This is a fun venue. It's a little bit small, well, it's long and thin. They have several televisions, and the music playing was rock. I'd call it a wine & sports bar. Truly unique. The employees are so nice. I ordered a wine that they didn't have a full glass of, so they gave me what they had and gave me a discounted glass (to the price of what I'd ordered). Then a band came in. They were good, but it was loud. read more

Matt & Brian are artists that perform live at this establishment and anyone considering coming here who has not experienced it needs to walk not run whenever he is performing. The ambience is quaint and intimate. This wine bar has been part of the Oklahoma City community for over 20 years owned locally with a warm and friendly vibe. A variety of spirits to choose from as well as a wine tasting every month with a full course meal. read more

This is and has always been one of my favorite "hidden gems" in Okc, and not for drinks, but the food. The cheeseburger is delicious- fresh ground beef, with just the right juiciness. The salsa and green chile queso is a great starter. If you're looking for a great lunch spot that isn't too crowded, definitely stop by Bin 73 read more

Bin 73 - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Tapas Bars Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

It's okay to go to sometimes. I prefer a more lounge style spot here and there. The food I've tried was decent as well. I've definitely been on days where I didn't feel so welcomed or the service wasn't the best but it's still somewhere I'd go back to. read more

Very sub par...food was pretty generic-tuna was super peppered-tables were sticky feeling, even though we were 1 of 2 tables there at this time-guy out front smoking when we arrived ended up being the cook. Looks to be kind of run down-I was hoping for a bit more class when someone recommended this place, but def not much of that at all. read more

Tucked away on Western Avenue, you'll find Bin 73. It's a great, cozy spot to catch up with friends, sip on wine, and enjoy some light bites. Long ago, I had a friend take me here to sample wine by trying their wine flights. I just like the intimacy of this place. It's a cute spot to take a friend or hang out with a date and you're not going to have to deal with it being super loud and crowded like some bars. However, I was a little disappointed with their happy hour. I called ahead the previous day to see if they offered happy hour specials and was told they had HH deals on beer, wine, mixed drinks and appetizers. But when I got there, I was told they just offered $2 domestics and half priced hummus and queso. I'm just mentioning this so people will know what to expect. There was a silver lining however, we scored a good deal on the food anyway because we happened to come on game day for OSU and they were giving away free burgers. I was told they would be doing that all season for both the OU and OSU games so that's something to keep in mind if that tickles your fancy. It's also something to keep in mind if you're looking for a chill atmosphere... On game days, it will be less chill and feel more sports bar-y. It was still laid back, but didn't feel quite as quaint. Well, that's my (almost) Fall 2018 Bin 73 update for you! Overall, I do think it's a gem. I would recommend trying it if you haven't. read more

We attended the Argentinean and Chilean wine tasting. We have been to two other wine tastings there a few years back that were presented by a different group. I'll start by saying I like Bin 73. It's a fun bar and the food is tasty but last night was disappointing. The bartenders have always been excellent and last night was no different. We were shown to our seats right away. The atmosphere is fun. Great music and ambiance. We arrived around 10 till 7 as the tasting was to start at 7. The issue I have is the people putting on the tasting stood over at the end of the bar talking amongst themselves until after 7:20. No interaction or explanation from them. I assume they were waiting for the small plate of tasting foods to arrive. Just a simple announcement from them would have gone a long way. The foods came out and while delicious the plates were not complete. If memory serves right the tasting plates were seemingly rushed the two prior times too. I think it is an issue with the number of people that attend filling the bar up. My plate was missing the empanada (which once I mentioned it I received one) and my friends was missing the chimichurri on his. Not a deal breaker but after waiting to start it was disappointing. The three presenters stayed in their corner eating their appetizers for most of the night instead of interacting. The wine was fabulous. The food was great and perfect with the wine but the "experience" was less than awesome. I'm not sure we will go back for another. read more

Leann R. Does not speak the truth. I was having a glass of wine while this ordeal went down. She was kicked out for being aggressive and extremely rude. Disorderly if you will. Calling random patrons (she didn't even know) hideous names. Bin73 is an open bar they accept all people and their life styles. read more

This place is BEYOND terrible! Only 4 guys at the bar when we walked in. When my sister walked in by herself the manager/bartender said quote" you're so beautiful I'll lock the door behind you and we can have a private party". When I walked in, he complimented me on my looks and then how good I smelled. Yuck! He also said they had no food, which their online menus claim. This is the worst experience I've ever had! How creepy! He also mentioned that the owner was one of the 4 guys. Beware if you're a woman going in by yourself. We obviously left ASAP! read more

