I had the fortune to come here last week for happy hour and WOW, was I blown away. This is the (relatively) undiscovered gem of Playhouse Square. Easily my new go-to happy hour spot in Cleveland. The food was exceptional, service was first class (shout out to Dizzy for providing the best and most knowledgeable service I've received east of the Mississippi) and the restaurant is beautiful. We arrived around 5:30 and the place was relatively quiet but by 6:30 it was bumping with pre-theatre goers. The happy hour menu was a representative snapshot of the larger menu, focusing on tasty small bites (I mean this in a good way, not the overpriced, underportioned tapas way). In addition, they had a wide variety of unique seasonal cocktails, curated craft beers and ciders, and top notch wines (at reasonable prices). First off, the drinks: the red and white on happy hour were both very good, great value, and several notches above the usual house or table wine you get for happy hour. The seasonal cocktail was their take on the cosmo, made with infused alcohol and some type of pressed apple - amazing! The food is exceptional and easily worth a detour if you're in the area. 1) Oysters: YES PLEASE! Incredibly fresh, only in-season varietals offered, and served with a special house sauce, and a bargain at $1. Order a dozen and thank me later. 2) Deviled Eggs: usually not my swag but wow were these good. 3) Tuna Tartar: order one of these to share. Then when your dining partner goes to the bathroom order another and eat it before they get back. Huge amount of fresh tuna, caviar, and their unique fried focaccia. I could eat this for days. 4) Pork Belly Steamed Buns: the best ever, hands down. I don't care how much anyone says they like Noodlecat or any other pork belly bun, these are the champion. Large hunks of pork belly, well-seasoned, with just enough bun to call it a steamed bun without being doughy (looking at you Noodlecat). 5) Cheese Board: Last but not least, this is a steal. Seriously, where else do you get fresh fruit, sweet & spicy nuts, THREE kinds of cheese, fried focaccia, AND fig preserves (all of which were incredibly tasty) for the low, low price of $8? Only at Bin 216 I tell you. So to sum up, come here on a Friday night (or a Wednesday if Jazz is your thing), eat your heart out, warm up with a few drinks in an awesome restaurant, and then hit the town. Bin 216 is representative of everything Cleveland has to offer. Classy, unpretentious, great vibe, stellar service, excellent food, all at bargain prices.

This is my go to place for happy hour! They have $1 oysters and some delicious cocktails. The service is usually on point and the ambiance is amazing. Only critique, their small plates are just that extremely small plates..... I've ordered both the craft sliders and lobster nachos, not worth it for the money you pay. In conclusion, if you're looking for place to have some cocktails in a unique setting- this is your place!

A classy little tapas-style bar only a few steps away from the theater - definitely the perfect spot to grab a quick bite before a show! Even when my group was tight on time, our waiter made sure our food was in and out quickly. I will say that prices are a little high for the sizes you get, but I didn't expect any less for the Playhouse Square area. If you're looking for a full-on meal for cheap, I suggest heading elsewhere. Otherwise, the food here is delicious!

I love this place! We have been here 3 times in 2 weeks. The small plates are just enough even for dinner and the desserts are great, too. Get the milk and cookies!! Lots of good drinks. Good coffee, friendly staff. And it is part of the theater complex, so you only Park once if you are going to something. Or you can valet. It's ALL good!
(5)Michelle B.
A nice place to hang out after work or before a show. I will say that the service can be really slow, and the steam buns ain't got nothin' on Noodle Cat, but the dipping sauce for the fries is divine.
(4)Mr. Willie S.
,,,.After the show we stopped here for a glass of wine...Wow, great wine and appetizers and our hostess Lindsey was the best server ever.

I came with a friend just after six on a Wednesday. The live musicians were playing and it was busy. We couldn't find a table or spot at the bar so we had to sit on a couch, which was fine. We had to wait a very long time for a waiter to come. When the waiter finally came, he told us that we couldn't order the happy hour specials because we weren't sitting at the bar or a high top table. What? We're there, at happy hour, and we can't order the happy hour specials. Kind of a scam. So we order drinks and appetizers at full price. The drinks came out quickly, the food took a very long time. When our food arrived, the waiter forgot to bring us silverware, they said they would be right back. We waited another five or ten minutes and had to ask another server since the first one never came. Our food was cold by the time we were able to start eating. Despite not being hot, the food was delicious, but the portions were very small. The $11 crab cakes consisted of two cakes, less than an inch and a half wide an no less tall, barely four bites in total. The alcohol was surprisingly average priced compared to the food, though. Overall, we found the service very disappointing. The service did not justify the prices.

