Plan Your Visit to The RINO

How do I get to The RINO?

Use the complete North Kansas City address when planning your trip. North Kansas City is a separate municipality from Kansas City, Missouri, across the river. Contact the venue about parking and the entrance for your performance rather than relying on directions for a similarly named downtown destination.

What types of events happen here?

The RINO calendar mixes ticketed touring and local concerts, stand-up comedy shows, and free open-mic nights. Song Lab music open mics traditionally run Monday and Tuesday, while Laugh Lab comedy open mic holds a Wednesday slot; organizers note that these schedules can shift, so anyone planning to attend or perform should verify dates in advance. Ticketed performances occupy other evenings and weekends. Published operating hours—Monday through Thursday six to ten, Friday and Saturday six to eleven, and Sunday show-by-show—reflect general availability and are not the same as a specific concert's door or showtime. Always check the individual event listing for actual start and entry times.

Are all shows all-ages?

Age policies vary by event. Official event descriptions posted by the venue include the age requirement for that particular performance—some are labeled all-ages. Read the requirement for the performance you plan to attend. Because the policy is event-specific, visitors should read the full listing before buying tickets. Younger attendees and accompanying adults can look for the all-ages label; when it's absent, contact the venue or promoter to confirm whether minors may attend.

What accessibility features are available?

Contact the venue before purchasing if you need a step-free entrance, accessible restroom or a particular viewing position. Give the performance date and describe any mobility, sensory or companion-seating needs so staff can address the arrangement for that show.

What is the room layout like?

Check the individual event for seating and admission arrangements. The RINO is a performance space within a shared building; a photograph or description of another Company & Co business does not establish where your ticket places you during the show.

What are the entry and house policies?

Review your event’s entry instructions before packing bags or photography equipment. Ask the organizer about any item you need to bring and about returning after an exit. Admission to one ticketed performance should be checked separately from an open-mic program or ordinary business opening hours.

Are food and drinks available?

An attached vegan ice-cream shop is part of the Company & Co setting. Check its current opening hours separately from the concert schedule if you want to visit. Contact the venue about refreshments for your performance rather than assuming a dinner service is included.
