Jacqueline G. Sent on 03/25/2024Wish I could do it all again!
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. -

Alana L. Sent on 12/28/2023Beautiful, intimate, and romantic dinner celebration
We did a buyout of Bacchus's wine room (for cocktail hour) and dining room (for dinner) to celebrate our elopement with our friends and family. It was an intimate affair with only 37 of us dining that evening and was an absolutely perfect evening, from the food, the drinks, the coordination, music and more. Meryl, who worked with us to plan our event, was incredible and made our vision for the evening come true.
Planning & Coordination: Meryl was fantastic. She was attentive in talking through our plans for the evening and flexible with accommodating any special asks for the evening to really make the event special for our guests. She was especially helpful in figuring out the right seating arrangement for our guests to ensure that the room felt connected and cohesive. Communication was so easy and all the final planning in the days leading up to the event was done so effortlessly that when the day came, there was nothing to worry about. We were able to enjoy the evening with our guests.
Food: Excellent. Our guests LOVED the food. We served the meal family style so everyone had a little bit of everything. We have friends that are saying they'll go back for dinner soon.
Staff: The staff was amazing, they were attentive and well-coordinated. Everything flowed so well.
Atmosphere: It was a really sweet, intimate, romantic evening. We had lots of candles everywhere (both supplied by myself and Bacchus) and it made the room look so beautiful.
If you ever need to host an intimate dinner in Brooklyn, I highly recommend inquiring with Bacchus. Or if you just want to have a delicious dinner (or brunch), definitely go too! I cannot wait to go back.

Bacchus is incredible!
We had our wedding at Bacchus and cannot recommend the venue and the entire team highly enough! The venue was beautiful and worked perfectly for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. Meryl, the event coordinator, was amazing to work with-- very experienced, helpful and responsive. Khaza, the sommelier, helped us choose the wines and even had a call with us a month or so before the wedding to go over everything. The food was delicious and the service was flawless, including specially dealing with food allergies in a way that put our mind at our ease. The bartenders were great during the reception. We are so thankful that we had our wedding at Bacchus and love everyone that helped pull it off! -

Best Wedding!
We held our wedding at Bacchus in June 2024. It was perfect - everything I could’ve dreamed of! I found Bacchus when looking for a more affordable venue in NYC - with Bacchus, you really get a good bang for your buck! We rented the entire restaurant out for our ceremony and reception. We had 100 guests with a live band. Bacchus is such a beautiful space on its own - we provided a minimal amount of flowers but we didn’t need much else as it shines on its own! Meryl was so helpful leading up to the wedding, and day of was a huge assist. There was a slight chance of rain, but she helped arrange the seating so that everyone could still be in the same area. She even helped me zipper my outfit at one point! The food was incredible - many people told me it was the best food at a wedding they’ve ever had! The service was impeccable, too - the servers moved seamlessly in and out during speeches and no one’s wine glass was ever empty! The reception after dinner was a blast - it felt like a fun, intimate house party. The only bummer was that the night ended! I would highly recommend hosting any event here. -

5 stars! Beautiful, high quality, professional and affordable.
We cannot express enough how ecstatic we were with Bacchus hosting our wedding. This was the absolute best decision we could have made. Not only were they extremely affordable with highly competitive pricing for the area, but the quality of the food, treatment, service and venue was unbeatable. Our dream Brooklyn wedding was made a reality (in only 8 months!) because of Bacchus.
The staff were phenomenal and went above and beyond. Each and every one of them. They were completely hands on every step of the way and covered every detail, even the ones we didn’t think of. Our decor was assembled and put up for us. All the drinks we wanted were served. Every allergy (and there were many) was perfectly accommodated. The wine selection was top tier! Thank you, Kaza! And the food!! Wow! Chef’s kiss. Our guests continue to talk about it to this day.
The space is so minimalistic, beautiful and rustic. Very little needed to be added to complete our vision. We were even supplied with a beautiful cage for our cards so we did not have to buy our own. My guests were so well taken care. WE were so well taken care of! They were with us every step of the way and with the best and kindest attitudes, it’s almost hard to believe.
A very special thank you to Meryl for her leadership, kindness, attention to detail and cool control. Her support was truly priceless and allowed us to just be present on our special day. We could not recommend Bacchus more. Truly. A million thanks and a lifetime of memories made. We’ve shared some of our favorite pictures to reflect our deep gratitude.
Sincerely,
Chrystelle & Ra -