Love this place. The Happy Hour specials are amazing and love the quiet vibe. I'll be coming back! Love the Pork Steam Bun

This was my first time at this place and I have to say that it wasn't too shabby. The decor is top-notch: very low-lit with warm tones that are very inviting. The bar section is full of tall tables while the rest of the place is decked out with lounge couches and comfortable chairs. I went with two girlfriends for happy hour around 4:30 and we tried to sit over in the "comfy couch" section, but unfortunately this area is not part of the happy hour menu so we relocated to the bar area. They had three drinks that were part of their happy hour menu ($5): a red wine, a white wine and a winter mojito (I wish I could remember what they said it was made of...it sounded delicious). I was in the mood for a nice red wine so that's what I opted for. Halfway through our first glass one of the bartenders was opening a bottle of champagne at the bar and the cork flew across the room, hit the ceiling and fell down landing on one of my friends. It was incredibly funny and odd and the bartender was nice enough to buy her another drink so everyone was happy. Unfortunately we did not get any food but I would definitely go back and try the $1 oysters and the pork steam buns. This quaint bar would be a great spot to get some food and drinks before heading to a show. :)

Classy, classy classy. So classy I was inspired to become a yelper and write a review. The spectacular signature cocktails, the amazing small bites, the professionalism of the management and staff...this is a refreshing addition to the Playhouse Square food scene, and in all honesty, a refreshing add to the restaurant scene in the Cleveland area alone. The decor and class this establishment exudes is so welcomed. Cleveland is making a serious comeback, particularly Playhouse Square, and this establishment is spot on. Whether you're catching a show or simply wanting to be a part of all that has been blossoming in the area, Bin 216 is a lovely place to spend some time before or after a show... or simply to spend a nice quiet evening over great food and drink for the heck of it. Keep up the amazing work! Bravo Bin 216, bravo.
(5)Christopher M.
Stopped in for a quick bite before a show. Super convenient and has a nice vibe. Decent wine list. Had a glass of rose Brut and an Albariño. Small plates. Interesting flavors though a bit limited for vegetarians. Had the spiced nuts and a vegetable roll that was like a (cold) Asian spring roll.
(3)Andrew W.
One of the best cocktails you'll find in town, beautiful space, and food as well as a wonderful staff.
(5)Gabriel K.
beautiful, upscale bar that recreates the opulent opening to the Ohio Theatre from when it was built in the 1920's. The décor is something you cannot find in many other bars in the region and it enhances what Playhouse Square has to offer. On top of all that, we ordered some well-made cocktails and tasty appetizers. A bit (read: way) high-class for my typical night out, but perfect for a classy evening.
(5)Dave R.
Classy, trendy and tasteful. David the waiter is GREAT. If you have tickets to the Playhouse, THIS IS THE PLACE!! Winning!
(5)Jessica I.
I wasn't sure what to expect here, but I really liked what I found. They do creative and quickly prepared small plates designed for the theater crowd. We had a great bartender on our visit and enjoyed some lovely cocktails alongside a bevy of the aforementioned little plates. You could almost treat Bin 216 as a tapas bar if you wanted something more than a little snack before the show. The setting is really nice too.
(4)Becky V.
I've been raving about this place since the first time I came here, it's SO great! You have to try the pork belly steam bun. I also like their seasonal vegetable roll - fresh, cold veggies sliced up and served with two dipping sauces. They have happy hour all day on Sundays! Service is awesome, I agree 100% with all the other good Yelp reviews, this place is an amazing addition to downtown Cleveland!
(5)Mona F.
What a GEM - This is my new favorite Happy Hour spot in Downtown! BIN 216's ambiance, decor, menu of "small bites", and drink selection for HH is exactly what I am looking for in a wine bar -- and definitely feels more chic compared to the usual HH spots in Ohio City. In addition to being friendly, staff is attentive and knowledgable about their menu/drink selection (which is much appreciated!). My boyfriend and I tried all the food on the HH menu, and we highly recommend: 1) Ahi Tuna Tartar 2) Pork Belly Steam bun - I could eat a ton of these! 3) Daily craft cocktail Wednesday nights have live Jazz music!
(4)Natalie S.
I wanted to try everything on the menu! But we settled on the fondue and it was soo good! Gorgeous space and great staff!
(4)Dean T.
Cool retro feel - complete with TVs switched to black and white (great touch!). All small plates and the 3 we got were great - scallops, lobster nachos and Pomme frites. Drinks are fun and creative. Our server Dani was awesome!
(4)Nivedita B.
Kept Bin 216 on my to-try list after reading all the positive reviews about their happy hour. Thank you, fellow Yelpers! You did good. First of all, it's in Playhouse Square. Second, it's freakin' beautiful. You feel as if you've stepped back in time to Prohibition era with its art deco walls and retro couches. Awesome. HH is a great deal, but yes you shouldn't expect large portions. I had a couple of their special HH cocktails, which packed a good punch. The dollar oysters were fresh and I couldn't stop ordering moar. The deviled eggs were also scrumptious, as was the pork belly steam bun. The tuna tartare was pretty good but I've had better. The tuna was mashed up a bit too much for my liking. Our server was awesome! All in all, a great place to come on a date or with a group for some HH action.
(4)Amber S.
Just visited for drinks before the show. The drinks were great, the location is fantastic (theater entrance is in the back of the bar), and our server was great. If we visit the theater again we'll be certain to stop before the show.
(5)Margaret V.
I just came for a drink before dinner, but thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The bar is situated in the Playhouse Square area and would be a great place to get a drink and snack/dessert before or after a show. They have a great happy hour special. Specific drinks are only $5. There are discounts on appetizers as well and they range from from mixed nuts to deviled eggs to cheese plates... The ladies sitting next to me ordered a few of the deviled egg appetizers and raved about them. The atmosphere is beautiful and a special shout out to bartender, Frances. He made the visit a lot of fun.
(4)Cara L.
I am diggin this place! My sister and I checked this place out for Happy Hour last Friday and were the only two people in the bar. We happened to pick a night in which CSU was still on winter break and there were no shows going on at the Playhouse. This place is gorgeous on the inside! It has a classy feel without the high price tag. For Happy Hour it is M-F 4pm-7pm and includes $5 house wines, $5 for their specialty cocktail of the day and $2 Miller Lite or Miller High Life. For food we got an order of the Sweet and Spicy Nuts and we each got a $3 Pork Belly Steamed Bun. Oh My Gosh was the steam bun amazing! You will notice in a lot of other reviews for this place that people rave about this steam bun...Everyone should try it!! Our bartendar (who's name escapes me) was very friendly and gave us the scoop on how long the bar has been open, that Wednesday's are jazz night, on a show night Friday is usually the busiest and that he loves working there! What a great experience! I can't wait to go back! *Tip for Parking: Meters are free after 6pm and if you park at the meters by Subway on E 18th and Euclid those meters are free after 4:30pm.

