Robin's Nest Rhythm and Blues celebrated it's Grand Opening on Friday, March 12, 2010. Linden and the entire Northeast US, were experiencing a weather event which can only be described as a "Winter Hurricane".
With Rob Paparozzi, Bernard Purdie, and The Hudson River Rats headlining, more than 100 friends braved the conditions of the night. And that is where the story begins.
Robin's Nest mission is to bring our guests quality food and drinks, with quality live blues entertainment.
Featuring LIVE music 6 nights a week, we wish to share our love of the blues with as many people as possible. And it is hoped that, the blues experience will be passed on to future generations.
Robin Bacote
Owner
Originally from Bronx, New York, my family has been in the club and restaurant business for years.I have always loved music and began singing when I was eight for the Bronx Borough Wide Chorus. I went on to sing for local radio stations. When my father died in 1987, it devastated me and I stopped singing for quite a few years. I graduated from Old Dominion University and then went on to a career with with Verizon. Years later, after retiring from Verizon, I decided to follow in my family's footsteps and own a club of my own.
I love Blues music, and all its variations. I pictured a "Juke Joint" with everyone having a great time dancing and getting down home. When I met Eric, who also loved the Blues, he helped me to achieve my dream.
My love for Music,People and Food is now called ROBIN'S NEST RHYTHM and BLUES.
Eric "The Blues Dude" Knox
Eric T. Knox aka "The Blues Dude" was absolutely instrumental in the creation and development of Robin's Nest Rhythm & Blues! He worked in conjuction with Robin in helping realize her dream and was a big part of the energy, vibe and experience that is now synonymous with Robin's Nest!
Eric's sudden passing on January 7, 2012 was a shock to all who knew him. Those of us who were lucky enough to share time with Eric know that he treated everyone like family and loved music, musicians and people alike! He worked tirelessly to help build and promote The Robin's Nest, and did everything he could to make us all feel at home when we step foot inside "Da Nest"!
Eric was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame as a LEGENDARY BLUES AMBASSADOR from New Jersey in 2012 and his spirit can be felt everytime you are at The Nest!
Eric T. Knox will live on forever in all of our hearts and if you are lucky, sometimes you can almost see him standing in the corner behind the bar with that big huge smile overseeing the good times at The Nest!

Just a few Reviews from our fans -
*****We had a GREAT time last night. For a bit more than the price of a movie, we enjoyed 3 hours of live music, and what wonderful music it was! My friend is a big Monkees fan and I've accompanied her in the past to see Peter Tork, Davy Jones, or Mickey Dolenz when they were appearing individually at one venue or another, but NEVER have I enjoyed a place as much as Robin's Nest. The food, the drinks, the music, and most importantly, the obvious love the proprietors have for the place, makes it a unique (and amazingly low cost) place to spend the evening. Will definitely be back with my husband and friends in the future.---signed Michele Acerra via fb
*****☻☺☻☺☻ When we think of music clubs in NJ we think of the "same ol same ol" but the Nest was perfect in every way. Its like talking a walk into the past and into some small town in the Mississippi delta. From the moment you walk through the door and see the hand carved bar and tin ceiling you get a feeling that you have come home. Small in stature but HUGE in style and sound the Robin's Nest is the perfect intimate setting for your favorite tunes, food and drink. Linden never sounded so good. GREAT JOB!---signed Richard Hoffman via fb
*****The Robin's Nest is absolutely the best place to hear live music. Top notch performers. The friendliest atmosphere. Eric and Robin are super people. Just incredible. I have never had anything short of a great time there. Plus, if I get there and haven't eaten, the food is excellent. Let me not forget to mention the great quality sound system. Absolutley love it. I rock all night when I'm there. And you never know who's going to join the band from the audiance. Amazing, fun filled place. The Nest is the best. Bar none.---signed Michael Wilczewsk via fb
