can still puff on a stogie indoors.
Finally, the furniture. Rather than the usual chairs and cocktail tables (though they do have those), Rendezvous offers a bunch of sleek, comfortable sofas, chaises and lounge chairs that can be freely moved around to create the perfect seating arrangement for any group.
If you live in Colorado Springs, you owe it to yourself to check this place out and make it one of your standard go-​to joints for a few drinks and some great conversation. If you go early, you’ll have the place to yourself. If you go late, it’s standing room only. Either way, Rendezvous delivers on its promise of providing «a brilliant reflection of elegance, in a contemporary lounge atmosphere.»
Open 7 days a week at 4 pm sharp /​closing around 2 am.

The Rendezvous Lounge is another bar along the bar strip, but is far enough North to avoid hell.
Like the V Bar, the Rendezvous Lounge is going for the upper-​scale, low-​lighting, hardcore tented windows, intrigue feel, which it does fairly well. What sets this place apart is its superior location, less people, and cheaper booze.
If the upper-​end lounge is the place to be, well then this one is the best I’ve been to in the Beach that fits.
