HOLY this place literally gives the BIGGEST POUR of wine... I'm def not a light weight but I swear I had 3 glasses and I was doneeee for the night. Service was 10/10 and ambiance was superrr cozy and cute. I'd def recommend this place if you want a good pour of wine for a good price. Maybe not so much if you're super picky with your wine though... the wine list didn't seem too big. read more

Bin 71 - Wine - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Long story short: my husband used to come here about 12 years ago and had really fond memories of it. So when we were back in town, we decided to stop in--fully expecting to have just one drink and move on. That plan did not happen. We ended up staying a couple of hours, ordering food, and having many drinks. Bin 71 is mostly a wine bar, with a few beers mixed in, and it definitely feels like a locals spot. The bartenders knew a lot of the people coming in, which added to the friendly, laid-back vibe. It's very small, so it can get cramped, but in a cozy, everyone's-in-it-together kind of way. Food-wise, we were pleasantly surprised. I ordered the grilled cheese and my husband got the fish soup (cod, I think?). Both were delicious, but that grilled cheese was spectacular--honestly way better than expected from a wine bar. I'm not much of a wine drinker, so I won't pretend to give a detailed wine review, but everything we had was enjoyable. What really stood out was the atmosphere. We ended up chatting with other people at the bar, and the whole experience was just genuinely fun. If you're looking for good wine, surprisingly great food, and a friendly local vibe, this place is worth checking out. Maybe don't go wildly out of your way for it--but if you're in the area, absolutely stop in. read more

Chloe and Issey rock. Attentive service. Intimate neighborhood wine bar. If you fancy a cup of coffee, they've got a coffee machine. Hungry? There's food options. There are coasters (use is optional) where you can share if you're single or not. Fun times! Credit accepted. read more

The food and atmosphere is very good. Note that the kitchen closes around 9 PM on weekends, even though they pour fine wine much later. read more

This place is perfect. It's the best UWS neighborhood spot and there's a reason it's always packed. They have an amazing wine list that changes with the seasons and the service is spectacular. This is my go-to spot for when family comes into town, date night, or even to read a book by myself after work. Everything on the menu is phenomenal and I truly couldn't recommend Bin 71 enough! read more

One of my favorite wine bars on the UWS! Very cute and cozy interior without feeling too cramped. Good and reasonably priced glasses, one of my personal favorites is the dry riesling. Service is always great and the food options are fun and delicious. read more

We got the cod sandwich and the chicken sandwich and both of them were excellent. Would recommend.

Sat outside and had a lovely night! Great atmosphere for a casual get-together. I was so pleasantly surprised by how amazing the food was, as I assumed the drinks were more the focus of this place. Good service, too, and friendly staff. read more

Decent food & good service. It was a bit of a wait (clams took 15-20 mins - we were ok with that), but they brought EVERYTHING out at the same time - including our soup. There was so much stuff on the table we had to ask them to bring the burger back to the kitchen until we were at least done eating our soup. Strange they'd bring apps out at the same time as the meal. Food tasted ok. Wished the olives were warm but overall they were fine. The burger was my favorite. The mushrooms and cheese really brought the flavor out. read more

My favorite local wine bar in the UWS! An amazing list of wine that does not disappoint. Love the vibe and has an outdoor seating (great for summer and date spot!). The food is pretty good too and the service. read more

Finally stopped into this neighborhood spot around 9 on a Friday. The inside bar was still crowded but we were informed that the kitchen had stopped serving food. A bit disappointing but understandable, so we ordered two glasses of wine anyway. Both were great! Typical wine bar pricing, around $15/glass. About 5-10 mins later we were told it was last call which made us feel a bit like we had to rush. The posted hours were open til 11pm so I'm not sure if this was typical or not. I'd be back to try the food, just remind myself to get there earlier! read more

ADORABLE quaint Upper West Side wine bar. I went there for dinner last week and sat by myself at the bar and had the best time! The bartender was SO friendly and they had a great playlist on that everyone was enjoying. I ordered the salmon entree. The portion was surprisingly huge and it was maybe the best salmon I have ever had in my life. I wasn't expecting the food to be above average. It is pricey but worth it. :) read more

Come here sometimes for work meetings or after work drinks/snack and it's a solid little neighborhood spot. Wine, food and space are all pleasant and worth checking out. read more

I've been coming here for almost 20 years and I can't believe I've never left a review. Wonderful wine selection. Very friendly staff are great to giving recommendations and let you taste and test the wine before ordering one. Generous pours. And the food is meticulously prepared, and also great choices. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Pretty cozy wine and beer bar. Had a small bowl of marinated olives and a glass of Douro. Of course, as with anything NY, the cost is a bit much, but the olives and wine were very good and the service was attentive and friendly. Go for a glass... or two. Heard the octopus is excellent, but I was only there to wait for a friend. read more

Love the service. Girls so attentive and sweet. Food and wine was good. Noce enviroment. Will def come back.

