The Village Rendezvous (546 S. Coast Hwy 101)

“You could dance every night”.

That was in the ‘30s when Maurice Delay owned the property and opened his Rendezvous. It was a one story, brick-faced building but he soon added an upstairs apartment with an illegal poker parlor. Down below he set up a boxing ring on the north side of the building and some nights crawled through the ropes to challenge an opponent. The next feature added was a “hideaway” with dance floor, jukebox and dining facilities. In 1942, Maurey sold out and quietly left town. A lot of the Rendezvous went with him.

The Daley family purchased the business in 1956. Now it is the popular Daley Double, a neighborhood-gathering place where all are welcome at the beautiful walnut burl bar.
