Your Kind of Place
Finally Found
Craft beers on tap, cocktails that actually know what they're doing, and a kitchen that treats every dish like an invitation to stay a while. This is Fond du Lac's living room — and the door's always open.
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.
