Drink in the Season - Champagne, Music and Dancing at Bin 36

By Anthony Todd in Food on Dec 28, 2010 3:34PM

Bin 36, one of our favorite spots, is hosting a particularly comprehensive set of New Year’s Eve parties, and reservations are still available. If you already have late evening plans, Bin 36 is offering a 4-course early meal, seating from 5:30-7 p.m., so you can grub up before you head out to your drinking and carousing. The early dinner is $55 per person, a good deal for a meal on New Year’s Eve.

On the other hand, if you are prepared to hunker down and stay for the night, reserve a seat between 9 and 11. The evening will begin with champagne cocktails, canapés and mingling, followed by a four course meal. Your meal will be accompanied by live music, dancing and a midnight toast (and party hats and horns, of course). To round out the evening, Bin 36 will be serving donuts and coffee for breakfast after the party. The whole event is $100 per person.

Offerings for the dinner include a buffalo strip steak with chanterelle mushrooms and a poached organic egg, boat scallops with a blood orange puree and selections from Bin 36’s excellent cheese menu. The price does not include wine pairings, so if you’re looking to drink more than champagne, bring a little extra.

Bin 36 is located at 339 N. Dearborn Street.
