Inside the Baxter Hotel, which isn't actually a hotel, this is a good drink spot on Main Street. I stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was packed considering the day and the World Cup was on. They seemed to be short staffed but our waiter was doing the best he could and hustling the entire time. I had the chicken gyro and a cider. The wait was long but I expected that considering how busy they were. If you're looking for a casual drink and wanting to watch a game in downtown this is a good option. I'd come back. read more

Here for a long weekend and I love to try different places. Having said that we ate here twice. The Bavarian pretzel is awesome. The bison burger was delicious and the atmosphere is great. Fish and chips and bangers are just like you get in England. read more

The good: No crowd for dining...even on Father's Day! Friendly staff. Historic building and interior. Got a table with a good view of Bozeman Main Street bustle. Really good background music at the perfect volume for dining. The bad: There are reasons for no dinner crowd* Here the dining used to Be a delicious culinary experience. Now, the experience is, no vision, no direction, no Bacchus-Better-Half (unless you consider the 'pub' to be the better half instead of the dining). Even the god of merriment knows great food goes hand-in-hand with refreshing libations. Sadly, it would seem the menu was forgotten after the first happy hour drinks were served. Tsk. Tsk. The anticipated experience: Sometimes I just get a craving for a favorite kind of food and nothing else will satisfy. This is the case of a timeless classic, The Rubin Sandwich. I am a lover of the Rubin and have been all my adult life. The pan fried Rye bread. The thick juicy center of corned beef, the tang of the mouthwatering sauerkraut that adds great flavor and helps to prevent a dry sandwich, and most of all. The amazing taste of traditionally made Thousand Island dressing...critical to the composition of the piece, dare I say, Masterpiece? Uhh...well, no. I daren't say that word. The reality experience: Forget everything I just described above (save, dry sandwich... and substitute that for 'crossing-the-Sahara-dry-cottonmouth dry sandwich'). I wish ,if only, I could stop there. Alas, it was horrifyingly only the beginning of everything that was wrong with the experience. What can I say? Everything from toasting the over abundant slices of bread before they were assembled and fried on a grill as a whole sandwich, to the somehow missing the fact that one of the two sandwiches ordered (mine) was sans sauerkraut (I mean like zero amount of the canned cabbage was included on my sandwich), to the most egregious culinary violation of the evening, the Thousand Island dressing! Oh it had a pinkish colored condiment, all right. The best I could determine, mayo and ketchup (but not tasty like secret sauce à la McDonalds Big Mac.. a sandwich I found myself wishing I had ordered at that moment). Oh no. It was as blaise and bland and tasteless as a goopy substance could possibly be. Thousand Island? Uhh... no. Maybe the 1001st Island ? To think I even asked for more to help my aqua-challenged pallet! I sadly worked over the sans-wich with a faint glimmer of hope that I would cull at least something good from this culinary catastrophe. Reality set in. This was no Rubin. It was no sandwich at all. It was a $25 (x2) heist from my wallet. For real. I'd been heisted and nothing would undo this experience. The real kicker: My own brother, not only recommended THIS sandwich from THIS establishment a few months ago, he went so far as to say, 'the best Rubin in town.' Really? No not really. For real. Apparently Yaleys (the owner reputedly attended the posh Ivy League college) know nothing of preparing proper Irish fare. This menu item doesn't even warrant a 1 star out of 5. Zero stars for the arid anomaly. I'll keep my overall rating at 3 stars for the dining experience; keep in mind, the restaurant was a 5 star experience back in the day (of taste and hydration). The Irish have, not only suffered potato famine, but now sandwich hydration-drought. read more

As we were looking for a cute and casual place for a drink and snack to share, we saw this cool spot & popped in! Our bartender was nice and checked on us frequently. The old fashioneds were 8/10 and we agreed that the wings were roughly 7/10. They actually had good flavor even though the photo doesn't look like it and the cook on them was pretty good. Would've enjoyed more of a dry rub on the outside for extra flavor. The Caesar salad was 5/10 and mostly bland, with a lot of the lettuce being the white/end-part of a lettuce head (especially at the bottom). Overall, decent food but good drinks & atmosphere! There are TVs as well to watch the games. read more

