Villains were snakes, aggressively territorial and quick to spread venom. Heroes were underdogs, and sometimes are today. In this early literary space, a bird represented a creature gifted with the ability to live between two worlds. They could walk on the movement of earth, and fly on the breath of the wind. They often held spiritual qualities. In the case of a Robin, the early bird catches the worm. This spiritual place is not your typical cocktail bar, which is limited to movements on earth. The fearlessness of the Robin is stamped into every corner, spun in every drink, and found in the heart of those who love this place. What is this place? It's an adventure that's waiting in a glass, served with class. It's witty banter of quick witted birds. It's the boldness to standout, be clever, and be inclusive in the journey. It's a safe space to stay awhile and listen to the songs of a Stamped Robin, whose tales equal enlightenment and drinks equal spiritual refreshment. Thank you for your craft.

We went on a Sunday evening and were seated immediately. Unfortunately the food and drinks were only ok. My husband has celiacs and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable. He had the burger which was good and we got the spinach artichoke dip which was also good. I got the ahi tuna as my main which was not a good choice even though it was recommended by the server. I got the guava margarita and my husband got the coconut mojito. Perhaps I just ordered wrong with that ahi tuna but I would have expected better food for what we paid. But the atmosphere and service were top notch so we may come back if we vacation in St Joseph again. But I'd definitely get a steak or burger -- not seafood -- next time.

Toppings were standard too - a classic pizza. Overall great restaurant! One of the best in downtown.

We had finished up our dune ride and were in need of lunch and found this spot on Yelp. Nate and I…read morewere able to get seats at the bar but it sounded like there was a bit of a wait for the patio. This place seems to be known for their pizza, but we had just eaten pizza the day before, so we opted for a side of fries, a side Caesar salad, and an order of the wings. Well, we ended up getting full portions of the side items, which was a bit of a bummer as we weren't super hungry plus it was more expensive. We'd just be more specific next time. The food was good, but we really should have ordered pizza. The Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful, but had a LOT of anchovies. I personally really like anchovies, but this was a bit much. The wings were huge and kind of gamey, and the skin was not crispy so they were not my favorite to eat. The fries were tasty but nothing special. I will give 5 stars for the beer! I had the lake noir, which was a blueberry/blackberry beer and the other fruit beer which was watermelon flavored. They were both fruity and refreshing and I really enjoyed them. I would come back for the pizza, which seemed a bit pricey but looked delicious.

We arrived at 9:45pm and were seated at a cute, cozy little couch and table setup. The hostess handed us both a drink menu and a separate food menu. Looking through it, I was thrilled to see quite an expansive cocktail list broken down by "chapters," as well as several small snack options clearly marked with a gluten-free (GF) label. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit disappointing once we tried to order. Despite the online hours stating the venue closes at 11:00pm our server informed us that the kitchen was already closed. There is no indication online of what time the kitchen closes, and it was incredibly disappointing to be handed a dedicated food menu by the hostess only to be told moments later we couldn't order anything. When I asked our server for recommendations and which specific cocktails were gluten-free, she mentioned she was new and had to go check. She returned about 10 minutes later, only to give a vague answer that "most drinks were gluten-free" without offering an actual recommendation or helpful suggestion. My husband ended up ordering a non-alcoholic drink, but between the kitchen confusion and the lackluster service, I opted not to get anything at all. It's a cool venue with a lot of potential, but they should put their kitchen hours online and better train their staff on the menu.

It's next door to their sister restaurant, Lovejoy. Walking in, the space is very dimly lit with a nice bar and some cozy seating. We were directed to a couch and a couple of low chairs. The menu is organized into different "chapters," with different themes for each chapter. They also have beer, wine, spirit-free options, and a spirits list. I wanted something fun, so I chose the Don the Beachcomber, a rum-based tiki cocktail that is flamed tableside. My friend got the Obstacle No. 1, which is a bourbon drink that they smoke at your table. Very theatrical and fun! These drinks were $20+ so pretty pricey, but worth it for a fun occasion. We had a nice time just relaxing and catching up. I would say it's not a great spot for a large group, but definitely a fun date night place. They have a small food menu of offerings from the restaurant next door that sounded tasty. We had just eaten but I'd be interested in their small plates. I'm so glad I got to experience this place. It feels like you're transported to a secret speakeasy when you enter!
