We couldn't have dreamed a better place to get married. We, big-event neophytes with questionable abilities, were in such good hands with Meryl, who was calm, kind, knowledgeable, flexible, and responsive as the wedding took shape over time. She was an enormous help—she put us in contact with all kinds of vendors (flowers, photographer), she helped us with the seating, the menu, the printing of table lists, etc etc etc, all those things you do not (I hope) think of when you propose to each other.

The space? Beautiful, spacious, flexible in all weathers. For us it drizzled; it did not matter. The awnings are great and create an intimate vibe. Didn't even notice them. The space is flexible, has a lot of room for different permutations.

The service? Perfect! Meryl and the team made everyone feel at home. Khaza, wine master and charmer, was a delight to work with.

The food? Fabulous. Everyone loved it, said it was among the better wedding food they'd ever had. People keep talking about it. Trust Guillaume. He is the real deal.

Go with Bacchus! They are divine!

This place is absolute gold! My now-husband and I had our wedding here in September. The whole thing was incredibly last minute, as we had to suddenly switch venues due to space issues. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Our wedding, on a Friday during the day, for around 75 people, was such a lovely experience.

Even though we were working with a deadline of less than two months (!!) everything turned out perfectly, if not better than expected.

Meryl, the events manager, is incredible. She jumped on everything immediately -- providing a contract, menu options, seating chart information. The whole planning process was so easy and seamless. She and her staff have thought of everything already, so all we had to do was communicate our preferences.

Some of our event required a little prep onsite the day before (we had a freestanding chuppah that needed to be set up and decorated), and not only did they accommodate us being there the day before to do that, the staff moved the structure the morning of the ceremony and accommodated storage during the remainder of the event. I ordered bulk flowers for delivery the day before and the staff prepared them and supplied the bud vases for the table, saving my friend and me lots of time. Sound system is great, including an available mic for the ceremony and speeches. While a DJ is always nice, it doesn't feel necessary at this venue if you prepare a great playlist. Meryl will make sure the music is timed as it should be.

The setup for the ceremony is just so stunning with the cafe chairs, greenery and string lights.

The food is really excellent. I don't know how their kitchen manages to get out a perfectly timed, muti-course, high-quality meal to so many people. It is really impressive and our guests couldn't stop raving about the food.

I think Bacchus is so great for weddings because of the professional dedicated staff, but also, because they have smartly set up their restaurant and outdoor spaces with ample flexibility that allows couples to personalize their event without working too hard to do so.

Anyone looking for an intimate, elegant, delicious, affordable, and beautiful wedding in Brooklyn need not look any further. I wish I could do it all over again! Thanks again to Meryl and her staff, for one of the best days of my life!

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Bacchus Bistro, and would choose them a thousand times over. We were initially interested in Bacchus because they have an awesome outdoor garden area that has a roof (and optional clear sides) AND the space still feels very outdoorsy, so that in case it rains and/or is windy, you can still use the space and have the garden-vibe. We did a ton of research and honestly couldn't find any other places in Brooklyn that had an outdoor area with a roof in case it rained but that also still felt outdoorsy. Guests kept telling us how nice the space was. But given the temperature was in the high 50s, we only did drinks in the outdoor space, and we had the dinner in the private dining room. Guests were raaaaaaaving about the food. Seriously, flawless food. Tuna tartar, roasted eggplant, hanger steak, salmon, lasagna-- all perfect!!!!! Every single dish was a 10/10. This was no surprise because, when my partner and I got dinner here before, our meals were also amazing, but we were so happy hearing everyone else complimenting Bacchus on the food too. We feel like Bacchus is a small hidden gem in Brooklyn, not super well known, but has incredible food, space, and vibes that make it deserve way more hype/recognition than it gets. Meryl was also a pleasure to work with. SO easy to work with, very meticulous and on-top of things, and super easy to communicate with in the months/weeks leading up to the dinner.


Awesome, unique space and literally flawless food, couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you so, so much Meryl and team!!!! We will be back again and again!!