There was a guy dipping tobacco at the bar and I asked why I had to go outside and Vape when there is an individual absolutely dipping tobacco at the bar but yet I have to go outside to Vape so they remove me from the situation because I guess it's better to dip and spit in front of everybody at a bar rather than to appreciate someone who respects boundaries and goes outside to Vape so I just don't get it I was vaping outside but an individual could Depp and spent inside and I was asked to leave wow! Don't come here and that's about the privileged people who get to do what they do inside of the bar when you are the normal person that has to abide by the rules. read more

I love this place- classy crowd, live music, and an excellent wine selection. I've yet to have a bad night at Bin 73!

I came here for happy hour drinks, appetizers & live music and had a great time! The bar is fun it's not my go-to place. Maybe I'll have a chance to go back for an actual meal one of these days. read more

Bin 73 - Tapas Bars Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

From the exterior, you wouldn't expect much from this place. Dark windows = sketchy to me. I want to see what you are up to! You could easily drive by and completely miss the place if it were not for the signage. But once you step in, the place surprises you. The interior is clean and simple. As the name implies, it is a wine bar. They had a large assortment of wines to please any wino all nicely encased in a glass case. And for those who like to pound down hard liquor instead, they had a stocked bar as well. Service wasn't an issue since we were the only group there on an early saturday night. The waitress/bartender was attentive and made a good martini. Our group tried out their food menu. We sampled the bin burger, roasted shallot mash potatoes, bin 73 kettle chips, jerk pork tenderloin, chicken prosciutto mushroom pasta, and pan seared halibut. All were really good and not lacking in flavor. Overall, this is a type of place that I would expect to see in SF/LA. Its nice to know that okc isn't all about cowboys, indians, and bbq. read more

Bin 73 - a sign for a wine bar - Tapas Bars Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Went here for dinner last night. Seriously, the first place I couldn't power through bad food. We sent our meals back and left. Hell, I couldn't even finish my wine. Unseasoned, undercooked, AND over cooked. Such a disappointment. Even the Pinot Grigio we had tasted like water, no flavor in anything! I'm really appalled. The best thing there was the service and that's nothing if everything else is horrible. They comped our meals and drinks. I might be back for drink, maybe, if I'm with other company that might want to come here, but I'm not coming back on my own ever again. I've been here once before for drinks and maybe it was horrible then too, I just couldn't tell because I was already drunk. Which leads me to this, everything tastes great when you're drunk, so if you're drunk and hungry then come here. You'll never know how horrible it is. read more

Great place! So, extremely sweet staff and cook. They were making taco on Tuesday night. Apparently, the grill out every Tuesday. And the taco were amazing! Plus, I have a gluten allergy and the cook was sweet enough to double check everything for me before serving. So, amazing service, great cook, fun atmosphere, and sweet staff. AMAZING wine list, of course!! Anyways, my friend and I will be back. read more

Stopped by here to get some wine and snacks with a friend. We ordered a delicious bottle of pinot noir and a few small plates. We ended up ordering the marinated manchego, spring rolls and short ribs. Everything was delicious. I especially loved the short ribs and marinated manchego. The short ribs were tender and flavorful and the marinated manchego had chopped almonds and a garlic olive oil mixture. I liked the quiet, open atmosphere ( we came on a Tuesday evening). The staff is friendly and the environment is just what I like. Will be back again! read more

This place is awesome!!! Stumbled on to it on a Saturday and so glad we did. Bo was cooking and we had an awesome brunch with wine. New favorite spot. Chill people, relaxed environment, sports, wine and good food. All you need. read more

I dropped by Bin 73 (my neighborhood bar) the other day because my cousin had never been and wanted to. We both sat at the bar and ordered a drink other than wine. The waitresses were cute, but didn't much care for us to be there. They made it a hassle for us to get another drink even though the place was almost empty for happy hour. They were having a wine tasting that night. Group by group everyone showed up and filled the place. The waitress did not ask us to leave, but just forgot about us. That was awkward since we were center of the bar. We probably would have joined in if invited to. I love wine and actually knew the wine distributor who was running the event. Every time someone walked around they would come to us and go "oh" and then skip us. It made us feel horrible and wasn't an inviting experience. I had chosen not to write about this experience until someone had flagged my last review of Bin. They said it wasn't first hand knowledge. This horrible evening was first hand knowledge. I live just down the street and shop at Cambers, Kamp's, and Seasonal Cellars. I don't recommend Bin 73 because it is overpriced, the wine isn't well selected, the food is small, and the staff isn't inviting to me. Go to the Metro down the street for an amazing Chardonnay selection. read more