I came here one night for happy hour before a show. It was about 6PM it was relatively crowded but we found two seats at the bar. We looked at the menu and there were a ton of options that looked really good. Both of us are recent college grads and so we were looking to get the most bang for our buck. No such luck at Bin 216. While I understand the draw to inflate the prices since it's in the Playhouse Square complex there are so many other restaurants in the immediate vicinity and a little farther down Euclid Ave. that are just as good and much cheaper. We got a glass of the happy hour red which was pretty good and $5 so we were ok with that. We got pretty generous pours so the wine was a good value. We both got the burger. I was thinking it would be the size of a slider because they said small plates. There are lots of places downtown that have small plates that are not quite this small. They should just call it tapas or tasters, that would be more accurate. The burger was more like a meatball sized burger with a very small amount of fries. Everything was delicious but it was tiny and for $13 I could pay 2 more bucks and get an amazing full size burger and fries at several of the restaurants downtown. I would give this place 4-4.5 stars if the portions were not so small and the prices not so exorbitant. The concept is great, the space is beautiful but I'd sooner go to Cibreo or another downtown restaurant for happy hour/dinner before a show. IF I'm just getting drinks I'd definitely stop by.
(2)Ben S.
Bin216 really impressed me. I did not except much from a place that clearly has location, convenience and a captive theatre going audience working in its favor, but I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered: $5 Devils on Horseback (chorizo stuffed, bacon wrapped dates) Hanky Panky's (chorizo and cheese and fig on a cracker) Crab Cakes $13 Scallops with sweet corn $7 Autumn vegetable roll All the dishes were amazing. My least favorite was the vegetable roll. While this was the largest portion and the veg were clearly fresh, the flavor was not what I was expecting based on what I am used to getting at other restaurants when ordering this dish. The two accompanying sauces (apple and peanut curry) were also just a bit off in flavor in my opinion. The other dishes were spectacular however. Anything with chorizo is good. Of the two dishes with this ingredient that we ordered I loved the Hanky Panky's the most. Unfortunately these were the smallest serving. The crab cakes were also memorable in a sweet chile puree. Owing to the small portion sizes we ended up ordering a second round of everything except the two highest priced items that we had sampled. We skipped out on the rolls as they were not a favorite and skipped the scallops because the price seems a bit high - $13 for 2 scallops. Everything else, at $5 seemed more reasonable. Just note if you are going with a big group of people that everything we ordered came in pairs and you really cannot split up the individual pieces. Therefore if you are trying to make a full meal out of it order a lot of food. The only con I could possibly note is that the staff needed more bar training - at least our under 21 waitress. While she was super pleasant and attentive and proactive when it came to our needs, I'd say to provide more bar training for all staff - even if they are under 21 - would be key. Even if under 21 and unable to taste drinks, the staff should know what is stocked at the bar, what goes well with other drinks, and be able to provide basic scripted recommendations, etc... At a wine bar, I don't know because I'm not 21, really isn't a good answer. This ding goes towards the management not our waitress. I ate here before a 6:30 show at Playhouse. We arrived just after 5pm and there was plenty of seating, but it quickly filled in so if you want a pre-show seat don't arrive much later than an hour before show time. Each time we ordered food took about 30 minutes to come from the kitchen.

