In, The Roost appears in the basement of the museum. The player can purchase a cup of coffee from Brewster twice per day: once in the morning and once in the evening. While initially reserved, Brewster will open up to the player more if they purchase coffee over a consecutive period of days.

K.K. Slider appears on stage at The Roost on Saturday nights from 7:30 PM to 12:00 AM. Beginning at 8 PM, the player can watch him perform, either by requesting a song or letting him choose a song. After the performance, K.K. will give the player an aircheck of the song.

Various characters can be seen at the bar in The Roost at certain times on certain days. The following characters may appear:

In, like in , The Roost appears in the basement of the museum, and purchasing coffee is identical to the previous game. New to is the option to have Brewster store the player's Gyroids, which is unlocked the day after the player drinks their seventh cup of hot coffee; coffee left to cool does not count toward this. Additionally, on Valentine's Day Brewster serves hot chocolate instead of coffee. The Roost's layout is also slightly different; it is slightly deeper, a plant is added at the bottom-right, and another table and two chairs are added at the bottom-left.

Like in, K.K. Slider appears on stage at The Roost on Saturday nights, and the player can watch him perform by either by requesting a song or letting him choose a song. New options include the ability for the player to tell K.K. their mood ("Good!", "Grumpy...", "Lazy", "A little sad", or "It's hard to say"), after which he will play a song based on the selection. Additionally, the player can request encores after the initial performance, though only one aircheck can be obtained each week.

Like in, special characters can appear at The Roost, though now villagers from the player's town can as well. The following characters may appear at the bar in The Roost:

In, a café very similar to The Roost, known as The Roost Café, appears as a public works project that is unlocked seven days after the Museum Shop is constructed. Like in previous games, Brewster operates the café and will serve the player coffee, which can now also be purchased in a to-go cup. After the player purchases a total of seven cups of coffee, Brewster will allow them to select which ingredients (milk, sugar, and beans) he puts in their coffee, and he will offer them a part-time job.

During the part-time job, the player takes orders from characters who walk in and must choose the correct amount of milk and sugar and the type of beans. If done correctly, Brewster will reward the player with Coffee Beans and a unique furniture item.

The Roost makes a minor appearance in and is based on its appearance in. The café is first seen when Ai visits The Roost to look for Apollo. While she is there, she meets Cesar and Cyrano, who are drinking coffee at the table. Later, after Margie moves away from Animal Village, Ai, who is grieving Margie's moving, returns to The Roost and orders a coffee; she is consoled by Whitney.
