About Kathmandu Cafe

Kathmandu Cafe, formerly known to many locals as Rocky Raccoon's, was a beloved cafe and community arts hub located on 2nd Avenue East in downtown Owen Sound. Before its closure, the venue earned a special place in the city's creative scene, regularly hosting intimate concerts, folk acts, acoustic performances, poetry events, and gatherings that highlighted independent artists from Grey County and beyond. Its warm, lived-in atmosphere made it a rare space where audiences could sit close to the music, fostering the kind of quiet, attentive listening room environment that touring musicians often talk about long after passing through. The cafe also served as a retail outlet for local makers and farms, contributing to the neighbourhood's sense of craft and community. Known for its eclectic programming and grassroots spirit, Kathmandu Cafe helped anchor a vibrant chapter of small-venue culture in Owen Sound, and it remains fondly remembered for the memorable performances, friendly hosts, and creative energy that defined its years as a go-to spot for local arts and live music.
