Unlike the sprawling bars and lounges located on Las Vegas' famous Strip, this cozy bar offers a more intimate atmosphere for sipping custom cocktails. Located in Las Vegas' Downtown Container Park, Bin 702 is a compact bar made from two shipping containers. While indoor seating may be limited, the bar features a roomy [rooftop patio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lookout-above-litomyl) that provides great views of Downtown Container Park. Beyond the views, the bar's carefully curated menu is also a major draw, with a selection of beer and wine on tap, nearly a dozen custom cocktails and gourmet charcuterie boards. The bar also serves up mini sandwiches for those looking for a more substantial snack to pair with their drinks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Shipping Container Bars:** The trend of bars made from upcycled shipping containers offers a unique and sustainable approach to the hospitality industry. - **Compact Bar Experience:** The trend of small and intimate bars provides an opportunity for businesses to offer personalized and exclusive experiences to customers. - **Curated Menu Selections:** The trend of carefully curated menus allows businesses to differentiate themselves and offer unique options for food and beverage service. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Shipping container bars and compact bar experiences offer disruptive innovation opportunities for the hospitality industry in terms of unique venue design and personalized customer experiences. - **Sustainability:** Upcycling shipping containers for use in bar design offers an innovative and environmentally sustainable solution for the construction and design industry. - **Food and Beverage:** The trend of curated menus provides opportunities for innovation within the food and beverage industry in terms of unique flavor combinations and experiential dining options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Container Tiny Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teeny-tiny-haus.md) - [Stackable Bottled Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloc-bottled-cocktails.md) - [Pop-Up Event Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-space-concepts.md) - [Smart Mixology Speakeasies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barsys-speakeasy.md) - [Whiskey Barrel-Decorated Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laizhou-bar.md) - [Versatile Compact Modern Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augustine-tiny-home.md) - [Ruin-Adaptive Shipping Container Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barneys-ruins.md) - [Concealed Modern Barrel Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nine-architects.md) - [Dual-Floor Cocktail Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sip-guzzle.md)
