Robinson Room Makes a Sweet Return to Columbia!
Columbia residents, get ready to indulge your taste buds once again! The beloved Robinson Room has reopened its doors, and this time, it’s cozying up at a brand new location at 1625 Main St. Previously, the dessert and cocktail haven was situated just across the street at 1614 Main St., but after a slight intermission in mid-October, the excitement is back and sweeter than ever!
A New Spot with a Fresh Vibe
On November 7, Robinson Room welcomed fans back with open arms and a tantalizing promise of tasty treats. The news spread quickly on social media, and a big banner at their new spot greeted passersby, letting everyone know that dessert dreams were indeed a reality once more. This new location conveniently sits right between the vibrant Grand on Main restaurant and boutique bowling alley, plus the cool Sweet Cream Co. ice cream shop—talk about a sweet neighborhood!
Part of the Middleton Family Legacy
If you’re a fan of good food, you surely know about the LTC Hospitality Group, owned by Columbia’s own influential Middleton family. They’ve been serving up deliciousness across the Main Street District with a lineup of popular spots like The Grand on Main, Smoked, Hanabi Hibachi and Sushi, and Chapin’s 518 Smokehouse. The reopening of Robinson Room is just one of the exciting developments in the ever-evolving culinary scene around here.
A Sneak Peek at What’s to Come
While Robinson Room is back in action, they’re still fine-tuning their offerings. The team recently put out an enthusiastic message on Instagram sharing, “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!” So, what makes this reopening so special? Brace yourselves for tantalizing new savory tapas, scrumptious desserts, and an inviting fall cocktail menu that is sure to please.
A Bit of History
For those who might be new to the Robinson Room, it first opened on the lower floor of the Grand on Main before making its way to 1614 Main Street earlier this spring. Though the transition was brief, fans have eagerly anticipated the new chapter at 1625 Main Street. The excitement doesn’t stop with just Robinson Room; there has been quite a bit of movement with other eateries under the Middleton umbrella as well.
The Buzz Continues Around Town
Just as Robinson Room is making its festive comeback, Columbia’s Good Life Cafe, which had been at 1614 Main St. since Spring 2023, announced its closure on October 11. But don’t worry! The culinary magic continues with the freshly opened 1624 Bistro at 1624 Main St., serving up delightful breakfast and lunch options that are sure to brighten your day!
Brewing Up Something New
And let’s not forget the buzz surrounding Peak Drift Brewing. Co-owned by the Middleton family, they recently announced some changes to their plans for a taproom, focusing instead on the production side of things at their facility on North Main St. In the meantime, you can find their delicious brews served up at the Smoked restaurant.
