The Rendezvous
RENDEZVOUS IS NOW CLOSED. See comment below.
Formerly The Torch Lounge, The Rendezvous is a gentlemans club in downtown Coeur d'Alene.
This club is for ages 21 and older and features one of the largest selections of alcohol in Coeur d'Alene. The bar staff is top-notch, although the wait staff and bikini dancers can be less-so with a high turnover rate and periodic lack of professionalism.
Come armed with money, because this place takes a lot of it. There is a five dollar cover for entrance to the club--for everone, including women. Drink prices are comparable to the rest of the bars in downtown Coeur d'Alene, and they have nightly drink specials. Wednesday night is the Rendzevous keg night, offering $10 all-you-can-drink domestics or $15 for specialty/imports. This is on top of cover charge and the special ends at midnight. So if you think you can drink more than $15-$20 of beer before midnight, you should definitely consider getting a wristband for it.
At one time, this bar made it into the top five bars in Idaho for alcohol purchases. That may not be the case anymore. Last time I was in Rendzevous was a Saturday night at about 10:00pm, and a generous estimate would be a dozen patrons inside. I saw a number of large groups make it to the entrance, learn that there was a $5 cover for everyone, and choose to go to another bar. It's definitely not as popular as it used to be.
Features include pool tables, a small public dance floor, DJ music, and bikini dancers.
Smoking is allowed at Rendezvous--much to the delight of smokers, and the chagrin of some non-smokers. It is one of two Coeur d'Alene bars I'm aware of that still allow smoking inside their establishment.
Rendezvous is located at the corner of 3rd and Coeur d'Alene Ave. (216 E. Coeur d'Alene Ave)
Keep in mind, Coeur d'Alene police are out in force in the evenings, especially during the summer. Remember to drink in moderation and never drink and drive.

Rendezvous is Closed
The Rendezvous closed in February 2013, due to its location being sold to The Moose Lounge to make way for a new night life hotspot currently slated to be called The Country Bar.
The owners of Rendezvous are currently seeking a new location and may open again if a suitable space can be found.
The Rendezvous Bar aka Boxing Ring
While out on the town for a night of fun with friends, you might reconsider going to this gentlemens club. As we came around the corner to walk into the bar, there were two men attacking two younger females. One of the men had the woman on the ground in the middle of the street and was choking her. The other male punched the other female in the face and was trying to wrestle her to the ground. The bouncers looked confused and were trying help but were not doing the job that they should have done. We stood back as others pulled the men back. The two younger women were obviously sisters and people around were yelling at the men to stay away from these girls. I was slightly intrigued as to why the bouncers were not helping. After a few minutes of over hearing police officers and witnesses. We learned that the two men were the owner and manager of the bar. They were highly intoxicated and the poor girls were just standing in the wrong spot at the wrong time. After much disgust of these men, we didn't even go into the bar and never will.
If you witnessed this event
Please come forward to the police with your witness statement. The two young women were my daughters.
Not The Same
I used to work at both the Torch and Rendezvous. First off, they are completely separate in many ways. Mainly, the Torch was run by people who understand business ethics and have some sort of decency and intelligence. Rendezvous, however, was bought by a bunch of dairy farmers that are just trying to use the establishment as their own personal playground in order to get a piece of ass. The owner has been sued for sexual harassment and drives out customers all the time by trying to get with them. Not that it has anything to do with the business, but just so you can get an idea of who is actually running this place. Rendezvous has done absolutely nothing original and the few ideas they do have they run into the ground. Every time I go in there it seems like the DJs are just screaming at people over the microphone. It has FAIL written all over it. Sure, patrons of the bar might stand up for it because they feel like this place is a great bar, but they never saw it in its prime. The Torch has come and gone, and I think it is time for Rendezvous to come to an end as well. It has nothing to do with what type of a place it actually is, just how it is ran and how unbelievably overpriced it is. I had worked there for just about a year and they had raised the prices at least three separate times. That just shows how desperate they are. The nightclub scene just isn't what it used to be anymore and frankly I am tired of the same old s**t. We need a nightclub like in a bigger city that actually has a decent environment and atmosphere. It doesn't have to be super high end, but something different would be nice. This community is so awesome, why not give it a boost?
When it was the torch lounge
When it was the torch lounge it was professionally run. They instilled rules, exercised regulations, and educated staff about the laws that are required to legally run a bikini bar in downtown cda. The new owners bought the torch lounge in Nov/2010, and the Rendezvous name came at begining of year 2011. Thats when everything turned around and upside down. They nearly had any knowledge of the laws concerning the selling/serving of alcohol and oblivious to all the rules laws that came with having bikini dancers and selling hard liquor. There has been a RIDICULOUS amount of laws being broken to run an establishment like rendezvous. The bikini dancers thong has to be at least 1" thick, no buttcrack showing, and the underneath part of the breast cannot be showing.....OH AND If there is a wet tshirt contest, ABSOLUTELY ALL of the aereola has to be taped. No color of that part can show at all. Saying that check out this picture link off rendezvous facebook from a wettshirt contest they had last week....https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=387419017960208&set=a.101066553262124.2234.100000763405743&type=1&theater
Its just one of many, but it doesnt come close to being as bad as all the other stunts theyve pulled......
The serving of alcohol after 2, nudity, theft, the "regular VIP" customers that spent a large amount of money in the bar on a regular basis got to go upstairs and get "special" treatment from the dancers. When nothing was done about these incidences , all but 1 of the security staff walked out.
Dont Believe a word of it.
Seriously,dont believe a word of it. Just because your a disgruntled business owner, doesent give you the right ti be slanderous,,," Anonymous " you have the balls of a flea, you should have done your "do diligence" get it turd brain?
Repeated violations since changing owners & bcame Rendezvous

The Rendezvous is an embarrassment compared to the torch lounge.
This is one link to the many pictures taken at Rendezvous from their wet tshirt contest they had on 4/23/12. Considering alcohol is served at such an establishment, any nudity or suggestive moves or gestures that insinuate a sexual act is absolutely prohibited. That means, NO nipples! Not even the bottom part of the breast(where the breast and chest meet) or the top of your buttcrack exposed or have a gstring on less than a thick inch. Check out their facebook, their wet tshirt contest album is as unclassy as it gets.
Also one more link to share in case you miss it,......

Grow up
You people need to relax. Let me guess, your 50 years old and grumpy as sin. The Rendezvous is a pretty cool bar/club. They play awesome, loud music, server stiff competitively priced drinks, and have some gorgeous (and some not so gorgeous, to be honest) women dancing in bikinis or sexy underwear for your entertainment. As for the security staff, they are some pretty cool, down to earth guys. All in all this is a damn good bar. I would give it a 9/10.
Really?
9/10? You've obviously never been to a real night club. That place is pathetic. Not because it has strippers, but because that place is a joke. I bet you have low standards for dates as well. People like you make me sick worse than the little goody goody that was complaining about the rules. I would rather brown-bag it with a hobo than go to that dump.
Uuuuhhh ok
As far as I know there is no cover charge except fri and sat its an ok bar but mainly for the younger crowd so dont expect anything in the 80's era and also since you only stick to down town u must not go to alot of bars so stick to ur wine cellar and barrel #7 ok because there is alot more then two bars that allow smoking another thing on wenesdays the 5 dollar cover charge is not on top of the wristband only impleys if u dont get the special
