Prologue - Before we had demigods, holidays, causes and religions, we had observable nature. Our stories explored who we are through the animal kingdom we observed around us. 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. read more

What a quaint little place! Stopped here for a drink after an event at a winery just down the road. Cool retro vibe in here, nice guys behind the bar. Would like a few more drink options, but what we ordered were good. read more

We visited again on this last trip to Kalamazoo. I do still wish there were more gin and vodka options. I feel like they all were kind of similar? I wish that the lime and orange came through more, they both leaned very heavy on the bitter end which I wasn't expecting for both (one, sure, but not the other) I hope I find some brighter, citrus flavors on the next visit. We will always come back. It doesn't stay open super late so we gor kicked out lol but we always have a good time. read more

Stamped Robin - Wine Bars Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Such a cool place!!! A wonderful vibe for a fun time; great for drinks with friends. We tried quite a lot of their drinks and loved all of them. There are drinks for everyone's taste- flowery, bitter, sweet, strong. My favorites were the Rosolio Sour & the Buck 75. They also had some great snack plates to go with the drinks including olives, cheese & salami plates, and kettle chips. Our server gave great suggestions and was so friendly. read more

This was the perfect night out spot before our dinner reservations. Outside seating is cute, we were happy there were umbrellas as it drizzled a little as we sipped our drinks. So happy there was a nonalcoholic cocktail on the menu! It was delicious and my husband enjoyed his flint tropics cocktail. We shared the manchego plate and spiced almonds which were perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend checking out this spot if you're in Kzoo! read more

Stamped Robin - Restaurant week drink it's got coffee anise bourbon. It was delicious and I wish I wrote the name down. - Wine Bars Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

I don't remember how I heard about the Stamped Robin but my boyfriend and I decided to stop in for a quick pre-dinner drink. We were meeting his family around the corner so didn't have much time, but weren't ready to order when the bartender first came over. The menu is nicely varied with a handful of cocktails in addition to their wine offerings. We sat around for awhile before someone came back over to get our order, which made me a little anxious as we were on a schedule. However we were able to get our check right away. Just be aware that this might be more of a hang out for awhile type of place and not a super quick pre-dinner drink place. I ordered the Fox Trot (rum, curacao, lime) and my boyfriend got a Manhattan. The Fox Trot was sour and quite strong, and the Manhattan was strong as well. Both drinks were okay, but nothing mind-blowing. I love a good cocktail but am not really a connoisseur. There were many words on the menu that I didn't recognize (strega, rabarbaro, mandorla) so I think if I went back with more time, I'd definitely ask more questions and get a recommendation. Cocktails were very reasonably priced at $9-$12. The vibe inside is really cozy, kind of like someone's living room with a couch lounge area up front and a record player. They have limited snack and food options. I think this is a fun place and definitely in a great location, tucked away right in the heart of the downtown business corridor. Good stop for the beginning or end of your night! read more

Went by the reviews of my fellow Yelpers and was glad I did. Although the Stamped Robin is known as a wine bar don't let that deter you... Our bartender Patrick was personable and a quite knowledgeable mixologist! The overall vibe was casual, music was all vinyl and eclectic. A cool find in downtown Kzoo. I will be back! read more

Hands down, best cocktails in town. Small, quaint, great service, outdoor seating (your civil dog is welcome), and spicy honey almonds to round it all. PS Ask about their at home cart. read more

Love. It. Stamped Robin is the type of place you'd find in a big city & I mean that in a positive way. The ambience, menu selection & service made me feel like I was back in CHI or LA or even DET for a hot sec. Stopped by the Stamped Robin on a weekday evening for some wine and small bites with some colleagues. It was a warm evening, so we sat on the nicely decorated patio. They have 20 wines are rotation & I love that you can get 2 oz, 6 oz, or 9 oz pours. 2 oz all the way - I ended up creating my own "flight"! For food, we had basically all the menu sans the "tin" section of the menu - all pretty good: *Pistachios (roasted in-house with sea-salt) *Membrillo (Quince fruit jam, 6-month aged Manchego, Almonds) *Proscuitto & Biscuits (A match made in heaven: Prosuitto di Parma, Fourth Coast Buttermilk, Buckwheat Honey) - this one was fine. Not the best biscuits I've had & the proscuitto was okay. *The Board (Currently featuring pork & fig pate, creamy chévre, brioche toast & condiments) Move over Wine Loft, you'll find me at Stamped Robin! 260/365 read more

