Touvelle Lodge

A really fun place, located in a beautiful setting that virtually no one but a local resident will ever find, which is a shame! It’s located right in the middle of a large agricultural area next to Table Rock (the view of Table Rock, from table rock rd is worth the drive or ride alone), surrounded by assorted ranches and orchards. A pretty fair selection of Oregon microbrews, simply a great place in an unexpected location

Love this place. The Sunday afternoon music jam is a favorite & the outdoor patio is wonderful. All the staff super nice & efficient even when slammed with thirsty bikers… Can’t wait to go again!

Located between the Rogue River and Table Rock, Touville Lodge, better described as Touvelle Tavern, is a traditional country roadhouse but the dance floor now is home to a pool table; the jukebox remains while the pinball machine has been replaced with a video game. This is an old place that is gradually being modernized, such as the CRT large screen TVs have been joined by a flat screen TV. The indoor and outdoor stages remain and customers who sit outside in the large beer garden area can not only enjoy live music on weekends but gaze and the cows grazing just beyond a wire fence.
The food menu fits on a small menu board facing the entrance: burgers, chili and hot dogs. I had a cheese burger and fries. The large meat patty was well grilled and was joined by lettuce, onions and tomatoes along with the cheese. The huge steak fries were excellently prepared by the one-​person cook-​waiter-​bartender who alone serves customers during the week. One a week-​day noon, a few farmers and ranchers comprised nearly all the customers. On Sundays the sinners show up in such numbers that the staff is increased; in good weather, the tavern is a favorite hangout for motorcyclists and others who enjoy live music and beer along with the fine burgers.
The décor is roadhouse: beer signs, life-​sized cutouts of girls, and miscellaneous items fastened to the walls and ceilings, like a motorcycle saddle bag and a trumpet. There is lots of counter space, booths and tables inside and great views outside.

Some of the best places to visit for a beer require you to take a drive out into the country. Touvelle Lodge has a great little stage out back that you can sit at picnic tables, swill beer, eat some of the tasty food that gets served up and listen to some great music. Don’t miss taco Tuesdays or any of the other specials this place has to offer. They fill up quite nicely on the weekend as many locals and people who are traveling through on motorcycles stop to see what’s parked out front and quench their thirst.
