Great downtown vibe

by EricW1968

My coworkers and I love this spot. It's one of those places that always has a decent after work crowd. Really casual, relaxed service and atmosphere. Good selection of what I think is all Italian wine list. They also serve martinis and scotch. Decent snacks too

• Pros: atmosphere

my favorite after work hang out

by feingoldl08

I usually don't write reviews, but I felt like I should tell people about how great this place is. Its my favorite place to go for a drink after work-and I have my pick being in the financial district. It's the only bar that doesn't have a TV-so right off the bat I liked it. Bin o. 220 always has a decent crowd-young professionals. Never over crowded-just perfect. nice soft music-and really the best place to unwind. At least some things remain consistent in this world right now!

• Pros: ambience
• Cons: small food menu

Great wine, cute little spot

by peterwino

A nice election of wines, a really nice staff. All in all a great wine bar to have in the neighborhood.

wİde selection

by jenkin

This place rocks. The servers are cordial and attentive. They make very good drinks from a wide selection. The atmosphere hits the target unless you like musty smells and chipped paint. The only problem is that the place is small and telling you all about it is going to make my life hell. Maybe I should re-think this.

• Cons: small

great for work functions

by vanessanyc74

Our office had a private party at Bin no. 220 last week, and it was the nicest atmosphere for an event like this.

In my experience, every time my office has a private function the service has been really [poor. I guess that is because the waiters/bartenders don't have to be nice in order to get a tip-its already included! But not at this place, you would never have guessed that the staff wasn't working for a tip-they were so nice and totally accommodating-Even my boss had a good time, and she is very hard to please! Everything was great. Wil definitely plan more after work functions here.

• Pros: great service

Good after-work spot

by Nativeater

Had the red flight of the day and shared the cheese plate. The wine was overpriced, but good. The service was excellent--friendly and attentive. The wines were explained, but the cheeses were not--leading to suprise cheese taste testing...and the cheeses used, while generally highly edible, were all very uniform in texture and color, making for a bland presentation). The large-sized plate was generous enough for three. Was worried there were only stools before going, but there were some comfier tables. Other menu selections looked interesting, but slim. In general, the prices were on par or better than at other wine bars, likely in part because of the ultra-cute and cozy, but remote (in Manhattan at least) location off of South St. Seaport. I would go again.

the perfect bar for women

by letseatouttonight5

me and my girlfriends love going to this place, we always share a bottle of wine with a cheese plate. It's totally relaxing, no waiter trying to rush you out, no men trying to pick you up, no tv showing sports. It's like the perfect bar for women-and as it turns out 2 women own it, so I guess they built it that way! Way to go! and as a perk the guy who works there is very cute and so charming.

• Pros: atmosphere
• Cons: none

Cozy Spot with great service, wine and cheese

by breezenyc

This place rocks! They have a great selection of drinks and the most delicious cheeses with different dipping choices. The staff was extremely friendly and very happy to help us with wine selection. They played a great selection of music but not so loud that you can't have a conversation. I will definitely go back there.

• Pros: Ambience, friendly service and great selection of wines
• Cons: none

I love this place!!

by jayturner68

Brought a date here last night, and she loved it, and I reaped the benefits. So thank you Bin no 220! The wine, lighting and music really set the mood! If things dont work out with this one, this will definitely be my 3rd date spot!!!
