Bacchus Bistro a Vins

We did a brunch buy-out wedding in October 2025 and absolutely loved our experience with Bacchus. Our friends and family are still raving about the food and how nice the whole team at Bacchus was! From the start, Meryl kept us organized while helping us personalize our event. It ended up storming on our wedding weekend, and she quickly switched us to an indoor format that worked perfectly for the day. The whole experience was smooth and the day was absolutely lovely, we can't recommend them enough.

We got married here this July and it was the absolute best (I know everyone says that, but we really mean it)! When looking for venues, we had 3 requirements, our dream venue had to have : 1) a dance floor, 2) an indoor and outdoor space and 3) most importantly, amazing food! Bacchus checked all those boxes and so much more! We were blown away by their incredible staff, their exceptional service and hospitality, and elite level of attention to detail. We had some non-traditional elements for our wedding (it was a surprise for our guests!) and they supported our vision from the start. Our friends and families are STILL raving about the delicious the food, how lovely the staff were and how beautiful the space was for the ceremony and the reception. And we're so grateful we got to create such special memories here. This was truly the best decision we have ever made!!

We could not have had a more perfect October wedding day and that is due almost entirely to Meryl and the team at Bacchus. The process of working with Bacchus from booking all the way through execution was incredibly smooth, accommodating, and generous. The value for what we ultimately spent was above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for. We had a handful of very specific food allergies the Bacchus handled beautifully, and the space was stunning and charming. We are still getting friends telling us how much fun they had and that our wedding was one of the best they’ve ever been to. We had 105 guests in attendance, and the space didn’t feel cramped at all, and we had plenty of room to dance. We also brought in a DIY Photo Booth, and we brought in our own flowers for Bacchus’ existing bud vases. The only extra decor we provided were our paper goods like name cards menus and framed bar signage (although Bacchus will print them for you, I just had a specific look and paper I wanted to design on, and I provided frames) tapered candles and hurricane vases. Bacchus provided votives for smaller candles. Everyone warns brides about “post wedding depression/regret” but if I could do it all again, I wouldn’t change a single thing. It was a perfect day at the perfect place. (Photography by Bryan Sargent)

Bacchus treats you like family. The owner of the restaurant, Bruno, gave us our first tour, the wedding and event coordinator Meryl helped us to plan every detail of an all-inclusive wedding and we were beyond satisfied every step of the way. Likewise, Meryl and her staff were responsive, kind, understanding, and patient with our persistent communication and innumerable questions. Holding to French tradition - they offered incomparable food and drink options, including options for vegan guests, and offered a variety of ways to reach the food and beverage minimum, like additional desserts and wine pairings.

On our wedding day, Meryl and her team were at our sides when we needed them and taking care of everything else such as setting up our unconventional guest book, and ensuring that we kept on pace with our wedding day schedule so we didn’t worry about it.

Bacchus Bistro offers unparalleled value, incredible familial service, and a neighborhood or backyard ambiance that made it an easy choice for my wife and I. Their food and drinks are truly incredible, change seasonally, and will always leave you dreaming for the next time you can return.

We have a special place in our hearts for Bacchus. So much so that when we returned a year later to celebrate our anniversary, Meryl and Francois greeted us by name, wished us a happy anniversary, and helped us to celebrate even while they were hosting another wedding.

Bacchus was the perfect wedding venue for us. From the exceptional service and delicious food to the beautiful ambiance, everything exceeded our expectations and made our special day truly unforgettable. I can’t recommend Bacchus highly enough!

We are convinced that Bacchus is the best wedding venue in the greater NYC area. Meryl and her team helped us to throw a MARVELOUS wedding! It truly could not have been better. The decor took our breath away, the staff were attentive, and our guests gave the food rave reviews! Every transition of the day was handled so smoothly. Choosing Bacchus for our wedding was one of the very best choices we have made as a couple. We cannot imagine having gotten married at any other venue. Meryl and her team at Bacchus made our dreams come true! Look no further!

