Pub facilities/features:

General information: You’ll find the Bacchus in the heart of Newcastle city centre, where it was recently refurbished with a subtle grand ocean liner theme. Its walls are now lined with black and white images that affectionately look back to Tyneside’s ship building past, and it’s a fantastic place to learn about the history of one of the region’s biggest industries. It’s also a great place to stop off before or after a visit to the Theatre Royal which is on a neighbouring street, and it’s close to Monument Metro station and many other popular entertainment venues, too. Visit during the day, and you can take advantage of a varied and high-quality menu that includes snacks and quick lunches, and which perfectly complements the pub’s wide selection of cask ales, fantastic choice of microbrewery beers, and extensive wine list. And with a regular listing in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, it’s easy to understand why this is one of the city’s most popular pubs.

Good range of ales. Clean. Friendly. Recommended.

Great choice of real ale and a very nicely fitted out pub. The toilets are a bit of a climb but worth it for the superb photographs of Newcastle on the way.

Beer good - very good often, but THE BLOODY NOISE OF THE MUSIC WAY TOO LOUD DUE TO THE PILLOCKS IN THEIR LATE TEENS EARLY 20'S SERVING BEHIND THE BARS.. WHERE IS THE ********** MANAGER FOR GOD'S SAKE ?????? (Marked as 6 because of this)

Relatively trendy city centre pub down a side street. Nicely fitted out (the aim being to resemble the bar of an ocean liner I believe) with eight real ales to choose from.

Having been a semi-regular at the old Bacchus, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the new bar. Of course it's not the same, but piecing the old place together would have been impossible, and absurd. (Shouldn't have knocked it down in the first place, but that's another issue.)
Fist off, the beer choice - and quality - is excellent. The clientele is as mixed and as un-charverish as you could want. The design is, I think, tasteful - not garishly trendy, but not affectedly Olde Worlde. The old black mark is the Burberry carpet on the stairs which, in any event, is looking a bit tatty already.
Good 'snug' area for cosy gatherings.
Decent wine - but a bit pricey.
