Bin Wine Bar

A small, quaint wine bar, full of regulars and character.  

Slipping in here right after work, I felt completely welcome around the frequent crowd: the bartender, gave me the lowdown on good apartments to rent, where to eat, etc.; an older patron showed me how to get to the wine bar without ever setting foot outside--through the skyways; and a very nice gal, dressed awesome-ly for a 1920's swing party, hooked her arm in mine and tried to convince me she was the Mayor of St. Paul, and that her friends were her advisers-a Wikipedia search later, begrudgingly revealed to me that she was not.

For nomination in the a good little regular-dominated wine bar, Bin.

Oh, and my Malbec and assorted soft-shell tacos were damn good.

Great place in downtown to grab a glass of wine! Good happy (especially the hours) and relaxed atmosphere.

Interesting wines and a nice menu with good service.!  It's a bit cramped but they do what they can with the limited space.

We've been here a couple of times and have not been disappointed!
