Bina’s

Love love this place! Kitschy, trendy yet unpretentious dive bar vibe with great food. Order with a QR code which some people hate but I personally don't mind.My mom got the blackberry bootlegger. She said it was not too sweet, "just right." Rare praise coming from a picky Norwegian boomer.I got the cowboy gimlet- delicious! We shared the deviled eggs, added herring. 1000/10, put the herring on the chip and eat it then shovel the egg in after. Tuna melts were perfect, with dill pickle chips on the side to put on the sandwich. Got a side of house made ranch to dip chips in based on previous reviews and wow, best ranch I've EVER had (and I'm a connoisseur).Espresso martinis were great. Staff were hot and nice which is such a rare combo. Got the 3 Bina bars for dessert which I would skip next time. I WILL BE BACK!

This place has a nice vibe to it! The price of drinks are great! Can get a nice cocktail for $10, the food is also reasonably priced. Only thing I'd say about the food is the up charge for fries with your burger because who is eating chips with a burger! Service is great here, the people are really nice and seem to enjoy working here! I would recommend this place for sure- another plus is the AUX is great!!

Well, obsessed would be an understatement. The bartender on Wednesday afternoon was an absolute delight. Food. Drinks. Vibes. All so good. Next time I am in town, I will be back.

Dive bar vibes for sure, fancy food tho. I am not minding that combination at all. Pictured are the Deviled eggs. I always wondered what makes them devil adjacent but thats a musing for another day. They are delicious. There was come service hiccups with our service and some confusion about what menu was being used and what items were on which menue but that might be something they are working out. Over all I would go back for the eggs alone.

Absolutely phenomenal. This is my favorite kind of bar. Please visit the bathroom while you're at Bina's and for the love of god order the nordeast sushi.

Third time here and doesn't disappoint. Eclectic chill vibe, with proper bar food and great service. Had the Bina Burger, Cajun Pickle Fries, and Dry Rub Wings. Some of the best wings I have had. Perfectly crispy skin with juicy inside. The Bina Burger is one of the better smash burgers around and sauce, pickles, and onions on a super soft bun bring it all together. House made ranch is a must with the sides and wings!!

Went here on a Friday night and it was packed! We started with espresso martinis while we waited to swoop a table--they were cold and strong. Just the way I like it! When we were able to grab a table, we ordered the classic Bina burger and it didn't disappoint. Always sub chips for fries because the fries are bomb.

A fun spot in NE with fantastic food, great service, and good drinks. We were able to find a parking spot in their lot and a few seats at the bar at 5:30 on a Friday. We lucked out though as the place was packed! Ambiance is very dive-esque with old bar decor, pull tabs, and a pool table. It's not a huge spot, so it got pretty loud at times with all the people. I had the Cappelletti Spritz and the Cowboy Gimlet. The gimlet is great if you like spicy tequila drinks! I split the burger/fries and wings with my partner and don't know which one I liked more! Both were super tasty. And I'd never had fries like this before. I will definitely return, but maybe will try to go during a slower time.

Nestled in with the art district in NE Mpls, you'll find Bina's on a brick street in much need of work. Entering the front door from the unassuming bar front; you will find some lounge chairs, and a pool table (finally). Further back, you will find yourself at the bar. First off, this place gets four starts just for the name itself. It is probably the greatest name anyone could name a bar! If anybody knows a Bina, you'll know:1. They are the coolest people. 2. They know where the skeletons are buried and will keep your secrets. 3. Will totally have a drink with you. Any day, any time.With all those superlatives I probably don't need to sell you any more on getting your rear-end here, but seeing this is Yelp, I can tell you more about the food and drink.First, the beer selection is modest, which is completely fine. You will find your standard IPA selections, Pils, Lagers, and some hard seltzers, and ciders. You will also have your choice of nationally branded beers. A Pabst silo (AKA Tall Boy) and a shot (Wild Turkey is their cool rail bourbon) will run you about $8.00. Their cocktails are well made, and they take their time to craft them appropriately, so big props here. I strongly suggest either Old Fashioneds or the Cowboy Gimlet if you want some spice in your life.On the Food side of the equation, everything has been pretty good. The Bina Burger is quite good. The Wings are very good. I will say whatever they try to pass off, as blue cheese dressing for the wings could certainly be much better. I am unsure what that watered-down stuff was served to me. The Nordeast Sushi, which is basically pickle rollups. These are good. This is just a personal note, but I didn't care for whatever they put in their cream cheese, but that's just me. The last item - their fries are like really thick potato chips...I really enjoyed them.Thus far, been here four times, and have had a blast day drinking here. Bartenders are cool, and you can drop yourself at the bar and chew the fat with your fellow bar patron easily. I realize that they market this as a "dive bar.", Compared to the places I drank growing up in Western WI, this place is plenty comfortable with a laid-back vibe, and this is the place I'll be hanging my hat at on the weekends. You should too.

Everything here is 5 stars. Think elevated dive bar with amazing drinks, food and pull tabs. mark the bartender deserves all the accolades. One of our favorite spots!! Come at any time of the day for any vibe. You will have a great time!
