⭐⭐
If Nicholson’s weren’t so awful then it should have 5 or 6 cask options, but at times you’ll be lucky to find 2 or 3 at most. A stock range of alternatives to beer. |
Style/
Décor
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Here is where Bacchus shines. Cheesy? Definitely. Bad taste? Undoubtedly, but there’s a calm confidence with about how its but together. Think roman arches, Bacchanalian portraits and heraldry mixed with gothic cellars. |
Atmosphere/
Character
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pretty decent. There’s always the prospect of a rabble joining due to it being a city centre chain, but the cellar atmosphere stands out.

Very poor, even for the area |
Description
|
Despite chain ownership, erratic drinks selection and very poor value, we add this because it’s so assertively, ridiculously fun. The Bacchus decor mixed with faux-Medieval works surprisingly well, almost transfixing in its luridness. There’s nothing quite like this, certainly not in Birmingham anyway.
