Hello Columbia: A Sweet Revival on Main Street!
Hey there, Columbia! Big news for dessert and cocktail lovers! Robinson Room has made a comeback. Yes, you heard that right! After a brief hiatus, this delightful spot reopened its doors on November 7, 2023, but wait—there’s a twist! They’ve moved just a stone’s throw away from their previous location at 1614 Main St. to brand new digs at 1625 Main St.. Exciting, right?
Where to Find the Sweetness
You might be wondering, “Where exactly is this new Robinson Room?” Well, it’s cozying up between two familiar faces in the neighborhood: the popular Grand on Main restaurant and the charming Sweet Cream Co. ice cream shop. It seems like the perfect location to catch dessert enthusiasts as they stroll by, don’t you think?
What’s New at Robinson Room?
While the restaurant is back in action, they’re still smoothing out a few kinks, as they put it on their social media. “While Robinson Room makes its return, we’re not quite finished with our glow up just yet—but couldn’t keep your favorite cocktails and desserts from you,” they shared. This glow up sounds promising!
So, what can you expect? Prepare your taste buds because they’re rolling out a whole new fall cocktail menu alongside some mouthwatering savory tapas and, of course, their beloved desserts. It looks like they’re keeping the good stuff while introducing exciting new options. Robinson Room originally started on the lower floor of the Grand on Main, and this recent move marks their third location shift. They previously relocated to 1614 Main in spring 2023, and after a short transition, they’re back and ready to impress.
A Busy Time for LTC Hospitality Group
Robinson Room is part of the LTC Hospitality Group, which is owned by the Middleton family, well-known in the Columbia area for their involvement in the local restaurant scene. Besides the Robinson Room, they operate several well-loved establishments nearby, including The Grand on Main, the upscale Smoked, Hanabi Hibachi and Sushi, and Chapin’s 518 Smokehouse. It seems the Middletons have their hands full and are committed to serving up delicious experiences for Columbia residents!
Changes Around the Neighborhood
The reopening of Robinson Room comes amidst an overall buzz in the area. Just recently, the long-standing Good Life Cafe, which also previously occupied 1614 Main St., announced its closure in early October. However, it’s not all bad news! The LTC group has opened a fresh breakfast and lunch spot called 1624 Bistro at—guess what?—1624 Main St. It seems the Middletons are trending towards expansion!
Additionally, Peak Drift Brewing, co-owned by the family, recently decided to shift their plans for a taproom at their facility at 3452 North Main St. Instead of a taproom, they’ll focus on production and distribution of their beverages, with the official taproom now hosted at Smoked restaurant. More changes and delicious offerings are on the horizon!
Wrap It Up
So, Columbia, mark your calendars and stop by Robinson Room at their new address to taste what’s new. This sweet spot may have moved just a hair, but the flavor remains bold and promising! Whether you’re in the mood for decadent desserts or creative cocktails, they’ve got something special brewing up just for you. We’ll be keeping an eye on how they continue to evolve—cheers to that!
