We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Bacchus Bistro, and would choose them a thousand times over. We were initially interested in Bacchus because they have an awesome outdoor garden area that has a roof (and optional clear sides) AND the space still feels very outdoorsy, so that in case it rains and/or is windy, you can still use the space and have the garden-vibe. We did a ton of research and honestly couldn't find any other places in Brooklyn that had an outdoor area with a roof in case it rained but that also still felt outdoorsy. Guests kept telling us how nice the space was. But given the temperature was in the high 50s, we only did drinks in the outdoor space, and we had the dinner in the private dining room. Guests were raaaaaaaving about the food. Seriously, flawless food. Tuna tartar, roasted eggplant, hanger steak, salmon, lasagna-- all perfect!!!!! Every single dish was a 10/10. This was no surprise because, when my partner and I got dinner here before, our meals were also amazing, but we were so happy hearing everyone else complimenting Bacchus on the food too. We feel like Bacchus is a small hidden gem in Brooklyn, not super well known, but has incredible food, space, and vibes that make it deserve way more hype/recognition than it gets. Meryl was also a pleasure to work with. SO easy to work with, very meticulous and on-top of things, and super easy to communicate with in the months/weeks leading up to the dinner.


Awesome, unique space and literally flawless food, couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you so, so much Meryl and team!!!! We will be back again and again!!

Bacchus was a spectacular venue for our wedding. We and our guests had a great evening. Meryl, the events coordinator, is great to work with. Before the wedding, she was very receptive to the ideas we had and had a lot of practical suggestions herself. Conversations with her were comfortable and gave us so much confidence; her expertise was clear. She coordinated with all of our vendors seamlessly and ran the day of events smoothly. We had some last-minute weather concerns. Meryl and her whole team were extremely flexible and able to adjust on the fly such that none of our guests realized we were operating with a backup plan. The food and wine at Bacchus is great. We got a lot of compliments from our friends and family. The process for selecting our menu/wine was easy. While they do not serve liquor at Bacchus, they did allow us to bring our own. The venue itself is beautiful. Due to rain, we weren’t able to use the front garden for dinner, but we were still able to get married under their tree. 

I would 100% choose Bacchus if I had to do my wedding all over again :). We did a full buyout in March of 2024. Guests raved about the food. I loved how intimate it could feel for 60 guests. The ceremony was planned for outdoors under the covered patio and it still happened despite just straight downpour. It still had party vibes after dinner with a dj. Meryl and staff were attentive to guests. I never felt like the vendor was trying to hide prices or trick into hidden fees, which just made everything feel so open and I could communicate questions/concerns with Meryl. It was all so great.
