Fellow Travelers,
For over eight years, the original Scum & Villainy Cantina in Hollywood has been the best-kept secret of nerd culture. It’s an immersive, multiverse fan experience that has hosted events for Paramount, Nickelodeon, and the Roddenberry Foundation, while quietly growing 20%+ year over year. It has survived everything the galaxy threw at it and emerged stronger every time, powered by a cult following of passionate regulars who call it home.
Now, the crew is ready to expand.
Rendezvous is the flagship next chapter: a larger, bolder destination launching in Burbank, the very heart of the entertainment industry, steps from Warner Bros., Netflix, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network. This is theme park-level immersion without the gate price, combined with something no theme park can offer: a genuine creative community hub where fans and creators actually intersect, collaborate, and celebrate together.
The Rendezvous
A Community Gathering Space
Think of it as the sports bar for pop culture, or your local comic shop that builds community through exceptional food and drink. Networking without an agenda. Friendships forged over shared passions.
A Creator-Fan Bridge
Where industry professionals can feel the pulse of their fandoms and fans can potentially meet the creators who inspire them. No velvet ropes, no gatekeeping.
A Creative Incubator
Equipped with a podcast studio, live streaming capabilities, 3D printing, prop-making workshops, and directing classes. This isn't just a place to consume culture, it's a launchpad for creating it. Rendezvous offers new, extended hours during the day for coffee, collaboration and co-working with creatives.
A Family Destination
Hero & Princess Storytime, geeky crafting for kids, and nostalgia-rich experiences that bring generations together. Everyone belongs here.
At our core, we believe a community should generate more value than it consumes. While we'll serve exceptional food and drinks, our true measure of success is the output: friendships forged, skills learned, collaborations sparked, and creators launched.
We're creating a space where:
-An aspiring writer meets their future collaborator over themed cocktails
-A family bonds over shared fandoms across generations
-A studio executive discovers what their audience truly wants
-A podcaster records their breakthrough episode
-A child's imagination ignites, setting them on a creative path
This is about belonging, not just a business. About celebration, not just a new location. We’re about building a safe haven where people can be authentically, joyfully themselves.