Cod sandwich is to die for!! Highly recommend this spot! A gem on the UWS with great service and ambiance!

I'm surprised by the lack of love here. No, it's not the most revolutionary wine bar ever to happen to the UWS, but on this strip of Columbus where you don't have many bar options more upscale than The Emerald Isle, I'm glad its around. It's the little sister to the more cavernous Barcibo on Broadway and we found it after big sis told us it would be a 20 min. wait. The warm New York night called for white, so I ordered a nice Viognier with some grilled calamari. Both very good, but neither outstanding. Mostly, this is a cozy little place to come for a date, a friendly conversation, and some choice people watching on Columbus. A few people I knew strolled by and said hi. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday evening at all. read more

Bin 71 - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

A general lack of service and underwhelming food makes this a three-star place. Bin 71 is a small place, its outdoor seating the major draw in the summertime, indoors is nothing but a bar, no tables at all, which I find odd. I wasn't greeted at the door, had to make eye contact with someone and see if it was ok to sit at one of the tables outside. Was brought a glass of water and had my drink order taken by a waitress, but I guess her shift must have ended because I never saw her again. Someone else took my friend's order and we had to flag someone down to put in a food order. He wasn't too thrilled to give me his opinion when I was trying to decide between two items. I was disappointed that my trout was indeed a smoked trout, must have missed that in the description and it was indeed an appetizer portion. If you're hungry, don't come here because you'll leave hungry. And the menu is limited and has an assortment of weird things that seem to lack a theme or rhyme or reason. Back to the bad service - not once did anyone come by to refill my water. And we had to flag the guy down again to get the check and wait forever for him to come pick up our credit cards. Bin 71 is good only if you want to sit at a cute outdoor place, people watch and have a small bite and a glass of wine. read more

Not at a bad place! People are nice. No one has died I know of. Foods really good they have two types of seating indoor and out read more

Stopped by here Saturday night with my bf for a drink before having dinner at The Ribbon around the corner. Such a great date spot! It's small but cozy and quaint and excellent wine & food selections. Love the dim lighting!! We grabbed a glass of wine and ordered a cheese plate ($19 for 3 cheeses - which were fantastic - and came with yummy toast & a side of jam). Definitely hit the spot for the cheese craving we had and the wine was delish and great pricing. Great service too - our waitress was helpful with cheese selections. Looking forward to returning to order some food - lots of options on the menu. Great date spot for a quick drink - especially if you're heading to The Ribbon down the street after (it's less than 1 block away on 72nd). Not suitable for large groups - essentially all bar tables and bar tops - perhaps could seat 20-25 people in entire bar, at most - but a great neighborhood gem nonetheless! read more

This property is only allowing four people indoors at a time, although no where is this listed on their website, and no one is answering the phone. Estimated wait time for an indoor seat at 5 PM was three hours. These folks might want to update their digital presents. read more

As a visitor to NYC I like to feel like I live here. This is a cozy spot, filled up with locals shortly after we came in. Enough that we shifted our seats to allow a few others to join our large high top family style. We met a nice young couple (with their 10 month old) who were regulars. We tried the smoked blue fish pate and a couple of glasses of Malbec. The flaw I would gig them on is my glass was poured from a bottle which was open ( they poured a taste which was great ) any then they poured my wife 1/2 a glass from that bottle and then open a new bottle to finish her pour. 1. Never do this without tasting it 2. The difference between the 1st and 2nd bottle was dramatic 3. The glass with the end of the bottle was full of the dregs We did each have a glass from the second one so we weren't too upset but a wine bar should know better. The difference between good a great is the details read more

Stocked with great wine and beer options (underrated beer options here). The food is great too. Small bites but delicious all the way around. Good stuff. Great for a date if you can get a seat. Even better when they have the outdoor seating set up. Those seats almost double the size of the small indoor space. read more

Surprised by the low reviews here! Stopped by with a friend for a very late dinner the other night. I had the beet salad and she had pasta with shrimp and a glass of wine. My salad was great! It has baguette with warm goat cheese on the side that sealed the flavors well with the beets. My friend loved her pasta as well. I will return! read more

I've had this draft in my account for months on end. I've been hoping that I'd think of something unique or memorable about Bin 71, but I haven't. I guess that kinda sums up how i feel about this place....it's aite. The wine list is good, but not extensive by any means. It is a happenin' place because whenever I go, it is packed! It is a tiny venue, so it makes it even harder to find a seat. So unless you have a lot of patience or into being packed like sardines, I'd say go to other wine bars on the UWS. read more

This place is one of the best wine bar in the city Reasonable wine selection by the glass , excellent food , i had the home made Gnocchi's with Bolognese sauce , one of the best i ever tasted . I didnt like the Australian non cork bottles , their is enough land down under to grow great cork oak trees ....... read more

