Sneak Peek: Robust downtown
December 20th 03:12pm, 2012
Robust’s new location is opening this weekend. The restaurant, wine bar and gift shop, owned by Stanley and Arlene Browne, is located at 635 Washington Ave. Robust is part of the Mercantile Exchange, a block of property located downtown between 6th and 7th Streets that includes a Pi Pizzeria, MX Movies and will soon house several more restaurants, stores and The National Blues Museum.
The Browne’s hope to have their new Robust location open for regular service as early as tomorrow night, but they suggest calling ahead at 314.287.6300.
Hours of operation will be similar to Robust’s Webster Groves location. The restaurant and wine bar will be open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight; Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.; and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Check Robust’s website for hours for the gift shop.