This place is amazing. The manager, David, made the best drinks I have ever had. They were perfection. The food , oysters on the half shell and the fried oysters were so delicious. This is a must go to bar Went there again. Ask for Alex his recommendations are perfect. Food and cocktails were amazing

I had to write an update here. I've continued to frequent Bin 216 and I have one critique of the menu: On the 'small plates' section of the menu it's really (unfortunately) more of a micro plate. I've now tried a few of them and it's obvious there's an effort to reduce the portion size and charge a very high price. I was dismayed to order a burger 'special' off of the small plates menu. The burger was the size of a newborn baby's fist, and the fries were about the size of a sneeze. This item was $13 and suggested as a 'special'. I've also ordered the lobster nachos off of the small plates menu and it was also expensive and an very small portion. I understand the concept of small plate to be something that is about an appetizer sized portion of food, IMO. None of the two items above qualify. The menu is misleading in that people think they're getting (and paying for) an appetizer sized portion and taken aback when that's not the reality. I really do enjoy going here but from here on out will be wary of which items I order, you should too. After these two negative experiences I think I'll only frequent during their happy hours, get the oysters and call it a day.
(2)Charla C.
We tried the tuna tartar, seared scallops and a deviled egg. Every bite of all 3 were simply amazing! The all day happy hour was a nice touch. Loved it!!!!!
(5)Suzanne R.
It's a great place anytime but especially after the theater. Nice atmosphere, live music somedays good food & drinks. Service always pleasing.
(4)Thomas C.
Live Jazz on Wednesday's was the draw and they also have a nice happy hour with drink specials (not just awful selections either) and ... live jazz. The further you walk into the property the more you feel immersed into a not in Cleveland Jazz club with nice cocktails, brilliant decor and smooth sounds.

The further you walk into the property the more you feel immersed into a not in Cleveland Jazz club with nice cocktails, brilliant decor and smooth sounds.

I wasn't sure what to expect here, but I really liked what I found. They do creative and quickly prepared small plates designed for the theater crowd. We had a great bartender on our visit and enjoyed some lovely cocktails alongside a bevy of the aforementioned little plates. You could almost treat Bin 216 as a tapas bar if you wanted something more than a little snack before the show. The setting is really nice too.

I've been raving about this place since the first time I came here, it's SO great! You have to try the pork belly steam bun. I also like their seasonal vegetable roll - fresh, cold veggies sliced up and served with two dipping sauces. They have happy hour all day on Sundays! Service is awesome, I agree 100% with all the other good Yelp reviews, this place is an amazing addition to downtown Cleveland!

