The beer list may seem overwhelming, but the bartenders have a good knowledge of the beers and can deliver one you'll love. We sat at the bar to warm up, get a beer and split a late lunch. We got a California turkey wrap and it was awesome, simple but well executed. The menu is pretty eclectic for bar food,... More

I have sought out the best and biggest beer menus anywhere I go, and this is about as good as it gets. Almost 500 beers including about 13 non alcoholic beers, Gluten free Beers, ciders, etc. They have a few beers that I have been trying to find for a long time and haven't seen anywhere else. But most people... More

Bacchus is THE place to go if you like beer, though their prices can be a little steep depending on your selection. The restaurant offers a great menu as well as bar food. Good live bands on friday and saturday nights. More

People go here for the beer selection. The food, not so much. However, their bar menu is probably better than most. Regular menu- overpriced and the food is average. Try to crab avocado dip- yum! More

Went in a party of four for dinner and drinks. One of the specials on tap was a cider- something I highly appreciate as I'm a fan. They have a separate menu for their beers- three+ pages in tiny font. There are two levels to Bacchus- the main floor with attached billiards hall (the latter being very chilly) and a... More

If you want to hit the New Paltz bar scene Baccus is a must. This place has every beer you can imagine! The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and they have a good sized billiards room with wait staff. Besides the attitude from the young girl waitress in the billiards room when I asked how much to play,... More

Have been going to New Paltz for over 30 years and this was my first time to Bacchus...With 400 beers on the menu and an extensive wine list you can't go wrong. I had the wine tasters special and it was perfect. Three delightfully served wines..Excellent chef..we enjoyed the filet mignon ( cooked perfectly) and the tuna...Nice selection of appetizers...

After a day of climbing or hiking, reward yourself at Bacchus! As soon as the door swung open, I knew that I was in the spot I was looking for - - great beer list and excellent eats to compliment it (note that I did not write that the other way around!). We stayed in New Paltz for 3 days... More

A very nice spot for lunch. The selection of local beers is outstanding! We sat out on the courtyard patio on a wonderful summer day in New Paltz, enjoying a local summer ale and a well prepared sandwich. Nothin' fancy, but we'd go back again when visiting the area. More
