Bacchus Restaurant is great, If you are looking for a quick meal then this is not what you want, but if you are looking for a place that gives you time to enjoy everything they have to offer and the company you bring with you and find a place that let's you choose the pace of your choice as to give you the time to make the best of your time, if you want a little quicker pace then say so, if you want to enjoy your company and conversation along with the many amenities they have to offer please say so the servers are not mind readers and they are human (we are not perfect people) sometimes things happen and sometimes things go really well, if you feel like your not being attended to then please let someone else know, speak up, talk so you can be heard from not yelling but so someone can hear you, if you are having a good time say something let them know, if you feel like you had a not so good or bad time say something let them know, remember people it's like any other establishment it's run by people just like you and if the place has been there for over 30 years maybe more, then they must be doing something right by listening to there customers weather good or bad that's why they are still in business people, I truly love the place and the beers ? on tap served just like they did in Greece, Germany and like at temperatures between 40° & 55° degrees, remember that beer was around before refrigeration and usually to truly taste a beer on tap is to taste it above 39° if it's brewed on site or if that is the way it is supposed to be served so you can truly appreciate the taste of the beer your drinking, if you really want a cold one then order a bottled beer from the refrigerator, but please understand people give someone a chance if they messed up don't keep complaining people remember that we are human we do mess up sometimes and we learn from our mistakes or did some of you people out there forget that you once or twice messed up ,we learn from our mistakes and others that have been there, but anyway this place is FANTASTIC to me, good job Bacchus Restaurant I don't think there has been a dish I didn't like here and I try something at least once ! ! !
My girlfriend ordered one of the vegan dishes (buffalo seitan wrap) and as someone who has eaten both chicken and seitan numerous times, I am fairly certain she was served chicken. Service was fine, except for the fact that I overheard staff talking about my girlfriend while she was in the restroom because she questioned whether or not the dish she was served contained animal products; quite unprofessional. Also, there is a trough in the men's room, which made me feel as though I was at Giant's Stadium in 1983.

We bring people here for the brussel sprouts , and overall it's a lovely place to eat. Very on brand for a day in New Paltz town. Indie, homey, fun activities. Amazing for vegetarians-- Lindsay's beyond burger and cauliflower wings are excellent. Molly was very sweet and attentive, and the staff as a whole has always brought a grounded homey feel. You can play ping pong, pool, or foosball after eating. It turns into a bar at some point, but 21 and younger crowds can come play during the day.

Short male bartender was wasted during the visit to Bacchus on Friday night. Felt bad for the other staff and overheard he was a manager. Very upset by this revelation as I have visited New Paltz as someone who graduated and lived here years ago. This man is putting a bad reputation on the establishment and I hope there is something done to create a better environment for the young girls who work there.

If I could this a negative star for the experience then I would. Came in on a Saturday around 5:30ish. We had the “acting manager” behind the bar and I wasn’t impressed at all. Having warm beers on tap, ordering boneless wings for them to be chicken tenders, and being ignored for about 25 mins when trying to get our check and to go boxes. Waitress at the end of the bar just watching the “acting manager” attend to only one side of the bar instead of helping as well. The atmosphere was nice, but the overall service was terrible. Not worth your money when you’re going to be treated this way.Parking: Mini parking lot on the side of the building.

They have pool tables, which is a huge plus. However, the pool tables are in terrible shape, are dirty, and the room where the tables are is dirty. Beer selection is very good. Staff is nice.
fun time & decent food/drinks, just wish we knew the cost before we opened a pool tab.

Had to wait AN HOUR for our meal after we ordered it! Totally unacceptable! Not a reflection on the waitress, though. She was very good. She said they were short-staffed in kitchen. Bathrooms are pigsties. Have been there is the past but won’t be going back.

This restaurant needs to be shut down by the health DEPARTMENT. Severely deteriorated from the amazing restaurant it was in the past.. The meal was mediocre, very costly 20% mandatory tip. But the BATHROOM WERE INHABITABLE, TOILETS CLOGGED, FILTFY, WE HAD TO LEAVE , DRIVE HOME TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AND COME BACK! The meal took a long time although the restaurant was barely occupied. If the public bathrooms were in that condition, I wonder what the cleanliness of the kitchen is. Don't eat there.

I grew up in this town and I have been to every incarnation of Bacchus. I remember the salad bar upstairs - I've been missing that for years. This evening will be the last time I visit this establishment. We were five adults. Two of us had a glass of wine, one a glass of juice. A few salads, a coupla veggie quesadillas, a pasta dish. The food took, I dunno... 25 minutes? The place was not busy. The waitress was lovely. A coupla people strolled through three times with two not small dogs on leashes. The wait for the food inspired some of us to use the bathroom, wash our hands. The bathrooms in the restaurant were filthy and not in working order. Clogged toilets and so filthy - we thought about leaving but decided to try the bathroom in the billiard hall. That bathroom was taped shut with an "out of order" sign. I can't imagine what the condition could be to be deemed out of order when the "functioning" bathrooms were essentially out of order. And now I can't imagine what the kitchen must be like if that's what the customer facing bathrooms look like. The food was mediocre at best. Bye bye Bacchus. :(

Really bad service. We were a party of 5. Place was not even half full. Waitress had a very lazy 'who cares' attitude. Food all came out at different times. Waited an hour for one of the meals. Then, the waitress automatically added a 20% tip to the bill. We were all in a good mood, made the best of it. Lousy, inconsiderate, insulting service.
