Rumpus Room is the passion project of Maxine and Shaun in honour of their deceased best friends. Inspired by their love of humanity and creative pursuits, RR strives to be the premiere destination in Grey-Bruce for community minded fun. With an emphasis on music, art and acceptance of people from all walks of life, we welcome you to join the Rumpus. We have regular opening hours but are happy for you or your organization to create your OWN Rumpus by contacting us for a booking. While we sell bar snacks, we encourage you to get takeout from your favourite local restaurant (Casero, Shanny’s, Parkwood, Sabitri’s, Milk Maid, Papi’s) and enjoy at our venue. Please note we carry beer and wine, but at our heart we are a cocktail lounge 🙂

Bourbon, amaro, aperol, lemon juice. Tastes like less sweet grapefruit juice. Once you have one it won’t be your last.
