Avoid this place. Non-existent customer service. I purchased $190 worth of alcohol and they sent me bottles that were past their expiration date. I have been chasing them and emailing them constantly for over a month but not a single reply. I've gone into the shop in person to follow-up and they said they would respond, but again, no response. read more

Nice selection. Helpful staff. Went in because I was visiting someone in the area. Asked my price range, my preferences and selected a nice wine that was enjoyed by my hosts. read more

Nice selection of good kosher wines staff are very friendly and professional plus knowledgeable.

So if a young couple walk in and they ask you about the price of a specific liquor, you don't answer them with "it's expensive"!! I asked you how much and you responded "very expensive"! Maybe don't be a rude standoffish d*** and answer the question with a number! If we are looking for it then we can afford it! You are hands down one of the worst, rudest liquor store that i have ever walked in the New York City! read more

I've been looking for a Wine store that has a variety of wines and doesn't overcharge. This is that place where you can find some delicious wines at reasonable prices. The selection is great that you can find a nice bottle of Cab or Sauvignon, etc. depending on what you're in the mood for. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for some great wine at reasonable prices. You may end up buying more bottles than you went in for but Wine is fruit and fruit is healthy for you! read more

This is a GREAT little wine shop! The selection of wines is really good, from high to low end. The choice of spirits is also excellent and if they don't have your brand, they will suggest a decent equivalent. Nice variety of single malt scotch, too. HELPFUL, FRIENDLY STAFF!!! Decent prices. Lots of cold wines ready to go! Regular wine tastings. Sign up for email and you will get useful alerts re: tastings and specials. --Forget the store on Freedom Place if you live in the neighborhood...cold, boring & pricey and they don't bother engaging. I also agree with UWsider m. that Ehrlich's is a joke.-- We LOVE Bin 70 so far!!! Hope it is really successful and serves our burgeoning neighborhood for a long time to come! Yay!! read more

The store is still excellent from a selection and price point perspective, but the current staff is unfriendly. I'm there every week and scarcely ever get a "hello," much less a "thank you" after my purchase is registered. I'm considering going elsewhere for a while. read more

Minus one star for the prices on spirits - they're honestly a good 15%-20% steeper than nearby shops (e.g. Beacon Wine or 67 Wine), which is odd because the wine prices are totally competitive. But for wine, there's no better place in the 'hood. Selection is clearly well thought-out, as virtually every bottle I've had has impressed. read more

I don't that much and when I do buy something, I end up drinking it very slowly. I drink whiskey so I can't be chuggin' the stuff (I shouldn't... but I certainly could down..) every night. Thing is, this place is close to where I live and stocks a decent selection of whiskey. It's not the closest, which doesn't have that much whiskey... and it's not the cheapest, but Bin 70 Wine knows what they're talking about. Normally, I'd go into a liquor store and pick what I'm looking for or just randomly grab something to try. At Bin 70, I can talk to the guys about whiskey and they'd recommend me different things to try. Another surprise was their sake and soju selection too. I don't go to that many liquor stores to actually compare but I was taken aback by the variety of stuff they can pack into such a small store. Just two blocks away from my apartment, friendly staff, good selection for the things I like to drink. Hell, I'll keep coming back here. No questions asked. read more

Always Friendly service and great selection. My favorite wine shop in UWS. Dog-friendly. Just a great spot.

-- Great selection: even has Soju that is difficult to find in Korean markets! -- Friendly service: eager to help when asked with customer's price range in mind I've been to the store several times and always left happy and pleased! read more

There are two wine shops in my immediate vicinity, however, I walk the few extra blocks to Bin 70 for the stellar customer service and more competitive prices. I'm not exactly a wine aficionada, but the employees are always great at making recommendations in a non-intimidating way. Hok (or Hak), one of the staff members, knows me and can usually recall what I purchased during my previous visit - Little things like that make all the difference for me. read more

When I went in to buy a bottle of tequila with my wife, they asked me for my ID and I produced it, they then threw my wife out of the store for not having ID. Very rude, there are a lot of better wine shops in the area. read more

I would have written this review last night, but we were too busy enjoying this lovely establishment's wares. ...that may be all I need to write, but I'll go on. This place has some of the friendliest, most helpful staff I've ever encountered in a wine/liquor store. Good variety on both, as well, which is rare! The sections are clearly labeled and the store is laid out with space to wander. The salespeople will answer any questions you have and make (excellent, in my experience) suggestions. I was impressed with the range of wines they carry for a smaller storefront. And I will say again, FRIENDLY STAFF. People often take a long time and ask many questions in wine shops before buying, and these folks will both greet you and check you out with a smile. That's a big deal to customers, especially when you go in willing to spend up to $80 on a bottle for a nice dinner but don't know what would be quiiiiiiiiiite right and need someone to help you decide! (Yes, this was me. I admit it.) I haven't been to any of their tastings but see signs for them all the time and really, it's a tasting. You can't go wrong. What I can attest to is that their sales are fantastic. I was very pleased that when I bought the cheapest sale wine in the section to make warm-weather coolers with, it was a very good wine. We wound up drinking it straight and enjoying it, I don't recall the last time I've said that for a wine priced in the single digits. read more

Nice addition to the neighborhood and in a great location. Friendly and informed staff. I will be back.

