Title: Bacchus Post by: mattboyslim on Friday, November 25, 2005, 11:20:10 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? Title: Bacchus Post by: janaage on Friday, November 25, 2005, 11:22:36 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. Title: Bacchus Post by: Sippo on Friday, November 25, 2005, 11:24:54 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.

http://www.swindonweb.com/bacchus/map.html Sounds 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. Title: Bacchus Post by: McLovin on Friday, November 25, 2005, 11:42:44 I used to like Coyote...
Title: Bacchus Post by: janaage on Friday, November 25, 2005, 11:49:00 Coyote was good when busy, had a few good nights in there. Bit on the small side though.

Title: Bacchus Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, November 25, 2005, 12:25:48 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.

Bacchus was more your Roman God of food and wine.....like the Greek God Dionysus.....Bacchus is a more catchy name, probably because of the Bacchanalian orgy Title: Bacchus Post by: jim on Friday, November 25, 2005, 12:38:18 Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" Quote from: "mattboyslim" Pray tell reginald, is Bacchus the greek god of something?

Enough rope Reg,hang me with it [as i know i must be wrong:) :-))( Title: Bacchus Post by: jim on Friday, November 25, 2005, 22:20:05 Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" Quote from: "jim" Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" Quote from: "mattboyslim" Pray tell reginald, is Bacchus the greek god of something?
