Been invited out tonight for a mates birthday. He mentioned going to Bacchus in Old Town, I've found it on the net (never knew it existed, apparently attached to Studio).
Ha anyone been there? What can i expect?

Is that the bit that was added to Mission? Apparentley it's a completely seperate place from The Studio now, no access to the other side once you're in. So I've been told.
Not sure if it's any good though.

I heard it was a 70's and 80's music type of place. Usually I would be tempted but still reminds me of studio. There are much better places to go imo.

Probably right, the map gives the impression it's what was coyote loco back in the day: http://www.swindonweb.com/bacchus/map.htmlSounds like it'll be cool/funky etc on a friday. IE £3 a pint but it should be OK as I get to meet my mate who's back from Amsterdam in Steam first. |

Coyote was good when busy, had a few good nights in there. Bit on the small side though.

In the late 70's early 80's.....a Greek restaurant called Bacchus opened, in the old Horder shop building, which is now the block of flats right next to the Lawn entrance.
Quite a bit of dosh was spent on doing it up, but Swindon just didn't seem to have the palate for mousaka and souvlaki.
It only lasted maybe 18 months/2 years before going bust.

Didn't they [the Greeks/Romans]work themselves up so much during these orgies that they would rip each other to shreds?Especially the women  .Thus the cult was frowned upon as it was so violent and dissipated . Enough rope Reg,hang me with it [as i know i must be wrong:) :-))( |
