About Us
The Rendon Inn New Orleans History.
Established in 1933, is one of New Orleans' oldest bars, born out of the need to celebrate life after the National Prohibition Act. It has been a hub for community and camaraderie, offering a place for locals to gather and enjoy locally crafted food and drinks. The bar has undergone several transformations, including a recent makeover in early 2018, to keep up with changing times and preferences. Today, it continues to be a neighborhood bar with a long history and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a cherished part of New Orleans' cultural landscape.

Longest Shaped Bar in New Orleans.
A bar top can be very long if it forms a complete shape like a rectangle or circle, and the building that houses it doesn't need to be very large. The longest shaped bars surpassed the lengths of the longest linear bars because of this.
The Rendon Inn in Broadmoor has the longest bar top overall with an impressive length of 973 inches. It wasn't until 2005 when the Rendon Inn could boast of this length. "Rendon Inn opened right after Prohibition, and it's been here ever since. The bar used to be linear until Hurricane Katrina. After Katrina, the remodel is what turned it into a center bar with patio access," explained Jeff Rizzo, who purchased the Rendon Inn and the adjoined event space The Hangar in 2021.
Rendon Inn is a “hidden Uptown gem” that has become more of a restaurant thanks to Rizzo’s enticing menu, which mirrors that of his Metairie bar Cork Wine and Martini Bar. Back in the 1980s, the patrons were not focused on elevated bar food. Rizzo said, “Back in its heyday, the Rendon Inn was a very popular place with their biggest nights being Wednesdays, and it was called Drinkin’ with Lincoln. It was $5 to get in for all you can drink all night.”
