    Craft cocktails are top notch. The "bar food" is not your onion rings and soft fries... It's topper notch. Maybe the best curds in Madison. Maybe Wisconsin. Yes... The best fried cheese in the entire cheese state. Don't thank me; tip the staff. It's rough going out there.

    Sensational atmosphere in a unique space.Our drinks were served with nice cordial aplomb and the bands were on fire and the Colombian band from New York was particularly good and we are hoping they will come to our Sessions at McPike Park next year which is right around the corner from the club. I have eaten at Robinia and enjoy their food. Had a fine dinner there last night and took a couple of photos of the nee stage setup.

    great events, not sure why the serve drinks in glass cups on dancing nights. seems risky! but then again, i’m not an analyst. cheers

    The atmosphere and server were great. In my opinion the dish I got (blackened tofu) was good, but not great, which is why I feel I have to knock down my food rating a bit. The dish had way too much ginger, and while the tofu on its own was good, i felt that the garnishes were overboard. Dessert was great, and they gave complementary non-alcoholic shots as well

    I have only been to the bar area and courtyard but I can say Amanda is an absolutely fantastic bartender, and overall person and employee. I will absolutely return just to see her! Overall, the venue was gorgeous and I love the courtyard. I can’t wait to come back and try the food.

    Robina courtyard is a step above the rest. Amazing atmosphere, delectable entrees and apps, and thirst quenching cocktails

    We went for a Friday night show, an intimate location with a really good bar. The bartenders were really friendly and the music was good.

  • 5/5 Casey T. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has it all. A good spot for computer work and casual meetings in the cafe; after-work drinks at the bar; and one of the few vegan-forward restaurants in town for later in the week. Plus live music, one-off events, and...the courtyard!

  • 4/5 Araceli E. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been here for many parties and music events. The atmosphere is super chill. The courtyard is super fun to hang out with friends. Their drinks are very creative and refreshing.

    Delightful! Solid comedy show, wonderful host. Visited for a techno show, many good vibes & insightful conversations. Stellar variety in music, well-serviced, dancin' a plenty.

  • 4/5 Trevor O. 1 year ago on Google
    Cover was $10 for the live music. Music was ok but drugs would’ve helped the experience. Smelled of incense and body sweat. Beautiful courtyard though. $6 for a basic drink.

  • 4/5 Lauren P. 1 year ago on Google
    We were at a private event here and they only had one bartender so service was slow, drinks were good. They then had a live band who came (not part of the private event) and they were actually terrible. I was shocked Robinia let them play.

  • 3/5 Rebekah D. 1 year ago on Google
    Good vibe and nice outdoor seating area. We were there for an art event so there was music and art sales going on. Gotta say though the drinks are expensive but that seems a norm around Madison as of late.
