I love eating here, it is fine dining at its best. The food is always amazing and the wine fantastic. The only negative I have to bring up is that I noticed that the staff seem to know less about he menu then on my previous visits.

I went here for a kitchen tea on a Sunday afternoon and it was just wonderful. The finger sandwich and cakes were delicious and the tea and champagne was flowing. Can't wait to go back- what a beautiful venue for a Sunday afternoon.

Bacchus is outstanding in every way. The food is amazing, great wines and deserts to die for. The service is excellent and a beautiful setting.

I regularly dine or drink at Bacchus. Unquestionably one of the finest venues in a spectacular old theatre. At it's best it offers a 1 chef hat dining experience if not better. Nothing beats cocktails and tapas in their bar. The champagne list needs some work however. Main problem is I sense declining service and food standards. My last 2 visits were slightly dissappointing with unhelpful service, inconsistent food quality and the tapas menu has shrunk somewhat. I believe they are funding a cocktail bar upstairs but I hope this is not at the expense of the fine food and service which gained them a strong following from the beginning.

This place is amazing. My partner and I got engaged here and were so impressed we are having our wedding reception here later in the year. The food and service are second to none. This is truly one of Newcastle's hidden gems!