We went here after attending an event at the country club. There weren't a lot of people here, so the place was quiet. We like quiet places because it makes it easier to talk. The cocktail selection is minimal, but it has some classics like a mint julep and the Manhattan. I had the mint julep and it was spot-on. It was a great blend of bourbon and mint. My fella had the hurricane. It was a little sweet for my taste, but the liquors blended well together. With all the alcohol, it didn't taste like it was full of liquor. This was a good, little bar, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get here. One bar tender was talented. The other was new. We had the hummus and pita for a snack. The hummus came out of a container, it seemed. It was served with celery, carrots, and pita bread. Since vegetables don't go well with liquor, we quickly consumed the pita bread. We asked for tortilla chips. We didn't finish them because they were covered in salt. Yuck. Go here for the drinks, not the food. But like I said, don't drive more than 15 minutes to get here. read more

I was really impressed with Bin 73's happy hour specials: $5 martinis during Happy Hour, which they generously give a 4p-7p Monday-Friday time slot. During that time you can also get $1.75 longnecks and half price on selected appetizers. I had a lemon drop and a cosmo, and both were delicious. Four drinks for $20 -- one martini at a Downtown bar can run you $12-$13, so I consider this a total steal. Our waitress was attentive, friendly and fun. The place git busy the later it got, but we always had everything we needed. The atmosphere is laid back, dark, great for a private conversation with a good friend. It got a little more jumping later on and probably is a pretty fun scene even later in the evening. Parking was super easy to boot. I'll definitely be back! read more

Bin 73 is one cozy place to eat and drink. I love the dim lights, intimate tables and small size of the place. They have great Happy Hour cocktail and appetizer specials from 4-7 weekdays, and their drink and wine list is pretty impressive besides that. The bartenders are friendly and fast with the drinkies. I usually get the chips with the green chili white queso (if you have a Keep It Local card you get a free order!!), and the smoked salmon is uhmayzing. They do wine tastings the first Wednesday of each month and it's a great deal for $20! read more

Really wanted to like this place. However with the focus supposedly on the wine, there wine list is "okay" and their food just isn't up to par with all of the other restaurants in the area. Do yourself a favor and try something else. read more

Bin 73 is like a giant blanket I want to wrap myself in. This isn't the first time I've visited, I've been a few times for happy hour/dinner. It's never loud and always very chill. It's small enough to feel intimate, but big enough that you're not stepping all over everyone. It seems hidden away, like the rest of Nichols Hills hasn't discovered it yet. I was really craving the Queso Rojo - which is a twist on the regular chips and queso. The queso is really thick (I'm assuming made with cream cheese) with just the right amount of spice. There was something to be desired on the chips, they seemed a little stale- but I won't fault them for it because I've had the same appetizer before with no complaints. I ordered the Old Fashioned, which was great, not too strong with the right amount of flavor. My roommate ordered the Strawberry Lemonade, which was really refreshing and could probably be very dangerous. We ended up splitting two tapas dishes - the salmon and bin poutine. The salmon was the winner here. There was something off about the poutine, maybe it was the red wine vinaigrette, but it didn't quite gel with the rest of the dish. The salmon however... I will dream about that dish. Served cold, you spread the salmon on a toast point with a horseradish mayo. So. Good. One time I went and I had the burger and sweet potato fries (my go to) and I remember it being very good. I decided to branch out last night and I didn't quite love it. But that won't stop me from going to Bin 73. The prices are decent, the service is GREAT and I love the atmosphere. Thumbs up for Bin 73! Goals for next time: Try some wines. Order different tapas. Try not to dream about the salmon. read more

I am a huge fan of Bin 73 - While we don't visit often, when we do, it's always an enjoyable experience. They stock a broad range of wines, with tastes and price points accessible to all, and their eats are sooooo very yummy! Highly recommend the tator tots, spicy mac-n-cheese, and Manchego cheese plate (though from our experiences, you can't go wrong with anything you order). The only downside is that the space runs cold and because it's small, it can get insanely loud when the place starts to fill up. If you're looking for tapas-only eats and good wine (or other adult beverages), then Bin 73 will fit the bill perfectly. read more

