Davenport Roadhouse

Live Music, Full Bar, and Awesome Food.

Hey awesome people! We are Christopher and Vanessa Chamberlain and we purchased the historic Davenport Roadhouse in February of 2020. Since then, we’ve had a lot of adventures and ups and downs dealing with a worldwide pandemic, evacuations from fires, and general hooliganism. With the help of our exceptional team we have not only endured, but thrived and our goal is to continue to create a space where everyone can enjoy delicious meals, full bar and live music with great ocean views.

We want everyone to feel welcome and have a kick ass time! Visit Website
