Bin 152

Bin 152 is a rustic, intimate wine bar with exposed brick, wooden furniture, and a European feel. The numbers tell the story: about 40 wines by the glass and over 200 by the bottle. Husband-and-wife owners Patrick and Fanny Panella lean the list Old World: guests mention Domaine Weinbach Riesling and Château Climens Asphodèle Bordeaux Sec, both serious producers and appellations. The sister concept holds a star in The World's Best Wine List Awards 2025. France is the spine (Alsace, Bordeaux, likely Burgundy and Loire), with Italy and Spain well represented and curated New World selections rounding it out. Food is cheese, charcuterie, and freshly baked bread. Wine drives the experience; food supports it.

Forty wines by the glass in a single-room bar is exceptional. That breadth lets you explore multiple regions and styles without committing to bottles, and with 200+ bottles behind it, there's depth when you want to go deeper. The Old World lean gives Bin 152 a different personality from Charleston's Napa-heavy hotel cellars. Domaine Weinbach Riesling and Château Climens on the list signal a buyer who shops with conviction. The World's Best Wine List recognition from the sister concept reflects the quality standard across the group. Pricing is approachable enough that guests ordering "the second cheapest" still walk away pleased. Add cheese, charcuterie, and bread, and you have the closest thing to a Parisian wine bar on Lower King Street.
