Bin 36

I've eaten here several times (once on New Year's Eve), and have always had a good meal, but the real reason to visit is their outstanding wine collection. Wait staff and sommeliers are very helpful with the wine selection. You can order by the bottle, glass, or try a flight (small tastes of several bottles). They have a very cute store with wine accessories up front, although the items tend to be overpriced. The bar is a very fun, busy spot and attracts the biggest crowds. You can probably have better food elsewhere in the city (try Blackbird, Alinea, Charlie Trotter's, Cafe Bernard), but this location is close to the House of Blues, so if you've got tickets for a concert, this is a perfect spot for a little pre-concert dinner or a post-concert cocktail. more

Bin 36 is a wine shop and restaurant found across from the epicly ugly House of Blues. It's spacious and nicely lit inside. I didn't examine the menu, because we were there for a cheese platter and wines to accompany them. Our waitress was very nice, and not at all pretentious. We basically said "we want tasty cheese and wines that go with them, and we don't want to spend a massive amount of money," and a little while later 6 delicious cheeses and 6 good wines arrived at our table, complete with little cards that described what we were eating and drinking. We had a satisfying amount of food and drink, and the total was $37-- not an every day sort of thing, but very nice for a special occassion (I was being taken out for my birthday.) more

Everything here is awesome! I love the food, and for special occasions like Valentine's Day they have a set menu with several different courses and wine pairings. Very romantic! You can order pre-selected or custom-made flights of wine, or order by the glass or bottle off of their extensive list. There's also a cheese menu where you can order flights of cheese or just opt for individual selections. I can get full just by coming in and eating cheese and wine! It's really that good, but it's nice to save room for dinner too. more

Bin 36 is a great place to for many things. Breakfast here is really good. They have quick service and you can easily walk in here and pick up a fresh baked goodie and a cup of coffee and go. For Lunch, they have awesome salads and sandwhiches here. Plus, after work, you can go here and enjoy some wine with coworkers or friends. Cool thing is that all the entrees come with a wine suggestion that brings out the flavors of the food. Pretty cool concept! more

My favorite part of the Bin 36 menu are the flights of wine. They even provide a card to write down your thoughts on each glass. They also have specific wine recommendations for every dish, which are always fabulous and the waitstaff is quite knowledgeable! I recently had the trout and asparagus salad, which were quite tasty. Don't overlook the desserts either--they are small but quite artistic. more

Bin 36 is a mix of a wine bar and restaurant. The food there is alright but the real reason you should go there is if you are a lover of wine. They have different wines stretching from the floor to the ceiling on a huge wine rack and I'm pretty sure they have more elsewhere. If you are looking to go there to buy wine(they have a store area also) I would say chances are you wont be able to find you favorite hidden gem because there wine selection in the store are is very limited more
