Most aptly named bar ever

Advantages: Centre of town, good prices, good atmosphere
Disadvantages: Small (but cosy)

...of wine. The name Bacchus came into use in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. It refers to the loud cries with which he was worshipped at the
Bacchanalia, which were exhaustive celebrations in his honour. These events, which supposedly originated in spring nature festivals, became occasions for licentiousness and intoxication, at which the celebrants danced, drank, and generally debauched themselves.

Thankfully, this ...

Bar Bacchus is on Glassford Street (east side of Marks and Spencer), Tel: (0141) 572 0080. I recommend it as a 'drink after work' venue or as a pre-club warmer - enjoy! (And don't drink too much!)   ... more

Realx and Unwind at Bacchus Bar

Advantages: Escape the crowds of New Street; Atmospheric; Comfortable
Disadvantages: Strictly over 21's; More pricey than average for Birmingham

Bacchus is like an oasis in the middle of Birmingham, and once inside you won't belive you're only a minutes walk from the crowded Bullring Shopping centre. The venue is good for a variety of purposes; a lunchtime coffee; dinner, after work drinks, or a cosy date...all are catered for here. A good selection of wines and beers on draft, as well as an excellent selection of hot drinks is accompanied by a varied menu offering traditional food, as well as some dishes with a twist. The atmosphere here is created firstly by the surroundings, undergroud and windowless, the bar still feels airy and luxorious. Music plays quietly in the background, permitting conversation without a need to raise your voice. Try Bacchus, situated in the Burlington Arcade off New Street, you won't be disappointed. ...

Review of Bacchus Bar

Fancy a drink in Ancient Greece?????

Advantages: Cosy, not too crowded
Disadvantages: Stict dress code

Its Friday night, I?ve had a rubbish day at work (nothing new there) and am in need of a good night out. My partner suggests we go to Bacchus (its actually where we went on our first date aaahhhhh). Bacchus is situated in the middle of Birmingham City centre, in the Burlington arcade on New Street (its about a 1 minute walk from New street train station). Actually Bacchus is underneath the arcade so unless you know its there you wont find it. There is a staircase in the arcade, which you follow down to a glass door where you are greeted by a pair of bouncers. Not your typical ?one wrong look and I?ll hit you? bouncers, but smartly dressed and pleasant (occasionally there is a female bouncer). Bacchus is the Greek god of wine (and fertility) and there is a large paining of him on the wall above the stairs. Once inside, you ...

Review of Bacchus Bar

A Historical night out

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Bacchus Bar is situated in the centre of Birmingham on New street, which is one of Birmingham's main shopping streets. It can be found in Burlington arcade just off the street. As you go down the stairs you are instantly sent back in time. It has several themes including medieval, egyptian and traditional English decor. It's arched brick roof is very impressive, so too are the furnishings. Where ever you sit you will enjoy the whole atmosphere of your surroundings as you weave in and out of the various sections and walkways. It is positioned underground which adds to the feeling of passing through a time barrier and leaving the 21st century behind. The prices are reasonable for a city centre bar and there is a good choice of food on offer. The dress code for the day is relaxed in general but smarter dress is required for the evening ...
