About Gibson of Robertson
Gibson of Robertson is a dining room and cocktail bar at 91 Hoddle Street, in the middle of Robertson's main street. By day it runs as a café with lunch, and from late afternoon it becomes a dimly lit bar serving cocktails and retro mains. The inside is light and airy during the day, with a long run of windows facing the street, large marble tables and a velvet banquette. Out the side, a raised terrace sits among a planted garden and is heated in cooler weather. The whole venue can be hired for a private event, using both the interior and the terrace. It holds up to 65 guests, set up either for a sit-down dinner or as a standing party with canapés. Event food is built around canapés or seated dining, tailored to each booking. The everyday bar menu leans towards share plates, cheeses, vol-au-vents and small snacks, which gives a sense of the kitchen's style. The bar pours its own cocktails and mocktails, wines by the glass and local beer on tap, and functions can run on cocktail and drinks packages. The owner, Adam Towers, has a long background in running venues and private events and keeps a list of entertainers he can book for a party. Packages are put together for each event rather than sold off a fixed list. To start planning, send an enquiry with a few details about the date, numbers and style of night.