From the very beginning, we knew we were in great hands with Meryl and the team at Bacchus. They were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. They answered all our questions and made planning our 80-person wedding feel totally stress-free.

On the day-of, everything was perfect, Our guests are still raving about it weeks later —it was genuinely that good. And not your typical wedding fare at all. The wine selections were also amazing (thank you Khaza). Everything was paired and plated so well. The service from the whole team was also flawless throughout the evening. Meryl was amazing at making everything run as smooth as butter. She even planned out a weather contingency for dining which turned out incredibly fortunate.

We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate our big day. Huge thanks to Meryl, Khaza, and the entire Bacchus team for making our wedding so perfect.

We’ll definitely be back for many future date nights, and would recommend Bacchus for any and all special occasion dinners and events, weddings and otherwise. You couldn’t ask for a better team and space!

Bacchus was a godsend. Planning a 150-person wedding in under a year and without any help didn't seem possible at first. But Meryl and her team have a knack for making the impossible a reality that exceeds expectations.

Bacchus truly has it all — a magical indoor and outdoor space with plenty of nooks and crannies for guests to choose-their-own adventure, from intimate conversations to tearing up the dance floor (which was packed the entire time). Our ceremony had a lot of specific needs and Meryl accommodated them all without batting an eye. The food and drinks were fabulous: we had Indian appetizers catered while Bacchus handled additional apps, mains, and desserts, all of which our guests are still raving about. We were a bit worried about having a beer-and-wine wedding, but they even allowed us to supply our own liquor and mixers so guests could enjoy 2 fully stocked bars all night (this saved us a fortune, even with top-shelf everything.)

A few tips for future Bacchus brides/grooms/spouses-to-be: dim the lights in the side rooms to preserve the ambiance, opt for passed-desserts so no one misses out on that crème brûlée, and use that gorgeous tree in the garden as your arch/alter/mandap/chuppah/what have you. You won't regret a thing.

Can't say enough wonderful things about our wedding experience at Bacchus! We planned our wedding swiftly in only 4 months, and the entire team at Bacchus made the whole process very easy and straight-forward. The coordinator Meryl gave us a walk-thru of the space on our first visit and continued to communicate with us via email very promptly and thoroughly throughout the entire process.

We chose Bacchus because we wanted a restaurant that could accommodate a medium-sized party, and luckily for us they had availability and very reasonable rates for our winter wedding. We requested cocktail-style food service instead of sit-down dinner, and the food and wine selections were amazing. We especially enjoyed getting to sample all of the selections and wine pairings a few weeks before the wedding, and we felt that they truly catered to what we wanted. We utilized the backyard space for the ceremony and truly lucked out with it being an unexpectedly warm December day with lots of sunshine. We didn't need to bring in much decor because Bacchus already had such a lovely aesthetic throughout the restaurant. Being a couple who wanted a low-fuss, simple, all-in-one place experience for our wedding, Bacchus provided the perfect vibe with a focus on great food, wine, and a beautiful environment for our guests to mingle freely.

Day of Meryl and the staff assembled flower vases and provided candles, tablecloths, etc. They were even able to accommodate our request to start at 3pm even though it was between their brunch and dinner service, and they moved swiftly to arrange everything very seamlessly in time for the wedding to start. Our guests all had wonderful things to say about the service throughout the entire event.

Our wedding experience at Bacchus was exactly what we were looking for, and we look forward to dining there for years to come.

My now husband and I were first going to have a small elopement ceremony but then decided we wanted to have a bigger celebration with family and friends. Bacchus caught our eye due to the stellar reviews, food options and reasonable pricing for Brooklyn. We reached out to Bacchus in October and was able to plan our wedding for December 20th. Meryl was an absolute delight to work with. We live out of state but Meryl made the planning so easy and was so quick to respond to any questions we had. Our guests keep raving about the food and what a different and beautiful experience it was for a wedding party. We are so grateful to Meryl, the chef and incredible staff for making out night so beautiful! Bacchus will forever have a special place in our hearts.