Great food and beer, Bacchus is a solid spot. That said, if you're heading there to catch World Cup games, be warned, they won't turn the audio on for matches, which feels pretty off brand for a European ish Pub. Kind of hard to get into the atmosphere and staff is a little evasive about giving a solid answer on turning it on. Fix that and this place would be a home run. read more

Came here for a bite to eat, a cold drink, and some live music and wasn't disappointed by any of it. Had no problem getting seats at the bar and we were taken care of right away. They also had options for table seating indoors and out. Bar has a great Irish beer hall kind of vibe to it that definitely brought me back some fond memories. Cocktail to start was the Bozeman fog, basically a boozie London fog, that was quite tasty, but could have been shaken a little better. We split the hunter fries and the Mediterranean salad. The fries were basically a pouting that would even make a French Canadian blush with a delicious brown gravy, you can't go wrong. Salad was nice and fresh, and definitely a much needed lighter complement to the heavier fries. read more

Service: You seat yourself which can be a little confusing for some people. The servers are doing the best they can figuring out who comes in and who will be taking care of them. The service itself is fine as long as you don't need anything else. Food: I ordered the fish sandwich and it was bland. The breaded fish had absolutely no flavor. The only discernible flavor came from the coleslaw. I would not order this again. They did include an absolute heap of fries. My husband got a hit dog with curry and he did enjoy that. Ambiance: It's a pub. Nothing stands out about it. I would recommend this place only for drinks . They also have a nice sunny patio. read more

Having a stop over in Bozeman before heading home we were wandering around downtown. We stopped here for an earlier dinner. It was warm and sunny so we sat outside. We were served pretty quickly by a super friendly server. We ordered some sandwiches and got them fairly quickly. The turkey club was delicious. Very fresh and tasty. The sweet potato fries were very crispy. My husband kept saying his burger was delicious. It was thick and juicy. He could barely finish it! read more

I love this place. Food is great and a very good drink selection. No I'm adding words to reach the character requirements.

We were on a road trip passing through Bozeman. We were looking for casual dining in a nice atmosphere. Bacchus had great food prices compared to all the other restaurants along Main St. that we checked. Our salads ($14-17) were great and we had friendly chats with locals at the bar while watching a World Cup game. read more

Still one of our favorite little bars in Bozeman in the beautiful historic hotel. Stopped in today after doing a little shopping on Main Street. I got a hot toddy with Willie's. Bourbon,- a local one from Ennis, Montana. It was really good. My husband got a local Midas Crush IPA by MAP Brewing, which has been one of his favorites this trip. We were there for Happy Hour, 3-to 6 pm Sun-Thur. Food looked and smelled good, but didn't eat this time. Always a relaxing stop. read more

One thing about me is I love an Irish pub and this one was so cute! It was packed for lunch on the weekend. They have a decently large menu and a lot of local beers on draft. My fiancé and I split the curry fries, which were different than normal irish pub curry fries. It was a thick sauce with a spice. They were really good for something different. I feel like I made a mistake of getting the pub burger as it was just alright and the people next to us got the fish and chips which looked so good and was a large portion. My fiancé had the Shepard pie which was also great. The chips were also a little to burnt for my likening. read more

Enjoyed a late lunch here with the sweetest bartender, Riley! The wings are enormous and delish- recommend the Cajun rub. We also enjoyed the meatloaf special. read more

Always great service and amazing food! Cami, the daytime bartender is a doll, and so is everyone really!

