Organized a private event at Bin36 and truly had a phenomenal experience. The service was excellent, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and we truly has a phenomenal time. Would love to do it again.

Don't miss lunch or dinner at this lovely restaurant. The food is fabulous -- make sure to order the Brussels sprout appetizer. We loved the meatball appetizer as well. The burger was great, the salads are good, and the fish sandwich was terrific. We were there for lunch, but with the excellent wine selection, dinner would be fabulous as well! The owner, Enoch, is there a lot and makes sure that everything goes well. I'll be back!

★★★★☆ 4/5
Lovely vibe and decor, great service. Broad and detailed list of wine flights that are extensive enough for anyone to find something they like. Tons of variety of whites, reds, rose, etc. Really enjoyed the Spanish Red flight I had. All food items have wine pairing numbers next to them which was helpful in determining both what wines to get and what food to order. Had the Amish Chicken which was okay, the buttery sauce it was marinated in was delightful, but dessert is where Bin 36 really shines; the $25 option for all of the desserts is a steal, with cheesecake, s'more chocolate, blackberry pavlova and creme brulee

Black owned, best wine selection (tasting) I've experienced in Chicago, and overall I loved the cuisine. I had the duck, it was absolutely divine. This was my first time and It was awesome. Will definitely be returning for possible date nights and just because moments.

This place has the best lunch specials in Chicago. $8 and constantly changing and evolving. Wine selection is among the best in the city and the list isn't anywhere near pretentious. Go here if you like wine more than you like making sure other people know just how much you like wine.

Came here for dinner wanting to try something new. This place is great for those wanting to try wine and cheese pairings. Learned a lot about these different combinations. Food tastes great too - I had the duck confit salad and very much enjoyed it.

This review is for the Bin Wine School. A friend and I took the 101 class because although we're experts at ingesting, we're novices when it comes to the science, history, and vocabulary of wine. All of these things, and more, were made clearer to us by our excellent instructor. There were about 20 students in the class, all sitting around a few tables with fancy munchies, handouts, and of course, wine. The centuries have made wine a complex business so the material is fairly academically challenging, but the instructor made it all approachable. If you've ever wanted to learn more about wines, this is the place to do it!

Made reservations on an extremely busy night. Arrived at the restaurant and was told the reservation had been "lost" despite our email confirmation and that the next table would be over an hour. My boyfriend and I brought our displeasure to the management's attention, and while we considered leaving immediately, we were treated with such kindness from both the owner and the manager that we stayed. Glad we did, as it was a great experience and the food was excellent. Wait staff was attentive and efficient, even when they are swamped. Salmon was excellent. Staff handled our potentially tense situation with the upmost professionalism and kindness.

The food is amazing. My husband and I dined here for our anniversary because we found the Groupon. Our experience was perfect. He had the pork chop and I had the swordfish. We also had to wine flights. The food was perfect and flavorful. I would definitely recommend and I'll definitely return.

The proprietor, Enoch, along with this staff and kitchen were all amazing! We came in on a busy Friday night and sat out on their spacious patio to enjoy some small plates and wines. They did not disappoint! Enoch's knowledge of their wines (both on menu and off menu) was fantastic and you could see the passion he had for it. The service was fantastic and the all the plates we had - octopus, pimento fritters, Brussels sprouts, bbq okra and the burger - were all excellent. It's hard to pick just one favorite! Their wine flights also make it easy to try something new and different. We'll definitely be back again to sit outside this Summer and look forward to enjoying the indoor dining room and bar once the Fall comes. I'd highly recommend Bin 36 for any occasion without reservation. I also hear they're now serving brunch which I look forward to trying soon!
