The Robinson Cocktail Lounge

This place is so cute! They have good drinks and tasty food. The salad was delicious and I'd definitely come back just for that itself. Staff is kind and there's plenty of seating inside and outside. The only negative I would say is that the music is a bit loud since it has a coffee shop/food/bar. Many people come here to work, study or hang w a friend!

We have visited the Robinson room before and thought it was a great place to dance and get drinks for a night out, but we won't be coming back after our last experience. Recently, we visited - wanting to enjoy the location as we had before and were stopped by the bouncer because my partner was wearing flip flops.This is Orlando, not Miami nightlife. It's also 80 degrees most nights? What do you expect.There is absolutely no dress code on the Robinson Room website / social media & women often wear sandals / heels out. We won't be coming back to pay for overpriced drinks and treatment as if this is some high class bar. If you're going to enforce rules, have them on the website and don't let your bouncers select when they feel like enforcing them.

I really do appreciate the ambiance they provide at this establishment. Their signature cocktails are on point. I look forward to going back really soon.

The Robinson is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Orlando. There is a very bright and pretty café downstairs. I have gotten breakfast and a cocktail there before, but I have definitely visited the cocktail lounge, upstairs more. The Robinson Cocktail Lounge is very dark and moody, in a mid-century glam kind of way. What I love is that it is the perfect start or stop when spending an evening downtown. I say it is nice to start there because you can get a yummy craft cocktail or two before making your way to a bar with fewer specialty options. They have a menu with cocktails unique to their brand/location, as well as a full bar for all of your fav classics. The upstairs cocktail lounge opens at 7pm, so most recently my husband and I got an early dinner, then grabbed a drink at the Robinson before heading to the Dr Phillips Center (5 minute walk) for a play. The bartenders are always friendly and the drinks never disappoint. Last time I tried the Studio 54, and it was right up my alley. It is a gin based drink and the strawberry in it gave it just the right amount of sweetness that I like.

Slightly overpriced drinks, though strong. My gin and tonic was almost 50% gin, which I didn't particularly like. The bar area looks nice, but, based on its outside and upstairs looks (where their cafe is) I thought that the upstairs area would look a little bit more upscale. So if you plan to visit The Robinson, I recommend siting at their cafe and trying one of their delicious beverages and skipping their bar.

Ooooof... I haven't been to The Robinson for a coffee in a bit so I decided to pop in for one. I must've showed up at an inconvenient time. There was one barista taking order after order and a line of tickets ahead of her. My coffee ended up being overly milky and watered down. I would've rather walked around the corner to another popular coffee spot. Keeping in mind the price of a craft coffee, this left a not so great taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively.

Such a gem in Downtown Orlando!My friend & I went here for coffee to talk over some ideas we had & this was the perfect spot!It has such a clean & cute aesthetic with some great coffee selections.I got the Salted Cream Coffee w/ the Parmesan Truffle fries & it was the perfect light combo!The staff was also very friendly & had good vibes all around! Would definitely suggest this place to anyone wanting a nice chill vibe!

Love the entire vibe of this establishment. Delicious coffee and tea options. Tasty sandwiches, wraps and salads. They offer pastries as well. So many unique seating options depending on your mood. Love the lighting, atmosphere and the music.

If you're looking for a place in DTO with great ambiance, tasty cocktails, coffee, and fairly health conscious food, then Robinson's the place! I love coming here to grab a coffee or quick bite during the day and then heading upstairs to the cocktail room at night. The cafe did change their menu a bit a while back but I still love coming here on the regular. If you're craving something sweet, you have to try their chocolate chip cookie (get it warmed). Whenever my friends visit from out of town, this is their go-to spot for coffee, espresso martini, and grabbing a quick bite. The inside (both coffee room and cocktail room) are so cute and fancier than you'd expect! Highly recommend coming here and checking out both the cafe and cocktail room!

It's been a year since I was here last. The first time I went, the food and drinks were great but the service was really subpar. Wasn't greeted when we sat at the bar and the bartender just stared blankly at us. I wanted to give it another try since the food was good the last time around. Since I was downtown getting some paperwork in order, I stopped by and ordered a salad using their kiosk system. The space was still cute and very Instagrammable, and there were people enjoying lunch and working from their laptops. I got my salad to-go but decided sit down and eat it instead. To my dismay, the salad was not fresh. The lettuce used was old and started turning brown around the edges. Like, really? Very disappointing.Just stick to the basics, their drinks, pastries, and sides are good. Forego anything with lettuce/salad. They definitely do not use fresh ingredients.
