    Agave section of the drink menu
    Olivia L.

    We always seem to gravitate towards The Robin Room whenever we're feeling like grabbing a casual drink. Located slightly past downtown, I feel like this spot tends to steer clear of the college crowd. First off, their drink menu is awesome. There's a section for each type of liquor so no matter what mood you're in, they've got you covered. I've also found this format useful when I'm feeling like trying something new. Their labeled pictures are really helpful to get an idea of what you're ordering! The weekends tend to get pretty packed at night and there is limited seating, but we've always managed to grab a spot at the bar and make our way to the tables after a bit!

    Are you all about that vibe? The Robin Room serves up some cozy vibes and fancy drinks. I friggin love this little spot. It's tucked between an amazing plant store, a tattoo shop, and a vintage clothing boutique. Kinda creates the perfect little afternoon. Stopped in here with a friend on our Saturday funday and ordered the French martini. Very light flavor and easy to drink. We only had the one cocktail, but I easily could have had several of these. Staff was friendly, the drink menu was extensive and they had beer on tap too. We came at a good time (4 PM-ish) to get seats at the bar because it got packed really fast. It's definitely a popular spot. Make this a stop on your weekend fun days!

    My husband and I stopped by for cocktails and we ended up with a cocktail experience. These cocktails are at the level of marvel and complexity that we have experienced in London, Paris and Montreal. The friendly and knowledgeable Matthew was unpretentious and a good listener to our tastes: he made me a gin-based fruity gingery cocktail and he made my husband a marvelous vanilla and rum extravaganza. We went on a Sunday so it was quiet and we loved it that way. This is a place we will definitely go back to! This is a WOW place.

    I was in town visiting my brother who lives in Madison, Wisconsin who recommended this unique bar. There was a wide drink selection and I was very pleased with the speed of service. We tried several different drinks ranging from gin to brandy to tequila. The ambience was friendly and I would definitely come back here the next time I am in Madison. I will be sure to try out their other drinks.

    Robin Room, this is my joint. As hip, cool, swanky and just all out decadent as it gets. I LOVE coming to Madison and hanging out here. First off, this spot is very low key. The double R greets you on the exterior door and if you don't recognize that this is the Robin Room, well then you missed it. Tables on the left and bar to the right with a big front area with tables and chairs to chillax on by the massive front window are just some of the features that greet one upon entry. Everything else is as should be expected for a joint of this caliber. Turntable, yes please. Vinyl, well definitely. They spin real records and make Robin Room as inviting as a bar can get. Drinks, well this place has more than a few to choose. A great selection of brews on tap along with a full bar to pick your poison. Take that and add more than a handful of those special cocktails you cannot or will not see anywhere else, yes this is the place. My mouth waters just thinking about getting over to the Robin to handle my business. Centrally located to all things hip and funky in Madison located on East Johnson, this is the place to be. Dead center between Forequarter and Salvatore's Tomato Pies, I dare you to pick another bar and get stuck up in it and need some food to eat, choices are right there. To go with that the staff is friendly and the vibe second to none, slanging straight vinyl for your ears to listen. All that make this prime territory to lounge. Robin Room you had me the first time I walked through the door!

    One of my favorite little bars in Madison. Dark, cozy, and a stellar cocktail menu. A great place to meet with friends, or cap off a romantic evening, or even bring a laptop and do some writing. The space is small - this makes for an intimate atmosphere, but you've gotta plan ahead if you're coming here with a large group. Early is better!! Certainly recommend.

    Wow, I had no idea this place existed until a friend mentioned it. Madison is such a great place…read morefor a rooftop experience given that our buildings are generally lower than the Capitol and it is a lovely focal point. Alas, we have so few, and I'm so excited this concept opened! I came on a fall/winter evening, but definitely would love to come back in sunny outdoor weather. On the top floor of the Moxy hotel, Atico serves up a really lovely array of Mexican and Mexican-themed foods. They've got some really elevated entree options, but also have a host of street tacos. While their menu is a bit pricey (some were actually outrageous), the happy hour specials they had listed on the table were a great deal -- definitely would love to come back here for happy hour. I ordered 2 al pastor street tacos and a carne asada street taco. They're nicely sized and are decently full with meat. Onion and cilantro tops them off just like a street taco should be. I thought they were pretty tasty. I didn't love that the pineapple in the al pastor was chopped on top and was served cold (the pineapple, not the meat), but I still ate every ounce of both my tacos, so take my complaint with a grain of salt. My margarita was also good, I appreciated that they were willing to make it "up" instead of "on the rocks." Our server was very accommodating and able to answer questions. Overall, I don't know that the food is worth the price, but it would definitely be worth it on a rare occasion to enjoy the rooftop ambiance. The happy hour also solves for this conundrum. So, I'd certainly like to be back to Atico.

    I stopped here for a cocktail with a few friends right when it opened and I had a great experience!…read moreThe service was friendly and they were accommodating and knowledgeable. I haven't had any of their food but the drinks are always great here. They have an extensive menu. The space inside is beautiful and I love the bright fun colors! I would love to try their food before a show at the Sylvee or Breese Stevens as it's located in a prime spot on east wash.
