“ This place popped up on Google Maps and it looked like a unique place. The place is amazing - old school bar/restaurant/pool hall. There were lots of choices on the menu, and I settled with the Bacchus chicken sandwich (delicious). The waitress was delightful. I enjoyed my lunch and a couple practice games of pool before hitting the road. ”
“ I don’t normally leave reviews as I just like to enjoy my food and move on (I know, crazy right? Everyone’s a food blogger nowadays) BUT!!!!! The equilibrium tie dye science ipa was perfect and complimented the wings and burger that I had. For the wings I am a garlic parm guy until the day I die and I can say these are some of the best garlic parm wings I’ve had yet and that’s saying a lot. FLAVOR from the bone to the outside exterior, very rare imo to have so much flavor packed into these little guys. The smash burger was perfection. Well balanced from top to bottom and assembled perfectly. Flavor throughout and texture as a well. Again, 7/10 places just miss the ball and leave you disappointed. Caesar salad was also excellent. Texture, and favor and well mixed. KISS is an acronym for a reason and many places miss it every time. This place does not. They keep it simple and they nailed each item. Go here. Order: Smash burger Garlic parm fries Cesar salad IPA Besides the great food the staff is great and if I am in the area again this will be my only go to spot! Well done chef! ”

As I stepped across its threshold, I was enveloped in a warm, golden light, like a traveler arriving at a fireside on a winter's night. The food, a symphony of savory splendors, danced on my palate, each bite a masterful harmony of flavors and textures. But it was not just the cuisine that left me enchanted – it was the tender touch of hospitality, the gentle warmth of the staff, that made my visit truly unforgettable. And then, there was Grace, our lovely server, a sprite of sweetness and light, who tended to our every need with the gentle care of a summer breeze. Her smile, a radiant beacon, illuminated our table, making even the most mundane moments seem like a revelatory experience. In Bacchus, I found a haven, a place where the cares of the world were washed away by the rich aromas of roasting meats and the soft click of billiard balls.

If you seek a culinary adventure, seek out Bacchus, and pray that Grace is your server – you will be blessed. ”
“ Haven't been here in years, was pleasantly surprised. Stopped in with friends for some apps after being at winery 10min away. Everything was great. We shared wings, Brussels, artichoke dip,onion rings & some drinks. ”
“ Big menu and great prices! The beer selection was incredible. The sign out front said 400 beers to choose from and I believe it. I don't know if I have ever seen such a good selection of beers. The atmosphere is so cool. It is classy, but fun. Old fashioned, but trendy. Dark, but comfortable and positive. We had a lovely meal on the second floor. It was quiet and even romantic. ”
“ This place is what you exactly need after trail! Various menu, absolutely delicious food and huge portions. Carbonara was the best I tried! Also we had vegan bowl but with chicken, great choice for healthy dinner - load with protein, as I said all you need after hiking Cozy outside sitting, especially in evening time with lights And open until 10 pm, while many places here closed at 8pm ”
“ I came here for the first time the other day (Saturday afternoon) after going to a nearby public family event. I was in a group of 5 (one being a minor), and they seated us immediately, although this place definitely wasn't empty. We all enjoyed ourselves. The food was great, the drink menu offered a large variety, the atmosphere was beautiful and the staff was super helpful and friendly. I wasn't very impressed by their cocktail menu, but they made up for it in the other variety of drinks they offer. They also have a bunch of pool tables to play on! ”
“ I really enjoyed this place. Great music, great atmosphere, the staff was helpful and really friendly. We had a cheese and broccoli IPA, loaded cheese fries, and the hard apple cider. I'd come back if I was in the area again. ”
