Mega! From the entrance to the majestic bar, simply beautiful. There is something to discover, a lot of attention to detail. You can try all tap beers for free😀 Food is - as British food is - if you like it, it's great... Definitely worth a visit! Attention 0 cell phone reception 🤭🤭

Always a fantastic atmosphere, although first time having food here and it did not disappoint! Izzy was one of the best waitresses we’ve ever had - so bubbly and just an all round champion. Large glasses of the Shiraz was around £11, the Nicholsons Burger (best I’ve had admittedly for many a year) was £18.50 - and worth it! Booked in advance, although definitely a few tables for walk-ins I’d say. Overall, I love this place and it’s awesome Victoria-esque style.

We visited with our dog. I booked a table however for what ever reason we were not able to book for the dining room but the staff saved a table for us in the bar area. The staff on were fabulous. The didn't just accept or tolerate our dog the went out of the way to welcome him. Fetching water and fussing him. Embarassingly our dog was sick. We asked for some equipment which we could clean up with but they wouldn't hear of it and insisted on clearing it up for us. All the staff that night were personable and friendly they behaved as if nothing was too much trouble. We would gladly recommend The Baccus Bar to our friends and will definitely make a return visit.

I love the Bacchus Bar. Your server is wonderful, pleasant, efficient and happy in her job. The food is lovely and very reasonably priced. My friend and I only use the Bacchus Bar in the City, despite many other restaurants to choose from, because it is so welcoming.

Bacchus is an atmospheric bar that's designed to look like something from the Middle Ages. It has a decent choice of beers and is well placed, by Birmingham New Street Station, to act as a meeting place before or after train journeys.

I don't leave a whole lot of reviews, but for this place I am making an exception. I joked on FB: "An hour wait for food? This better be amazing food." It absolutely was. The only thing I'm upset about is that I wasn't hungry enough to devour every bit of it. Legitimately, if I could get the pie filling in a bowl like a stew, I'm relatively certain I could eat two pounds of it. The vegetables were also fantastic, and the chips were top notch on their own, but with the side of sauce it came with: beautiful. Highly recommend. Show up early and hungry. Also, the staff were completely slammed, but they handled it like total pros. Props to them.

Love this place! Full of atmosphere and theatre, top range of drinks and service stop on. This bar is under the Hotel and as such you can't get a mobile signal so everyone is talking, socialising and there's no annoying phone use. I didn't eat here so can't comment on the quality, but the menu looks pretty comprehensive and eclectic. It's not the cheapest place to eat and drink but it's full of charm, and pseudo history.

This venue has to be seen to be believed - truly awe inspiring but why do they try to sell so many cask ales when there does not appear to be the demand? Perhaps it’s best to try before buying then you don’t have to ask for it to be replaced?

Tuesday 14th January 2025 This pub next to Birmingham New Street Station is a gem it is like a Belgium pun under the ground and feels like a typical Ntwerp church bar The place resembles a 18rh centuary church interior and the staff and clentelle so behaved this pub has 5 hand pumped ales on and there are so well kept. This pub, for all the reasons , is an essential visit when drinking in Birmingam

Been here before years ago on a friday night when it was lively and heaving. This time I visited during a quiet daytime. It's a striking place to be in terms of decor. They serve some fantastic beers on tap, and are also good for a coffee. They made my wife a lovely cappuccino. The service was superb and friendly. I know the place must be good when my wife talks about going back there again. It's a shame we had elsewhere to be, as we could've happily spent a couple of hours here.

Loved the surroundings and atmosphere of the place but £7.25 for a pint of Madris is extortionate. We had the Sunday dinner after seeing other diners getting theirs and was extremely disappointed. Two small slices of dried out Beef and the vegetables were just about warm. Looked like the food had been sat under a heat lamp for to long. Also £4.50 for a tiny portion of cauliflower cheese is overpriced. I don't mind paying for good food but at least try and serve it hot

The Baccus bar is my favourite place to visit whenever I go into Birmingham. On Sunday, the barccus bar freezing cold. The service was awful. The staff must have been new, didn't know how to make cocktails, they had to read ingredients from the till. No fruit in the pimms, just a large piece of mint. Very disappointing.

We were here on a Saturday evening for a few drinks. The atmosphere and interior were very nice - a really interesting place to relax. However, the service leaves much to be desired. There were only two bartenders working at the bar , and unfortunately they did not know how to make cocktails correctly: the proportions were wrong, and they could not make a non-alcoholic cocktail at all. I wish the staff knew the menu better and knew how to make drinks, especially on weekends when the flow of guests is high. We hope that in the future the service will be at the level of the atmosphere of the establishment.

A hidden gem of a restaurant and bar. Gothic, Egyptian, old gentlemans club rolled into one. Besides the decor a great choice of beers and British menu. Not a cheap venue, but not expensive just right. Older adults feel at home, and no animals so you can relax. A real Harry Potter of a place said one of my group. .

I visited this shop last April while I was in town for a friend's wedding and it was such a delight! What an ingenuous idea... getting to sample tea before buying a larger quantity. A cute atmosphere to hang with girlfriends. You're even invited to bring your lunch! You're served cookies with all tea purchases.I was informed around Christmas time that the shop has closed. But now it looks like it's up and running again? New management and shop front? Omg I'll have to inform my friend in Birmingham. She sends the poor soul that is me teas. Great blend variety and quality!

We have visited the Warehouse since 1976 and although not regulars due to living in London for most of the time since then we have never had a bad experience. The food has always been great. We have no problems should the menu be limited. It has been wonderful to eat at a vegetarian venue and I am very sad to hear of the closure. There have been ups and downs over the years and I'm just hoping that for Birmingham's sake someone will come to the rescue. Vegetarianism and Veganism are in vogue so what's the problem?