A friendly neighborhood liquor store. The selection of wines & spirits are hugeee. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the UWS. I am a wine newb and needed to pick up a few bottles for a holiday party. I walked in clueless and asked for help. They were eager to help and suggested a variety of different wines at different price points for me, explained the taste and gave me some background. The four bottles of wine I walked out of there with was a huge hit. Will definitely be back! read more

I like this place a lot because they have variety selection of wines. And even though I don't know much about wines, the guys who work at the store are very kind and suggest me some good wines all the time. And I think one of the worker is pretty cute. Anyways one of the greatest thing about this store is that they have wine tasting hours, during this hours they have different wines set up for customers to taste. I think this wine tasting is helpful for ppl like me who doesn't really know about wines. read more

Great neighborhood wine shop. All the recommendations from here have been spot-on. From the $10.99 Sauvignon Blanc to the Kosher Barbera D'Alba we needed to bring to a guest's home. Free delivery is also a huge plus. I called to order 6 bottles and it was at my apartment (no charge, just tip) within 20 min. read more

Best little wine store ever! With so many choices on the UWS, Bin 70 beats them all. The owner takes a personal interest in you and remembers you. Great selection, you can create an account for ease of checkout (eh hem, so I've heard), and quick delivery for those emergency wine situations. I can't say enough great things! read more

If you know what you want to buy and pay the steep prices go to this store . Under any curcumstences ask for advice on the wine selection : they will sell you something undrinkable ... rude and take out the pleasure and fun of shopping in the store. read more

Service, selection and competitive prices make this our first choice in wine stores. Oh, and the fact that a delivery comes faster than a pizza. Seriously, Hak and his crew have everything that we have been lacking here on West End Avenue. We always make sure that when someone says "what can I bring?" we send them to Bin 70 and we are never disappointed. Bravo! read more

I have had two awful experiences at this place both because of the terrible customer service I experienced with the owner. After the first bad experience (which I excused, giving him the benefit of the doubt), I should've known better than to repeat the same mistake twice. If you are looking for something particular and need the assistance of the staff I would recommend going elsewhere to avoid dealing with the incompetency and arrogance of the staff here. I was beyond dissatisfied with the my overall experience while in the store and will never return again. The prices are above average and the selection is mediocre at best, to add to the main reason for which I will refuse patronage there. Oh and also, I know for a fact they are selling liquor without checking ID, especially if you order for delivery. Do not support a business which sells to underage kids. BOTTOM LINE- Do yourself a favor and avoid the hassle, GO ELSEWHERE! read more

I live on 70th and West End Ave, and as a total oenophile, wanted to make sure all know that Bin 70 Wine Store had its grand opening 2 weeks ago (with balloons, tastings, and food pairings to match). Everyone who works there is my kind of wine lover....open, welcoming and they have taken the "snobbery" out with the cork. Awesome. Wine stores for me are like Barnes and Noble and they accommodated with no problem. Prices are fair....selection is boutique in style but hits all the "highway" wines. I want to see this store succeed. And just so you know, I am not employed by them nor have any affiliation. I am just a wine lover that wants this "hood" to have a great place to go...no attitude, fair prices, great selection, no bull. And if you read this and are a shopper at Ehrlich's on the corner of 70th and Amsterdam, please know you are getting ripped off each and every time you enter that store. They make me incredibly angry because it is stores like that that give wine a bad name...67Wine, Beacon and Bin70 all have prices that are at least 15% cheaper and far better selections...Keep in mind I am not even delving into the curt and useless people who work in Ehrlich's. GO TO BIN 70. They give you a 15% discount when you order a case and delivery is free too!!! Cheers, ya'll. read more

Since this store is in my neighborhood, I was looking forward to buying my elderly parents, who were with me, a decent bottle of wine for the New Year. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The staff recommended a bottle of wine that was undrinkable and tasted like vinegar. When I came back to the store to complain to the manager of the store, he was both rude and insensitive to both my elderly parents and me. Very disappointing to say the least. read more