I had the fortune to come here last week for happy hour and WOW, was I blown away. This is the (relatively) undiscovered gem of Playhouse Square. Easily my new go-to happy hour spot in Cleveland. The food was exceptional, service was first class (shout out to Dizzy for providing the best and most knowledgeable service I've received east of the Mississippi) and the restaurant is beautiful. We arrived around 5:30 and the place was relatively quiet but by 6:30 it was bumping with pre-theatre goers. The happy hour menu was a representative snapshot of the larger menu, focusing on tasty small bites (I mean this in a good way, not the overpriced, underportioned tapas way). In addition, they had a wide variety of unique seasonal cocktails, curated craft beers and ciders, and top notch wines (at reasonable prices). First off, the drinks: the red and white on happy hour were both very good, great value, and several notches above the usual house or table wine you get for happy hour. The seasonal cocktail was their take on the cosmo, made with infused alcohol and some type of pressed apple - amazing! The food is exceptional and easily worth a detour if you're in the area. 1) Oysters: YES PLEASE! Incredibly fresh, only in-season varietals offered, and served with a special house sauce, and a bargain at $1. Order a dozen and thank me later. 2) Deviled Eggs: usually not my swag but wow were these good. 3) Tuna Tartar: order one of these to share. Then when your dining partner goes to the bathroom order another and eat it before they get back. Huge amount of fresh tuna, caviar, and their unique fried focaccia. I could eat this for days. 4) Pork Belly Steamed Buns: the best ever, hands down. I don't care how much anyone says they like Noodlecat or any other pork belly bun, these are the champion. Large hunks of pork belly, well-seasoned, with just enough bun to call it a steamed bun without being doughy (looking at you Noodlecat). 5) Cheese Board: Last but not least, this is a steal. Seriously, where else do you get fresh fruit, sweet & spicy nuts, THREE kinds of cheese, fried focaccia, AND fig preserves (all of which were incredibly tasty) for the low, low price of $8? Only at Bin 216 I tell you. So to sum up, come here on a Friday night (or a Wednesday if Jazz is your thing), eat your heart out, warm up with a few drinks in an awesome restaurant, and then hit the town. Bin 216 is representative of everything Cleveland has to offer. Classy, unpretentious, great vibe, stellar service, excellent food, all at bargain prices.

This is my go to place for happy hour! They have $1 oysters and some delicious cocktails. The service is usually on point and the ambiance is amazing. Only critique, their small plates are just that extremely small plates..... I've ordered both the craft sliders and lobster nachos, not worth it for the money you pay. In conclusion, if you're looking for place to have some cocktails in a unique setting- this is your place!

A classy little tapas-style bar only a few steps away from the theater - definitely the perfect spot to grab a quick bite before a show! Even when my group was tight on time, our waiter made sure our food was in and out quickly. I will say that prices are a little high for the sizes you get, but I didn't expect any less for the Playhouse Square area. If you're looking for a full-on meal for cheap, I suggest heading elsewhere. Otherwise, the food here is delicious!

What a GEM - This is my new favorite Happy Hour spot in Downtown! BIN 216's ambiance, decor, menu of "small bites", and drink selection for HH is exactly what I am looking for in a wine bar -- and definitely feels more chic compared to the usual HH spots in Ohio City. In addition to being friendly, staff is attentive and knowledgable about their menu/drink selection (which is much appreciated!). My boyfriend and I tried all the food on the HH menu, and we highly recommend: 1) Ahi Tuna Tartar 2) Pork Belly Steam bun - I could eat a ton of these! 3) Daily craft cocktail Wednesday nights have live Jazz music!

Cool retro feel - complete with TVs switched to black and white (great touch!). All small plates and the 3 we got were great - scallops, lobster nachos and Pomme frites. Drinks are fun and creative. Our server Dani was awesome!

I love this place! We have been here 3 times in 2 weeks. The small plates are just enough even for dinner and the desserts are great, too. Get the milk and cookies!! Lots of good drinks. Good coffee, friendly staff. And it is part of the theater complex, so you only Park once if you are going to something. Or you can valet. It's ALL good!

A nice place to hang out after work or before a show. I will say that the service can be really slow, and the steam buns ain't got nothin' on Noodle Cat, but the dipping sauce for the fries is divine.

,,,.After the show we stopped here for a glass of wine...Wow, great wine and appetizers and our hostess Lindsey was the best server ever.

I came with a friend just after six on a Wednesday. The live musicians were playing and it was busy. We couldn't find a table or spot at the bar so we had to sit on a couch, which was fine. We had to wait a very long time for a waiter to come. When the waiter finally came, he told us that we couldn't order the happy hour specials because we weren't sitting at the bar or a high top table. What? We're there, at happy hour, and we can't order the happy hour specials. Kind of a scam. So we order drinks and appetizers at full price. The drinks came out quickly, the food took a very long time. When our food arrived, the waiter forgot to bring us silverware, they said they would be right back. We waited another five or ten minutes and had to ask another server since the first one never came. Our food was cold by the time we were able to start eating. Despite not being hot, the food was delicious, but the portions were very small. The $11 crab cakes consisted of two cakes, less than an inch and a half wide an no less tall, barely four bites in total. The alcohol was surprisingly average priced compared to the food, though. Overall, we found the service very disappointing. The service did not justify the prices.
