Let me first start this story with how boring Madison bar scene is when you are in the downtown area by the capitol or down on State street. Each year for 30 days when I'd make a visit to Madison since 2012 after finally graduating from UW-Madison, I find myself looking for something new but also not finding the right group of people to enjoy my time with. I'm not much of a big speaker or like to juice up on gossip on life or anyone. Madison has created this gap where I'm started to feel misplace where I, one day in my first week here in Madison started to walk home from a photoshoot and decide to do late night street photography walk and there it was, his hidden gem. No banner, No outrageous people chain smoking or I like to used the word "scuttlebutt" in front of the place. The Robin room was not just calling my name but I needed to reboot my experience here in Madison. As soon as I sat down, it just felt right, it felt good, it felt like my other selective places that I have travel to and made it my choice to try is almost in the same category and it was called The Robin Room. Continue to visit for a week to see if there was any thing I don't like. It was the Pineapple in the window display that made me curious. The one drink that I'd saw and I started to get on nerdy but happy inside was a brand of Japanese whiskey called Nikka and that was my first alcohol beverage then off to some excellent IPA choices they had and then Mojito's. For the last 3 weeks and 4 days, I've took it a pond myself to visit there almost everyday after 7pm but there has been times during the late afternoon hours after 4pm, where I had a shitty day and I just needed a cold Mojito or Beer on a hot day or days in Madison. I'm not sugar coating this place everyone at all, it just felted that good of a place to want to return like other bars that I have visit in Portland, San Diego, NYC, Vancouver B.C, London, Denmark, even in S.Korean. This is one bar that is surely going to be added to the best places to get a professional drink and have a good conversation in such a well but clean Atmosphere.
I'm going there for my last visit tonight which is Thursday, August 4th 2016 and I'm going to miss this place so damn much. I wish I can take the place with me to the airport because airports don't have good drinks and they are super over price for water down Mojito's or beer. Would you like to visit a place where the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about their selection of Gin to Rum? I'd believe you would like? Then what in Buddha name are you doing or wasting your time going to some of these college bar where it's all about those plastic cups w water down drinks. You like taste don't you? Then stop by when you have a chance and check it out yourself but don't and please don't bring people that are going to ruined such a wonderful place. It's open to everyone. Oh, did I discuss that they do have Sujeo on the first Tues and 3 week but I can be wrong about that, because i don't eat pork but everyone is crazy for the food and I think it's a nice combination. They serve other food one other weeks so you may want to ask about days where food is being serve at the Robin Room. Go and have a good time for me please.