I heart SR even more now- they have been amazing through covid with wine pick up, they have supported fellow small businesses in the area and now they are taking safety very seriously and have their patio open! Wear a mask, bring a friend and sit outside. They have hand sanitizer on each table. Staff wears masks and requires guests to do the same (except when seated at your table). So happy to enjoy SR again!!! read more

Passing through Kalamazoo and stumbled in to this cute wine bar with my boyfriend. We each had a glass and enjoyed a relaxing couple of hours hear. I really enjoyed the overall aesthetic. It's the type of place that can easily come across as super pretentious but the staff here is super chill and welcoming. They have a clearly very thoughtfully curated wine list and I really enjoyed reading the creative descriptions. The only slight negative is that at around 9:30 or 10. They turned the music up and the noise level rose accordingly. It wasn't overwhelmingly loud or anything but it slightly detracted from the atmosphere we had been enjoying earlier. Overall though, we really enjoyed our experience at this cute, unique little wine bar. read more

We found Stamped Robin by Googling for great wine bars in Kalamazoo. We prompty came for a visit and were totally happy with the ambiance, the staff, and the very broad choice of cocktails. Not only are there lots of cocktail choices, but all the ones I tried were both delicious and really STRONG! Initially I was afraid that a five star Yelp review might make this place a little TOO popular, but I decided that were that to happen it would be richly deserved :-) read more

I love this place so much. It is the best bar in kalamazoo and whenever i visit the area it is the number 1 place on my list. They have small snacks (marcona almonds, chips, tinned fish) but no dinner, so this is a great spot pre or post dinner or just for whenever. Nice booths with cozy lighting at each table and some cozy seating in the adjacent room with a pool table. Drinks are unique and delicious and service is always great. read more

I don't know why I didn't give this place 5 stars in the first place. Over the past couple years this place has become my go to bar in town. They have navigated the pandemic expertly. The outdoor seating area is perfect for a night out with friends. They make cocktails to go and have a cocktail delivery service. I can't say enough good things about The Stamped Robin. read more

Ordered a burger and it was served with hair in burger. They were mad at me for making a big deal about it. Gross

What is not to love about the Stamped Robin. This was my second time here and I enjoyed just as much. It is a small space which has an outdoor patio. Cozy atmosphere with comfy chairs and couches. Music is always playing, a tad too loud but still enjoyable. The cocktail list has been carefully put together with fun and creative combinations you can't get just anywhere. The wines have been hand picked by the owner. On this occasion we went with a bottle of the Rose, which was perfect to share among friends. They also offer small bits to eat but we did not try on this visit. I can't wait to visit and try one of the cocktails! read more

The Stamped Robin is an eclectic cocktail lounge that also offers some snack items. Seating is inside or outside. Take out for snacks, cocktails and full bottles of wine is available with curbside service. They offer several specialty cocktails and are happy to make your favorite old standby as well. The wine list offers affordable selections that are not the same old same old, but very delicious. We were there at 5pm on a Tuesday evening so they were not very busy. As such, it was quiet and we were able to choose the sofa by the front window. We enjoyed the Damned Nice Martini and Cameron's Kick. As we had dinner reservations nearby, we did not partake of any snacks. Can't wait to go back. read more

Stamped Robin has been a favorite cocktail bar of mine for years. They do have delicious drinks. However this evening, my husband and I were out for our friend's birthday and we encountered the rudest bartender. My husband had 3 beers total and I had one non-alcoholic drink and he asked for one more beer and the bartender cut him off. He then asked for the bill and the bartender accused him of asking for another beer. Again, he asked for the tab and the bartender just lost it and started screaming at him. Our group had 9 people total and he put everyone's tab together and slammed it on the bar and told everyone someone had to take care of it. Others had fancy drinks that were much more expensive and we all asked for our own tabs which he refused to do. The bartender then told us to give him our cards and he would split it up evenly. Everyone was calm and asking for the lady bartender to come over and divide our checks so we could pay and leave. The bartender was still just yelling at our group. Very very uncalled for and super unprofessional. This is the first time we've been out to Kalamazoo in a year and we were very excited to hit up our favorite cocktail bar and with this experience we will never come back again. Thankfully the lady bartender divided everyone's tabs but he continued to say things even as we were walking out. I have worked in the service industry for years and I've never seen a bartender attack a customer like that. My husband was not wasted or disrespectful in anyway. He was genuinely trying to figure out why the bartender got so upset. Very strange and upsetting way to end our nice evening out. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! I haven't stumbled upon a wine bar this incredible in years. Reminds me of the spots you'd wander into in New York or Chicago - but with the Kalamazoo charm.