We live nearby and decided to give this a try this afternoon. We sat outside (less noisy.) The service was good. The wine selection was good (although nothing from Puglia for which I was in the mood.) The big surprise was the food which was very good. I had the Portuguese octopus which was very savory. We shared a chess platter which was very good. We will return. read more

This is a small wine bar with a great selection of small plates, entrees and wines. It can get crowded but the bar seating is good and the outside seating is especially enjoyable in the summer at any time of the day or evening. The food has always been great, notably the Octopus, Mushroom risotto, Cheese plates and the Burrata Crostini. However, the only thing I Do Not Recommend are the short ribs ravioli. They were not warm enough and are way too watery. Do try the eats mentioned above, the Sparkling Pinot Nair and the apple cobbler! They are mighty delicious. read more

Bin 71 was stumbled upon in between photography classes in Central Park. It's a very cute spot for a date or to catch up with a friend, especially on a summer day or evening when you can sit outside. It is very tiny with just a few two persons table out-front and then a bar inside. Would not suggest a group larger than 4. The food was average- had the buratta and gnocchi which were both okay but nothing to write home about. The wine selection was extensive but slightly pricey average around $15/glass. read more

Bin 71 is a charming wine bar on the Upper West Side perfect for wasting away an afternoon. The inside of Bin 71 is small, and can get very loud when it gets crowded but it has a cozy feeling. The bartenders are always on top of their game, getting drinks and orders out quickly. There is a wide selection of food and wines, I am particular to the Syrah. The cheese plate here is also well priced if you're looking for a snack. read more

Super excited to have found this neighborhood spot. It was always packed when we walked by (indoor and outdoor seating) so we decided to give it a try. There was space at the indoor bar in a separate nook on a Saturday night and the lady was so awesome helping us pick and taste wine and giving generous pours of the one we picked which was a grape we had never tried! Seems like they care about what they do here. Haven't tried the food yet but will definitely be back! read more

I hate the UWS. It's fulla old white stuffy yuk yuks. ...but this spot is golden. The wine selection is terrif and the SQUID SALAD was on par with what I've had in Spain and Portugal. Whaaaaaat?!! Yes. Soooooo gooooood. The 2 bartender chicks were cute...like 35-40 years old and in good shape. The spot is tiny, or intimate if you prefer. There's like 10 bar seats and like 3 tables inside and like 5 tables outside. The bathroom is microscopic...if you are from south of the Mason-Dixon, you ain't gonna fit, fattie. Ok...I may not hate the UWS as much, now. read more

It's good to know what to expect when arriving here (save you some time and hassle). If you are looking for a spacious but quiet wine bar with a staff that will wait at your every move, smile at all times and provide recommendations, you better find another place. If you are looking for a small, loud locals wine bar and you know exactly what you want, then this is your spot. This is what a Cheers bar would feel like if it did a wine bar in NYC. Most patrons are locals and can tell locals, tourists and everyone else apart from each other. There is maybe room for 20 people sitting and another 6-10 standing (shoulder to shoulder) and room for another 10-12 people outside - that's it. Given the small size though, the offerings in terms of glasses, bottles, beer and food is pretty generous. There is a strong exponential correlation here between the temperature and crowd size so be prepared to find another wine bar if you come during peak times. If you are a dark beer fan you will like the porter they have on tap (not sure if it's offered year round or if it's seasonal though). read more

I've been here twice now. Very intimate and comfortable setting. Staff and owner are fun, attentive and engaging. Music is in the background, allowing you to carry on a conversation, but just loud enough that you can enjoy it. Cheese and meat platter selections are awesome and they really made the entire experience special. Wine menu is extensive and has something for everyone. If I lived closer, I'd spend a lot of time in this gem. We haven't explored the food menu further. Next time... read more

This place is all right, except that it seems that if your bar specializes in wine, you ought to be able to say something about the wine -- no matter the ineptness of your clientele. And I admit upfront that we are not connoisseurs of any sort. (We appreciate.) So we go into Bin 71 (after a depressing wait at Wine & Roses up the street, which is another story) and ask the server if she has any recommendations out of the sparkling wines on the list. She looks a little blank and is like, well, what do you like? Well, we just sit there mutely (our bad), but she doesn't follow up further questions, and just kind of stands there continuing to look blankly at this wine list like she's never seen it before. After a while, she goes, "Well, I really like the [$75 bottle]." No further recs. She did know a little bit about the two mid-range bottles on the list once we asked ("really sweet", "red...really rich"), but went back to asserting that she really liked the $75 bottle. Silence. OK. So we sort of blindly picked something else, and it ended up fine. Then we wanted to split the check over 3 credit cards (again, our bad), but she came back with each of the 3 cards charged for the full amount of the bill. Oops. She apologized and claimed she was filling in for someone that night and normally never worked the register. Fine, we get that; no big. But again, just seems like if you're a wine bar, you ought to have something interesting to say about the wine. read more