I love this place. It's right across from my apartment building, has great prices, a friendly staff, a good selection, and regular (generous) tastings. They're open on Sundays now, too! read more

Bin 70 is a great find with excellent variety, good value at both the high end as well as lower. The shop is very well organized & fun to browse around. It's a got a boutique feel & cool vibe with a very friendly staff. You can listen to cool music while you're there too. If you're in a hurry & need a solid recommendation, the staff can do that while respecting your budget (something I really appreciate). They're very friendly to everyone from the harried mom, couple looking for a dinner wine, the older folks.... The shop has regular wine tastings & have a convenient Sunday schedule too. I'm glad Bin 70 is in the neighborhood. read more

This is our favorite wine store in the neighborhood. Hak is the best....friendly, engaging, and honest when it comes to recommending wines. We always order from there and never disappointed. Truly a great wine store. read more

Great wine shop! The proprietor has selected very good wines in all categories and price ranges. The prices are discounted and the wines have been chosen with care. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Love this place - great staff, decent selection and prices. A sure bet for those of us on the far West Side who need a nice local option for picking up a quick bottle of wine before dinner. read more

Super friendly staff. All seem well informed or make an effort. Prices are very competitive. I like the selection and they are open to bringing in new brands and varietals. read more

My wife and I have lived in NYC for over 8 years and Bin 70 is the single best retail vendor experience we've had! The owner and his staff are beyond friendly and extremely helpful. Their selection is great, recommendations were always spot on and delivery was fast every time. We were lucky enough to know the owner at his original store in Chelsea and funny enough he opened the West End store right after we moved to Riverside Blvd. We are off to the burbs in Connecticut this week, but will definitely miss calling Bin 70 for our weekly order! read more

The most horrible customer service I've ever experienced anywhere in my life! Brought a bottle back that was corked & was accused of pouring something into the bottle. I was appalled & amazed!! I asked for an exchange & was asked to leave the store repeatedly & then accused of having recently brought back a bottle of Yellow Tail. First, I don't drink Yellow Tail & second, I've never been in this shop b'fore. The owner refused to exchange or credit and worse - refused to entertain the notion that I was and am TELLING THE TRUTH!! I am a former New Yorker in town as my husband just had lung surgery at Memorial Sloan. Truly awful wine experience. read more

The place has a great selection of wine and the staff, especially Hak, is simply awesome. We live 10 blocks away from the store but because the staff is accommodating, pleasant and importantly, knowledgeable, we rely and depend on the establishment to be our recurring provider of great wines. I am completely surprised and in disbelief of bad reviews because they don't match the caliber of Bin70; go and find Hak! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

You cannot beat the customer service - Hak is great and knows his wines. The prices are reasonable and the selection is excellent.

This looks like a great place, but the manager apparently doesn't honor prices posted above the wine bottles, even if his salespeople endorse them. On a first visit here, I asked the very nice sales guy to recommend a good $20 bottle of pinot noir, and he pointed out 3 different suggestions. I chose one of his recommendations, which had a sign below it marked $22.99, and he pulled it off the shelf and tried to ring it up. The price kept coming up as over $30, so he called the manager, who said the bottle was mislabeled, and who refused to honor what his salesperson -- and the sign above the bottle -- had said the price would be. I've never had that experience before! read more

This wonderful store is a great addition for the neighborhood wine lovers. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the shop has a excellent selection with good prices. They make a point to get to know their customers and remember their likes and dislikes. Bottomline? Love these guys and this store!! read more

Great selection of wine and spirits, with exceptional customer service! Everything in the store is reasonably priced and they have a very knowledgeable staff that can help find you the perfect wine or drink for any occasion. The store manager Haksoo is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and makes me feel like part of the Bin70 family every time I walk in - he understands the true value of feeling like a neighborhood store. Hands down one of the best stores and customer experiences you will receive in the UWS! I won't go anywhere else! read more

Best little wine store ever! With so many choices on the UWS, Bin 70 beats them all. The owner takes a personal interest in you and remembers you.

BIN 70 is my wine store of choice. Great staff. Reasonable prices. Good selection. It is a good experience every time!

Very very friendly staff, but as soon as they have your money they will just deny things and dismiss you. I bought a few bottles of wine here and left with them in a box that they gave me, but I noticed they charged me twice for a more expensive bottle and didn't notice because we were all having a conversation. When I went back to tell them about it he immediately started muttering about the cameras and that I took an extra bottle that I didn't. They were very rude and when I asked to see the footage he wouldn't let me. Be very careful with these people. read more
