Bacchus Bar is a fantastic spot for anyone who loves great food and refreshing beer. The menu offers a wide range of tasty dishes — everything is cooked perfectly and pairs wonderfully with their excellent selection of beers. The craft beers are always served cold and fresh, with plenty of choices to match different tastes. The bar food is flavorful and satisfying, from juicy bites to hearty mains. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy a good meal, and have a few drinks with friends. Highly recommended for both food and beer lovers!
Came for the incredible decor, stayed for the food! I had the Chargrilled Chicken & Chorizo and it was spot on. Yhe chicken was juicy and the pan-fried chorizo added a great kick. My partner had the Garlic Chicken Schnitzel which was huge and perfectly crispy. It’s rare to find a pub with this much atmosphere that also puts this much effort into their chicken dishes. Definitely not your basic pub grub!
I love this quirky bar, tucked down am alley, under the Burlington Hotel. Though it's large there are lots of nooks and crannies so it feels cosy. It feels like a little hideaway with some interesting decor. I didn't eat there so can't comment.
Wow, what an incredible unique place. There is no way you would expect to find this place if you didn’t know. Absolutely incredible venue, so glad I found it. I have never seen a place like this ever before. Highly recommended of your after somewhere a bit different.
If you don’t know to order at the bar, now you know. Otherwise you’ll wait patiently and there will be no signs or any one to tell you that. Food I quite pricey. I got the steak sandwich…. So disappointing. See photos. Steak - the main ingredient was one small thin layer that didn’t even cover 1/2 the bread and 12.5 pounds. Guinness was good.
