binks is a neighborhood bar located in the heart of the Alberta Arts District. They serve fresh squeezed cocktails, beer, wine, pizza, and salads.
It's a great bar in all kinds of weather. Snuggle up to the cozy fireplace in the winter of enjoy the open garage door while you play pool in the summer. They have some great sidewalk tables that are perfect for hanging out in the sunshine with a fresh-squeezed cocktail and doing some people watching on Alberta Street.

In Short
Scrumptious Moroccan patterns and colors envelope visitors as they sink into plush seats surrounded by satiny pillows. The "garage" area is decorated with vintage beer signs and is home to a very busy pool table, where tattooed couples tip back PBRs. Snacks include the garden salad, Greek pizza or just some nuts and jerky. Drink options include pints of favorites Full Sail and Fat Tire as well as wine and nonalcoholic beverages.

I really like the location and outside area. The mixed drinks are great, and a great place to spend a Sunday. I would recommend staying away from the food though, guaranteed to give you stomach issues.

I have tried to like this place but something is just off. The best thing going is the fake fire. Maybe it is just too small or the crowd is strange. Someone needs to open another bar nearby

Came here as last bar in the night. A little crowded, but able to find a table in back. Hummus is good! Drinks are decent if you not looking for anything fancy. Eclectic music tastes on the jukebox, and it seemed like every song played did not deter from the friendly hipster vibe. Nicely decorated in a Moroccan theme. Love the idea of their freshly squeezed cocktails, but did not try any out.
