Robert’s Westside is your new favorite home for live music & community events. Showcasing artists of all generations and genres, bringing everything we love about diversity in programming to a community filled with music lovers. We want to invite you all to engage with your neighbors, explore new genres, and see groundbreaking touring artists.
Though we are primarily a live music venue, we also serve as a welcoming neighborhood bar. We are a home for families to gather for their milestone achievements and celebrations of life, as well as a space offered for non-profit fundraisers and mutual aid benefits. We feature handmade cocktails, craft beers and premiere NA drinks to provide all patrons choices to maximize their experience.
Robert’s Westside was founded and is operated by Donnie Biggins, a lifelong Oak Park and Forest Park resident. You are familiar with his work booking the American Music Festival, keeping music alive during the pandemic by curating community pick-up truck & drive-in concerts and programming the annual Oaktoberfest in Downtown Oak Park. Biggins brings his 15 years of experience in organizing community events and live entertainment to his forever home on Madison Street.
In 2024, Robert’s will host Food Aid – a two day music festival to combat food insecurity in Forest Park, Oak Park and our surrounding communities. You should expect more news about a new dining experience paired with another stage, and hundreds of opportunities to connect with your neighbors while enjoying music, food, good drinks and conversation.