Inspired by Chicago's Bin 36 (very nice, guys), this is a solid, chic joint housed, like all such places in Oklahoma City, in a hideously ugly strip mall. Don't get too excited - it's solid, but never made the cut for a second visit on my many carousing nights in the OKC. read more

Great selection of wine, beer, and liquor. Service is fast and pours are generous. They have a small food menu. Mostly tapas and small plates. Not really a full meal place. The decor is clean and modern. They sometimes have a DJ on the weekends. The music is good either way. read more

This is the best Burger I have ever had at a restaurant! The food is awesome and the staff is amazing! What a nice find!

Drinks: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Decor & Style: 5/5 Love the live music they had here on Friday night. I only tried some beer and a cocktail so I cannot comment on the wine selection. Great decor and ambience, my only small complaint would be the very narrow feel of this place, makes it hard to go around if you're with a big party or even if the place is half full of customers! Overall a nice relaxing place if you live in this area. I'll be back! read more

Quirky and quaint. This goes on my short list of great, relaxed happy hour spots. Martini specials! Appetizer specials from 4-7. Is this heaven? The bartenders here know how to pour a drink for a somewhat upscale Nichols Hills clientele but with a relaxed style. A menu that is sure to please as well. Excellent variety and portions. Great place for conversation and nibbles. read more

I stopped by Bin 73 for a quick happy hour and I'm glad I finally got to try it. They had both an excellent wine list and a great $5 cocktail list. I was going to try two different cocktails but the lemon drop was so good I ordered a second. We also had an order of spring rolls and two different types of chips and queso-- I liked one better than the other (though I can't remember which now). The menu reads that they are "silky" quesos, which doesn't prepare for the really cream-cheese like texture. Not bad, just different. The only bummer was the chips were a little greasy, but not enough to stop me from eating them. The service was fast and we had a total of 3 people helping our table of six. I like the dark, sort of mysterious atmosphere in there. That makes it a really good pre-dinner drink date and I would happily come back for some after work drinks again. read more

Have always enjoyed! Food, drinks, staff and atmosphere are off the charts. Nice, clean low key place to enjoy a drink and appetizer.

I kept going between 2 & 3 stars for this place. It was clean and nice enough for a small bar. I had looked online at the menu to get an idea of the menu items & price, but when we actually arrived it was a different menu and the prices were higher than what was online. I ordered a chicken mushroom on French bread sandwich which was $10 (sides were additional). It was bland and the chicken seemed like it was precooked chicken. The bread was not French bread but regular bread. My husband ordered the wrap (again $10, no sides included) & all he could taste was the over abundance of shiracha... and he's a big fan of shiracha, but it was even over loaded with it. It took quite awhile to get our food considering it was a sandwich & wrap. We had also ordered a side of fries, which never showed up. They were out of a lot of the local beers. I ordered specialty cocktails were pretty good. Overall though, not a place I would return to. read more

If you're looking for a relaxing place to have a drink and intimate conversation, this is your place. Good wine selection and reasonable prices. Once a month they have wine dinners with small plate pairings. It's really interesting to try a variety of wine you would never choose for yourself and the food is tasty too. Definitely recommend it. read more

Bin 73 - Wine options at the love dinner! - Tapas Bars Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Friendly environment. Amazing short back ribs! We just stumbled on this place while waiting for our daughter to get her hair done a few doors down. I would definitely stop in again if we lived closer. Also , they were giving away free cheeseburgers for the Bedlam game- not sure if that's a regular thing or what. read more

GREAT PLACE! My friends and I go to this place all the time and always have a great time! The wine selection has something for everyone, the liquor selection is huge, & the beer comes in a wide range as well. The food is also good. I absolutely LOVE the Ahi Tuna! It is definitely the best in the city. Most places have removed Tuna from the menu with the rising costs, but Bin 73 kept it on the menu (they just had to raise the price, which I'm more than happy to pay!). The bar staff is great! They are always friendly and attentive. We come so often that the bartenders seem more like friends than servers. Just like with any great bar/restaurant... If you take care of the servers, they will always take care of you! This is also a good place to grab a bite for lunch. They aren't typically too busy so its always easy to get a table and the food USUALLY comes out pretty quick. However, if you are in a hurry this might not be the best place to go; if its busy things can take a little longer. Overall, great restaurant/bar! read more

