Upcoming Events at Rochester

We are ready to kick off summer with tons of upcoming events at Rochester! From singalongs to yoga to live music, new art and more, you’re sure to find something to do. So gather your friends and join us at one of our upcoming events, designed to bring our community together.

Sat May 27: Sea Shanty Singalong ~ Crossroads ~ 7-9 PM. Join us once again for our popular Sea Shanty Singalong. Experienced Shantymen from the KC Shanty Choir will teach you traditional sea shanties. Even if you don’t want to sing, you can lift a pint and pound the table. Come early to get a seat!

Wed May 31: 6-9 PM DJ Rosé José ~ Crossroads ~ 6-9 PM. Our Music Wednesdays continue with special guest DJ Rosé José, aka Benny Bordeaux, aka Sauvignon Don. It’s a vibe with a little bit of funk, a little bit of soul, and maybe a little dad rock.

Fri June 2: First Fridays ~ Crossroads.

It’s a neighborhood party celebrating local arts with lots of great things planned in our corner of the Crossroads:

Art: At Rochester, we will host a new artist, Hubbard Savage, who creates figurative acrylic paintings on canvas that are inspired by unconventional music, film and literature.
Music: Just down the street, our friends at Folk Alliance International will be hosting live music with True Lions at 5:45 PM. Rochester will be on hand with free beer + coffee samples while you enjoy the music.
Food + Fun: When you get hungry, our neighbors at the Hispanic Economic Development Corporation will have food trucks, music and more fun at their Party Under the I-35 Bridge.

Sat June 3: Live Like Roo Ice Cream Social Fundraiser for Pets with Cancer ~ Parkville ~ 8 AM – 3 PM. Free ice cream for your pup plus a chance to meet new friends. Donations will be accepted for the Live Like Roo Foundation which raises funds to help pets with cancer.

Sun June 4: Car Microwave Indie Rock Band ~ Crossroads ~ 3-5 PM. Meet your friends for beer, music and fun in the Crossroads Event Space. Free live music from well-known local band Car Microwave plus special guest Escape Goats.

Wed June 7: Kasey Rausch ~ Crossroads ~ 6-8 PM. Our First Wednesday music regular Kasey Rausch will join us, coming to us fresh from gigs in Nashville. We can’t wait to hear her beautiful music and stories from the road.

Monday June 12: Brewery Yoga ~ Crossroads ~ 6-7 PM. Cheers and Namaste! Join us for a one-hour open-level yoga practice led by Ellen Clevenger. Following yoga, enjoy your choice of beverage. $15 tickets include yoga practice + beverage. Space is limited so reserve your spot early!

Cheers!

I always love when coffee shops have space, and Rochester has a MASSIVE sitting area, especially for downtown KC! Tons of room to spread out if you're working solo or relaxing with a group. They also roast their beans right in front … More of you, so you get to watch the process and talk to the employees while it happens.
Really good coffee and tea menu, so anyone can find something they like. I had the espresso tonic, which was super refreshing. Unique seasonal drink offerings too!
I'll definitely be back to try some of their beer and cocktail selections!

Excellent coffee, tea and croissants! Both my partner and I loved the iced americano and blood orange tea had nice flavors. I don’t drink alcohol, so it’s too bad I can’t review their beers, but the menu seemed interesting. Their customer … More service was great and the atmosphere is cozy and clean.
The outside parking was pretty easy.

Great open space and super friendly space. We loved their coffee options and would like to try their food the next time we go. It's also a great space to play trivia, and their other activities look like a lot of fun.

My (now) husband and I have always loved this coffee shop. Their beer and coffee are unmatched. We recently had our wedding reception at this location, and honestly have nothing but amazing reviews. They are responsive, incredibly helpful, … More and affordable. Not to mention, this location has an incredible amount of character. A month later, we are still hearing rave reviews about the location. Thanks to Rochester for not only being our favorite place for a brew, but also hosting one of the biggest days of our lives seamlessly. This place rocks.
