Bacchus Restaurant, Brewery & Billiards

Visited Friday evening. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was great! Loved the Bacchus burger and fresh-cut fries, especially with my trio of dipping sauces. The boom boom sauce had the perfect spicy heat, the cilantro crema had the perfect fresh pop of herb, and the horseradish aioli had the perfect balance of creaminess and bite. Can you tell I love dipping sauces? Can't wait to visit again soon.

We came here for lunch during the week so got a different experience as it was pretty empty. Staff was amazing and the smash burger was pretty good. They're gluten free options were limited to salads.

Absolutely horrible experience here. Walked in at 5:30 on a Saturday and couldn’t have regretted it more. The bartender served our drinks and then went upstairs and disappeared for 10 minutes. There were MULTIPLE tables complaining about their food not coming in a reasonable amount of time. I witnessed with my own eyes, two separate parties of 4 that got up and left because they never received their food. We ordered Spinach and Artichoke Dip which is EXTREMELY easy to prepare and never received it after waiting for over 30 mins.

Would NOT recommend eating here during busy peak hour, as it was a terrible experience for me and many others.

Staff is nice and friendly, but seemed overwhelmed. Service was not great — forgot about us multiple times, waited an hour after being seated to finally get our food, they forgot the silverware which we eventually just had to get up and get ourselves, and no one checked on us after the food was served. We didn’t expect the food to be amazing, it was fine — very basic but not terrible. However, all things considered, definitely wouldn’t recommend coming here for the food / restaurant. Maybe it’s a better experience at the bar.

Tldr: Great onion rings and sauce. Everything else was awful. Very sad.

For some reason, the service was awful. The place did not look busy but we waited a long time to get anything. Took a while to get our order taken. We didn't even get plates and utensils until after we got our food. Our waitress kept ignoring us but we stayed polite and kind to her. Very weird behavior.

Appetizers: spinach and artichoke was good but it only came with 10 small tortilla chips. So we used big scoops but still had 66 percent of the dip left over. We asked for more chips and were told no. This is what I am most upset about. How dare you serve a dip with only ten measly chips for 4 people.

The sampler platter was decent all around. The onion rings were some of the best onion rings I've had and the reason I gave the food a 2 instead of a 1.

Entrees: Both burgers we got were inedible. They were way over cooked and burnt.

Quesadilla was cold and the cheese tasted sour.

Fish and chips was the only good entree. Well seasoned and fried.

Bathroom: Mens bathroom the toilet was leaking. Upon flushing water gushed out and ruined my sneakers.

I was here with my wife and my friend.
I had coconut shrimp which was pretty good and Chilli with beef which was very disappointing, the menu promised a classic chilli bowl, I got a bowl which was half filled with rice on top one tablespoon of ground beef and half a can of beans on top. The whole thing then was covered with a thick layer of melted cheese. Since the whole thing was burning hot my guess is it was heated in the microwave. I would not have ordered this if the menu would have advertised rice. I left like 90% in the bowl, the waiter cleared the table like it is normal to return the food almost untouched.
Sorry but I really didn't like it.
My friend had Fish and chips, fish was not crispy and stale.
My wife had Pasta Alfredo which was okay and after that Apple pie with ice cream which was okay except the spoon which came with it had a 1 cent big blackish food trace on it. After we all stared at the spoon the waiter recognized it and brought a fresh one.
With the check another surprise was waiting for us, there was a surcharge applied for paying with credit. While this is legal in New York it would have been nice to mention that on the menu.
Overall the performance was disappointing. Credits for the humorous waiter.

Have to tell you, we went here a few years ago and loved it. Went here this past Wednesday and were extremely disappointed in the food. First off the bar was sticky. The burger I got kept me awake all night. The fries were cold. My wife’s dinner was over cooked. What used to be a good place went downhill. The server was great. Food…….. not so much

My name is Andrew Parsons. I was there on Saturday playing pool with my kids. They took my credit card and when I was done, I paid cash. And then they also ran my credit card. So somebody stuck the cash in their pocket. And then ran my credit card. Really nice.

Eaten here a handful of times and its good for a nice bite but what this place is really a gem for is all of its fun offerings;events, good drinks, and billiards.

From the live music, to the karaoke, and lets not forget the drag shows, Baccus always brings an unforgettable night to New Paltz.

Outdoor dining in the daytime is available, and the patio is also great at night for a good smoke.

10/10 definitly one of my favorite bars in New Paltz.