Bin 73 is a nice place to relax for a drink, but calling itself a wine bar, the wine list was not what we expected. I thought we'd been here a couple years ago or so and seen a huge wine list, but we went in recently and they had maybe six reds and six whites? Not a huge selection for a "wine bar." Service was good and it's a chill atmosphere, but I'm not sure we'd make the special trip here unless we were in the area and wanted a drink. Not bad, but not our favorite. read more

Nice little spot for drinks and light snacks. Came in on a whim with a friend and we split a bottle of Pinot Noir and some small plates (Mongolian short ribs, marinated manchego, and the spring rolls). Everything was delicious! Service was great, and the bar was cozy and casual. This would be a perfect spot for first dates, as the ambiance is quiet and chill. read more

This is the third time I have been to Bin 73 in the last month. We first tried it around the end of July 2012. I have been back so often because their hours are great, and I often don't go out for a cocktail until after 9. I'm always looking for a nice quiet place for a night cap. The added bonus is they serve food pretty late which means my night cap can include dessert. The cocktails are fun and one of my favorite wines is on the menu (Michael David Petite Petit). There is no draft beer. I have only tried their dessert and I'm quite fond of their hand rolled chocolate truffles. Especially since I can buy 1 if I just need a little something sweet, or I can buy 20 for a family style dessert for the table. 1st Visit: Bartender was very friendly, and attentive. We didn't care for the lack of draft beer and the decor is "okay". 4 stars 2nd Visit: I sat at the bar and the bartender didn't recognize me from only three days previous (a big part of getting a regular is a great bartender who remembers you). She was still very attentive and made my friend and I some very yummy and fun cocktails. 3.5 stars 3rd Visit: The cocktail server brought us our bottle of wine, and I began to ask her about dessert. She told me they only had truffles and then she walked away. She did not ask if I would like any... Anyone asking about dessert at 10:45pm probably would like to buy some. I sat back and was sure she would check back. After 15 min I became annoyed and started to stare at her in an attempt to get her attention. That did not work. I then began to lift my hand every time she would pass by in a more pronounced attempt to get her attention. She finally noticed me 11:07 and informed me that they were no longer serving dessert. After a quick exchange (I might have been a bit terse) she decided that they could probably still make the truffles. When she brought them out, both mine and my boyfriend's wine glasses were empty. The next logical step is to ask if we would like another. She did not. I spent the next ten minutes trying to get her attention so we could order another drink. This charade continued until we were finally tired of the poor service. 1 star read more

I visited Bin 73 on a Saturday evening with a friend to catch-up with each other and neither one of us had visited before. I was completely blow away and love Bin 73! The ambiance is great! It was a nice, place to be able to sit down with my good friend, chat, grab drinks, and have some good food with great service. We both acknowledged that it is sometimes hard to find a place where you can sit-down and visit with someone. Most places are loud, too busy, and the wait-staff is very pushy for customers to leave. This was not the experience at Bin 73! While we were unsure of who are waiter was, since we had multiple people come by to help us, regardless the service was great! The waitstaff made sure that our waters were always filled, made sure to check if we would like to have another drink, and if the food was good. I ordered the chips, salsa, and queso to start with and felt that it was okay. It's nothing to write home about. The queso wasn't as cheesy as I would have liked and the salsa is very mild with little to no kick, but I don't hold it against them since this isn't technically on their menu. To drink, I had a red medium-bodied wine from Chile, since my dad says that the best red wine is from Chile, and I really liked. I'm not a wine snob, so I can't really go into too much detail. My friend ordered their flight of wine and said that she really enjoyed. For entrees, I ordered the turkey burger and I think it is delicious! The burger is a very decent size! Meaning the meat is thick. I had to take half of it and the fries home. Let me tell you about the fries! They give a whole basket portion of fries! They don't skimp on the fries. My friend ordered their blackened chicken wrap, as was recommended by the waiter, and she was raving about it as much as I was about my burger. We both had a great experience at Bin 73 and will be coming back to visit. It is honestly really hard to find places like this now a days. read more

Bin 73 has great happy hour specials! $5 martini cocktails with several to choose from, half price appetizers, good deal. I really like how it's decorated, very modern and chic. I came for a networking event with an organization I'm in and we had great service for our modest party of about 8. I didn't get a chance to try any of the food so that will be my mission for next time nor did I try any of the wines! I probably had a non-typical visit to Bin 73 but it was great and I'll defnintely come back. read more