The Perfect Place for a rehearsal dinner in Brooklyn
We held the rehearsal dinner for my son and his fiance on May 19th at Bacchus restaurant. We live in Virginia, but Meryl at Bacchus made the planning and execution of the event seamless. The wedding was at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens so we wanted a venue in Brooklyn that could accommodate up to 45 people. Bacchus fit our needs. We could not have been happier with our choice. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend Bacchus for a rehearsal dinner or a wedding venue. -

Amazing food, staff, and venue for the perfect intimate Brooklyn wedding!
There are not enough words to describe the amount of gratitude and appreciation we have for all of the staff at Bacchus Bistro for making our wedding such a beautiful and magical night! It’s rare you go to a wedding and remember the food! All of our guests kept raving about how amazing the food was and how friendly the staff was. Bacchus went above and beyond our expectations in every way possible. They were phenomenal, especially Meryl, to work with from the start! I highly recommend them for any special event! They take true pride in their food, service, and hospitality! -

Cara C. Sent on 10/15/2021Perfect Rehearsal Dinner Spot
Bacchus hosted our August 2021 rehearsal dinner, and we could not be happier with how things went. Meryl and Bruno know exactly what they’re doing, and the event went perfectly—the food was fantastic, the garden was beautiful, the waiters were very attentive (no empty wine glasses!), and they were incredibly accommodating with our various last-minute requests and questions. They also did a wonderful job setting up the space; the lights and draping in the back garden felt magical, and they set up the flowers, linens, and decorations beautifully.
Our guests had a wonderful time, and we would recommend Bacchus to anyone. Thank you again, Meryl and Bruno! -

Emma A. Sent on 12/14/2022Incredible experience and great value, all in one venue!
We had the BEST experience working with Meryl and the whole team at Bacchus. The venue is beautiful, the food is incredible and we were so happy to have an intimate, accessible space in downtown Brooklyn to host our wedding, without breaking the bank. Meryl is a brilliant event coordinator and will help you with any and all details, from table design to seating chart to getting people organized to walk down the aisle. Bacchus is the perfect place to host a small wedding (under 100), I highly recommend working with them! -

Stella Sent on 09/15/2019Unique NYC gem and summer wedding
We wanted an intimate, elegant and festive summer wedding and Bacchus provided that and more! It's so rare to find outdoor NYC venues that match your vision and Bacchus went above & beyond our expectations. Three key highlights include location, food and service.
Location: Elegant, cozy and minimalist decor with a friendly and casual sophistication. It's a perfect mix of city and nature for out of town guests (and locals). Also, the venue is easily accessible with street parking and public transportation nearby.
Food: We received glowing reviews from our guests about the food, drink and dessert menu! Thanks to Bacchus for working with us to customize a brunch menu that was allergy-friendly and tasty.
Service: Meryl and the entire Bacchus team provided excellent support and made the day run so smoothly. Big shout out to Meryl, who makes the Bacchus magic happen. She is highly professional, very organized and extremely talented in planning special events. Meryl was very responsive to emails and provided timely updates/feedback/ideas throughout our discussions. She was such a joy to work with and is the reason why we decided to work with Bacchus.
Highly recommend Bacchus for your wedding or special event. -

