A Taproom That
Feels Like
Coming Home

1836 Renegade Taproom wasn't built to be fancy. It was built to be real — a place where the beer is cold, the food is honest, and nobody's keeping score at the door.

Located right on South Main Street in the heart of Fond du Lac, we're the spot where neighbors become friends and strangers become regulars. Whether you're grabbing a quick pint after work or settling in for a long evening with good company, this is your table waiting.

Real People

Staff that knows your name and your order by week two.

Great Pours

Rotating craft taps and a cocktail menu worth memorizing.

Good Vibes

Live music, game nights, and zero pretense.

Whether it's a Friday night with the boys, a date night that actually goes somewhere interesting, or a quiet Tuesday with a book and a pint — 1836 has a corner for you.

  • Spacious indoor seating and a relaxed patio area
  • Large-screen TVs for games and events
  • Live music and themed nights throughout the week
  • Private event space available for gatherings
  • Dog-friendly patio — your pup is welcome too