Definitely a laid-back place. I guess you could call it very chill. Sat on the patio, which is along the sidewalk. Would recommend a few more umbrellas. Service was good. They were always asking if you needed anything else or if everything was OK. Food was average. Enter in through the hotel lobby, which is pretty cool. read more

What I great find. So much atmosphere and character. We really enjoyed it. Our server Laura was awesome too. Tried the Beef Stew which was stocked with beef, potatoes & onions in a rich sauce. Exploding with taste. The sandwich and kettle chips were excellent too. Really don't have anything negative to say. It was a great experience, great meal. Highly recommended. read more

Although Bacchus Pub is a simple pub with sports screens on every wall, the food here is great. We enjoyed their turkey club sandwich ($16) that was piled high with sliced turkey, bacon and cheese. Really tasty and a good value. The real highlight, though, are their battered fries. Ask for a 50 cent upgrade to get the curry dipping sauce. Easily the best fries in Bozeman. Friendly service. read more

Decent place to stop for lunch, but very basic menu and not as welcoming as other places in town. We didn't have a server come over for almost 10 minutes after we sat at a table, even though they all saw us (and had told us to seat ourselves). The best thing we had was the curry sauce for the fries. read more

Two words - curry.fries. Seriously, that's all you need. If I came here again, I would just get the curry fries and a drink and head out happy and full. But, when my husband came here, we got a little bit more than curry fries. We ordered drinks (he got a beer, I got a cocktail) and we also got the curry fries to split (truly delicious), and then we each got an entree (definitely did NOT need to do this). For entrees - I got the Buffalo Chicken Salad (subpar - dry chicken) and he got the Reuben (not bad but not necessary). On top of that, there weren't enough people working so unfortunately service was a bit slow. But that wasn't too big of a deal for us. With that said, like I said, come for the curry fries and a drink or 2. But I truly think that's all you need to make the most of your experience here! Cool spot overall! read more

Well, where to begin. Location in Downtown is great. Sat outside on a Sunday evening. Not a busy night. 10 m8nutes after seating retrieved our own menus. 5 minutes later server stopped by to take drink orders and we too that opportunity to order food too. 10 minutes later I went to inquire about the beers. They had been poured and were sitting at the end of the bar while our server futzed around behind the bar for 5 munutes. My Son ordered their fries with with mushroom gravy and mozzarella sprinkles over the top. They must have run out of gravy. The bowl they came in would be a regular order of fries anywhere else. $15! I ordered the $25 fish and chips. And an extra side of tartar. Wife ordered the beef stew. Son asked for a side of Mayo with his Shepards Pie. Food came after the aforementioned comments about the appetizer. The beef stew had a flavor much resembling a tomato based vegetable soup. NOT like any stew I have EVER tasted. It wasn't a bad flavor, just not a stew flavor. My fish, was a very large portion of haddock, obviously battered freshly, but then waay overfried. It was served on top of fries that while cooked properly were as bland as they get. Oh and that extra tartar, has to be asked for again as did the mayo. Server didn't take the opportunity to get through order right promptly. Went behind the bar again fuddle around for couple of minutes, before eventually returning with the tartar....but no mayo AGAIN! The Shepard pie was so meh, my son, 31, not a kid, resorted to adding Cholula to it to give it something. His comment was it was seriously lacking in any seasoning. Had 5 beers and the food mentioned. $108. Not even close value, flavor, or service wise. Some training is in order for our server. Not sure that this place would survive someplace other than Bozeman. If this is usual fare. Maybe it was just a bad night. Bummer huh? At least the beer was Good, and Cold. $7/pint, great selection quite reasonably priced. read more

Food is incredible. Nice casual Pub atmosphere. Service was prompt and very attentive. A definite return when when returning to Bozeman.

A beautiful old style bar located within the Baxter Historic Hotel on upper West Main St in Bozeman Montana. We decided to stop in to Whet the Whistle, so to speak. I'm so glad we did. It's beautiful in here with a cool vibe and vibrant atmosphere. The place is packed, with people who were watching sports on the many TV screens located above the bar. It seems like a mix of locals and tourists with some people just having drinks at the bar and more here for lunch. Service is a tad slow but apparently today they only have two servers. Ours was great, friendly and efficient. If you are in Bozeman, definitely pop in for some casual dining/drinks and soak up the history and fun atmosphere. read more
