The Binc

I know most people probably come here for the drinks, but the food was actually delicious. The peppercorn sauce on the steak frites was BEYOND. Would definitely come back for it. The Caesar broccolini was not what I expected, could probably use more sauce but it wasn't bad. The bar is very dimly lit and gets crowded so would recommend going on the earlier side to secure a seat since they don't take reservations and it is relatively small. Overall, nice neighborhood spot!

While walking around the neighborhood, we stopped by here for some drinks after dinner. The interior was dim-lit with a romantic atmosphere as many others were coupled up here as well. I liked that the AC was strong in here since it was a hot day out. We got our water right away, but ordering our drinks took awhile. After waiting 10 minutes and not getting any attention, we ended up ordering our drinks at the bar. As we were waiting for the drinks, a waiter finally came by and asked for our drink order --thanks for nothing. I ended up getting the Southwest Aurora ($18) and the boyfriend got the Oldest Fable ($18). Mine was too tart and his was too bitter. We ended up leaving after one drink since it wasn't in our favor. I also noticed the starters were almost as expensive as the entrees, so food was one the pricey side as well. Although a nice vibe for a romantic night, the service, price, and drinks did not appeal to me otherwise.

Came here for a drink with a friend during happy hour (Monday-Thursday 5-7PM) on a rainy afternoon. They have cocktails for $12.We sat down by the tabletop bar by the window despite some areas were leaking due to the rain. The cocktails are okay, tried the FIGURE OF SPEECH (a decent rye cocktail) and the GORDON'S BREAKFAST, which I actually liked more (it was a bit spicy as it had cholula hot sauce but still good) .I'd like to come back and try the food but the staff is a bit pushyESPAÑOLVine aquí con un amigo para una bebida durante la happy hour (Lunes-Jueves 5-7PM) en una tarde lluviosa. Tienen cocteles por $12.Nos sentamos en la mesa alta de la ventana aunque algunas zonas estaban goteando por la lluvia. Los cócteles están bien, probé el FIGURE OF SPEECH (coctel decente de rye) y el GORDON'S BREAKFAST, que me gustó más (estaba un poco picante por la salsa cholula pero aún así estaba rico).Me gustaría ir otro día a probar la comida pero el personal es un poco insistente

I've been coming to Brooklyn heights for years and have never had the pleasure of visiting The Binc. Tonight I finally stopped in and I am so glad I that I did. My cocktail was perfectly crafted and the bartender was amazing! He made me a second drink based off of the fact that I liked a vodka based drink that wasn't overly fruity. He hit the nail on the head and my drink was delicious! It's got this really cool vibe inside as well. I will definitely be back!

I have a thing for lush dark spaces, especially sipping glasses of bubbly in lush, dark spaces. Especially sipping glasses of bubbly in lush, dark spaces by a front window so that I may look out on the rainy winter evening in Brooklyn. How sweet it is at The Binc.I met a few friends here later in the evening on one such occasion and really enjoyed the environs and my glass of sparkles. The vibe is dark and intimate, as you may have gathered by now, and it wasn't super packed nor loud. I can see that this would also be perfect for a date night.I did not try the food but on my way to the (very nice) restrooms, I made a wrong turn into the adjoining restaurant and was super impressed by the decor. I'd definitely come back to check 'em out if there are vegan options.

Came here on an anniversary date and made it just the tail end of happy hour. It was perfect. For the main we ordered shishito peppers, a grilled chicken sandwich, short rib flatbread, siracha wings, and a plate of fries. Everything was delicious and a portion was so reasonable. The service was lovely and the space was dark and perfect for the occasion. I highly recommend this little neighborhood bar.

We came as a party of four for happy hour on a Tuesday evening as it was one of our birthdays. The waiter was super nice but may have been overwhelmed by the number of customers and lack of any other help. So we were only able to get 2 happy hour drinks in from 5:40pm - 7pm. The happy hour cocktails had a great diverse selection and were only 12 dollars while the glasses of wines were 8. The interior was dimly lit and exuded romantic vibes, but given a semi-cool October evening, we opted to sit outdoors.We shared some apps. They were all pretty decent from the French fries, Sriracha wings, burrata to the shishito peppers. We shared the tasty crispy mushroom flatbread as well.When we got our bill split three ways since we were paying for the bday girl, one of us noted that gratuity was already included. The two of us didn't and had already written a 20-22 percent tip on top of the total. Who knew gratuity would be included for a party of four. Though the service was nice, it wasn't particularly fast and definitely not double tip worthy. Nothing is really worth a 40 percent tip no matter how amazing the service. So we had to correct our receipts.In summary, it was good vibes, good eats and good happy hour cocktail deals. Come if you're in the neighborhood. But look to see if tip was already included on the bill even if party size is fewer than six people.

Nice room and service. Bartenders were attentive and made excellent cocktails.I shall return.

Definitely open as of Dec 2024. Delicious drinks and food. Great ambiance. Great music at a good volume. Would definitely go back!
