Bacchus is a New Paltz institution – a casual eatery and bar known for its amazing beer selection (with 30+ beers on tap) and laid-back atmosphere. The menu mixes Southwestern-inspired fare (tacos, burritos, fajitas) with pub favorites like wings, burgers, and vegetarian options. Downstairs, the bar area is adorned with local artwork and often packed with students, climbers, and families enjoying live music or trivia nights. Upstairs, Bacchus boasts a full billiards hall with multiple pool tables for patrons. Whether you’re there to sample rare craft brews, shoot a game of pool, or chow down on hearty food after a day in the Gunks, Bacchus welcomes all with its friendly, fun vibe.
