Squirrel yourself into a (themed) corner....
If you want an unusual, cosy place to tuck yourself into a corner and talk the evening away, come here. Decorated in incredible style (all eras and styles vie for space on the walls, ceilings and furnishings) and with a low light atmosphere, this has long been a favourite haunt of mine for relaxed or special drinks.
Although pricier than the local wetherspoons, but very often nearly as packed, the lack of overbearing music makes this an ideal place for earnest conversation. Although known as a wine bar, there are drinks of all descriptions, plus standard fare pub food. Bacchus attracts a varied crowd, but being an over 21 bar you also miss tend to miss the crowds of pre-club teenagers, which is always a bonus!
In short, you must visit Bacchus at least once – mainly just to marvel at the décor!
