Bacchus Bar

First time in here and I fell in love with the space. You feel like you are in another era.. Staff were super chill and friendly even though it was busy..food was a reasonable price, great selection and very tasty. Definitely will be back ✨

We were here on a Saturday evening for a few drinks. The atmosphere and interior were very nice - a really interesting place to relax. However, the service leaves much to be desired. There were only two bartenders working at the bar , and unfortunately they did not know how to make cocktails correctly: the proportions were wrong, and they could not make a non-alcoholic cocktail at all. I wish the staff knew the menu better and knew how to make drinks, especially on weekends when the flow of guests is high. We hope that in the future the service will be at the level of the atmosphere of the establishment.

Visited Bacchus Bar for drinks, and it was a great experience! The ambiance was cozy and relaxed, perfect for an evening out. The drink menu had a fantastic selection of cocktails, beers, and wines, and everything we tried was spot on. The bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and made some excellent recommendations.Whether you're looking for a casual drink with friends or a night out, Bacchus Bar is a solid choice. Definitely looking forward to going back soon!

Cool bar with good vibes. Price is acceptable for the second city.. but my god, fill your pints up properly! Not a sip taken from these 2

What do a pair of Aussie tourists fresh off the plane get for dinner on their first night in Birmingham? Easy answer, a pie, of course! But not just any old pie, no no my friend. You ain’t had a pie until you have ventured into the subterranean bar/ restaurant that is Bacchus.Located in the Burlington Arcade in the heart of Birmingham you descend down a fight of stairs into the most over themed, ostentatiously decorated pub you have, and will, ever experience. Is this a negative? No way! The venue is cozy and inviting and has lots of little nooks and crannies where you can secrete yourself for an intimate dinner or relaxed drinks with mates.The choices at the bar are extensive and the food coming out of the kitchen is top notch. Their pies are what they are famous for and for good reason. Packed with quality filling and doubling down on flavour the range of pies is impressive and great value of money.I’ve left the best for last. The service is impeccable. The staff are amazing here. Super friendly and attentive and most importantly can have a joke about how rubbish English beer and cricket is compared to Australia.We were served by the guy who I assume is running the show down there. Will, what can I say… the guy is an absolute star. Smart, witty and handsome; I was about to marry my mum off to him if I thought I could get away with my dad not finding out…We had a great time. Cheers guys.
