If you caught any of those Marco Benevento shows at the Stonecat Cafe over the past few years, then you know exactly what you are in for with this upcoming gig!

One more night at the Rongo with Mr. Benevento at the helm? Oh, it's about to be an all-out dance party! Tickets are still available online!

We are sad to report that today will be the last day that the Rongo will be open for business as usual.

We've tried very hard to keep the Rongo open, healthy, and fun, but we must unfortunately close the doors. While we wish we could just say, "We're moving the embassy to Canada," in response to recent geopolitical events, the truth is that we are facing overwhelming financial complications. We did some things well, we did some things poorly, but we did do the best we could to re-establish the Rongo as a community pillar. We have faith that the Rongo will return in some form in the future.

It's nearly two years to the day when we re-opened under this ownership and management group and while it was short, it really was a ton of fun. Thank you to everyone who made it such a pleasant place to visit! Thank you to the amazing, amazing musicians who graced the Rongo stages during this current iteration. Thank you to the staff that kept the Rongo going every step of the way.

After today, the kitchen will close and we will only re-open (without a full menu) for three more concerts (11/12, 11/19, and 12/4). Thank you for all of your support over the years.
