Bin 480 Bar & Bistro In Marriott On Union Square

Conveniently tucked inside the Marriott Union Square, this is a nice amenity. I used my $25 daily credit (credited from the $25 daily resort fee) to get carry out. The first night I enjoyed the angus burger and upgraded to Parmesan truffle fries. The burger was alright and the fries hot and fresh. The second night was a lighter dinner with the crab and corn chowder, bread and butter, and a slice of New York cheese cake. The chowder was ok- just needed a pinch of seasoning to take it to the next level. Ronald provided friendly service. The Warriors game was playing on the TV for guests to watch.

(read to the bottom especially if you're also staying in the hotel!) Maybe it's because I've spent the past three weeks here, but I've really enjoyed this spot. Julia, Jay, and Thomas are excellent barkeeps with fascinating backgrounds -- just ask, they're happy to chat if the bar isn't too busy. Maybe grab a "gold rush" too (pictured), especially if you want to try a surprising and fresh take on an old fashioned. The barkeeps and the staff are all extremely friendly and have been with the restaurant for decades. (Ken is particularly dextrous!) The food is great too, if you're looking for a bite to eat. My go-tos are the wings (both flavors are great, but I'm team sweet chili), the tartrate, and the salmon, depending on what I'm feeling. Of course, you can always ask the staff for recommendations, they've all been with the establishment for so long! For the hotel patrons, this is an excellent place to stop by every night for a barside ritual. After all, you're already obliged to pay for the **DAILY** $25 hotel credit, so remember to tip up to $25 (or higher!) if you haven't used your credit yet, and get an amazing time in return.