Christie Sent on 01/26/2020Hidden Brooklyn oasis!
I lived around the corner from Bacchus for five years and it was always my favorite restaurant, one of the first spots I took my (now) husband to. We were struggling to find a venue that felt "us," until one night we walked past Bacchus and saw a wedding was taking place in the beautiful back garden. My then-fiancé and I had the same thought at the same time, so we did our research and set up time with Meryl. We immediately knew we'd be in good hands. The entire Bacchus team is wonderful -- friendly, accommodating and responsive. They have you do your tasting BEFORE you sign the contract - because they are one of the few venues that take pride in their food. Tom and I had eaten so many lackluster wedding meals, so this was important to us and they delivered. Countless guests told us it was the best wedding meal they've ever had. The location was beautiful -- allowing us to have our dream "backyard wedding in Brooklyn". It glows with fairy lights and the gorgeous tree that's the focal point of the garden. We were able to comfortably fit all 120 of our guests in the 2 adjacent gardens for both the seated ceremony and dinner. Then we migrated into the restaurant for our reception/dance party. Bacchus let us stay dancing until 1am! It really was the perfect night, made so special because of the Bacchus staff. If you want proof of the staff's excellence, ask to borrow my wedding videos -- subtly in the background, you'll see Meryl and Alvaro swooping in to ensure our day was perfect: fluffing the train on my dress as I walked by, adjusting a tree branch to not interfere with our best man's head, keeping the wine glasses full. Thank you to the team there for everything! -

Elizabeth Sent on 05/23/2019Simply perfect venue for our wedding
We loved Bacchus! From start to finish, Meryl and the team made sure we were well taken care of. We had the opportunity to try many of the menu items, and chose wine to accompany them. They are extremely responsive via email, and helped us plan out the whole day. We had around 75 people attend, but the venue can hold up to 120 (ish). Multiple guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding (or ever had in their lives! in some cases). Just fabulous! I highly recommend them. -

Rebecca C. Sent on 05/27/2019Incredible Hidden Gem
We had our wedding recently at Bacchus and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Meryl, Bruno, and the entire team exemplified professionalism and hospitality. The backyard is so beautiful and looked like a string light dream land for our reception. Getting married under that big tree was heaven. The whole wedding was intimate, laid back, romantic, and exactly what we wanted. Meryl and Bacchus handled everything--from decorating to coordination with vendors, etc. I didn't need to do a thing the day of except show up. Above all else (and most importantly) the food was insanely good. I want everyone to have the wonderful experience we did and get married there. -
Sarah Sent on 11/02/2017Having our wedding at Bacchus Bistro was a perfect, magical experience. It was perfect for us because of who we uniquely are and wanted. We wanted an intimate, comfortable, and heartfelt wedding with a touch of nature (the garden and that magical tree), great food & wine (try the hanger steak, gnocchi and pumpkin soup!), and warm, courteous service. Bacchus had all of this. The wedding coordinator Meryl and head chef Alvaro were gracious and very knowledgeable hosts. We knew and trusted we were in the hands of professionals. We can go on and on about this venue. it is a special place, and a local treasure.

Erica Sent on 10/29/2017My husband and I got married at Bacchus in May 2017. Prior to planning our wedding, we had been to Bacchus for dinner and brunch, always having a wonderful experience. After beginning our wedding planning, Bacchus was an easy choice for our wedding venue. We loved that Bacchus was able to accommodate a smaller wedding (we had around 60 guests), we were also excited about the ability to have our ceremony and dinner reception in the back garden.
Throughout the year before our wedding, we were in constant contact with Meryl, an incredible person and resource, who really helped bring all of the details of our wedding together. We had a wonderful food tasting followed by an equally wonderful wine tasting a couple months before our wedding. Meryl stayed in constant contact with us throughout these months, ensuring that everything was coming together smoothly. As our wedding date approached and we had our last meeting at Bacchus we knew without a doubt that we were in incredibly great hands.
Our wedding day was beautiful and came together perfectly. This was largely due to Meryl and the incredible team at Bacchus. We received constant compliments throughout the evening on pretty much everything Bacchus had to offer including the passed hors d'oeuvre, entrees, wine and dessert. My husband created dinner and after dinner playlists and we were able to easily connect to the sound system at Bacchus, and the music during dinner sounded great. The garden is beautiful, so we did not really add much as far as decor, just simple centerpieces that we dropped off the night before and Meryl's team set up for us. At around 10 pm, our party transitioned inside to the wine bar where we were able to continue having a great time. The Bacchus team even brought in the remaining cupcakes on the cupcake tower for our guests to enjoy.
