Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The vibes are unparalleled anywhere else on the planet

We went for the free Wednesday wine tasting (from 4-6pm) and happy hour ($6 glasses) but ended up staying for a fantastic live jazz trio and some delicious food. Excellent experience!

Aggressively satisfactory. Vibe, idea, and live jazz are phenomenal. But the food options, prices are very upsetting. Their signature offering is a cheese plate, but their bread is very subpar. They also dont give you enough bread on your order and then make you pay $4.50 for six, 3in diameter slices of bread… crazy price. Then they day its bc they buy from an expensive bakery. Someones gotta fix there ops asap.

Great spot in New Orleans! Hidden gem with fantastic back garden patio featuring live jazz music. Must see!

Love this place! Great atmosphere, the bacon wrapped dates were delicious. We went during haply hour and had a blast. You can also build your own cheese plate and pick out a bottle of wine to share.

We had a phenomenal experience at Bacchanal!! The staff was SO friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our evening - the food, wine, music, patio (with fans!) and ambience. Highly recommend this spot!

Visited this super cool place on a hot summer day. The live music was amazing. Friendly bartenders and staff in a very casual backyard environment. Great cocktails. A very refreshing deviation from the more touristy parts of NOLA we had visited.

This had such a fun vibe! Loved being able to choose our meats and cheese. The charcuterie board the staff made was gorgeous and it had a nice selection of add ons. It was cool filling your bucket with ice for wine. The live music was awesome outside.

Decent food but with a limited menu and nonexistent service. Can't see a reason to come here over anywhere else in the area.

Always love bacchanal for both the drinks food and ambiance. Been coming here for a long, long time

A great little place in a NOLA neighborhood. Nice bartenders. Good music.

Always loved you guys but OMMFG your patrons are so disrespectful to those of us living in the area. They trash our yards (dude. Our bins are RIGHT THERE. Use them. Or im gonna cosplay like Poison Ivy and whoop yalls btch azzes till you cower in shame and get back together with with that tossed garbage you so deserve). They surround our homes, parking illegally and blocking driveways so we have to park blocks away with our groceries (and some of us.. Me.. are painfully, LITERALLY crippled). They keep us up at night stumbling back to their cars- parked just feet from our beds, screeching about honestly the dumbest sh1t I've heard since bartending on bourbon back when i still had some patience reserves.. One customer, vanity plate "FUNCLE1" (i h4t3 you) even ran over my trashcan Saturday evening, crushing it so badly I have to order a new one. I've lived everywhere, including the heart of the quarter and above downtown tats on FRENCHMAN and even THAT was more peaceful than weekends by Bacchanal. Yall- we can hear every last word you say as yall stumble to your cars. Maybe if the discourse weren't so idiotic I'd be a bit less irritated. Please do not misinterpret- the music and venue itself are lovely and much appreciated. It's the employee/drunk idiot takeover of our living spaces i am over. Edit: crescent park closes at 8, maybe make a deal w the city to rent their lot. Just a thought. Prob too far for UNCRIPPLED jackazzes to walk WITHOUT groceries, though. Insert eye -roll.

Great service Great vibes and good music 🎶

We stopped at Bacchanal to enjoy some live music and wine. The layout of this wine bar is very unique. There is a wine store and custom charcuterie downstairs with wine by the glass, cocktails, and indoor seating upstairs. We had a few of their wines by the glass as well as their charcuterie. I thought it was incredibly well priced and we loved their selection and the preparation. Being able to pick our cheeses was such a plus. Highly recommend it for a great place to chat with company!

This is a great place to get your wine or beer fun on when it is nice outside as there is only outside seating. They have some great cheese plates and the outdoor chef's are usually making some good food with some good music playing. The good news & the bad news is the outdoor seating as it gets really hot and rains a lot in NOLA so there are definitely better times of the year to experience this place than others. Another growing problem is the popularity of this place is making it harder and harder to actually find a seat so you need to get there mighty early to secure a spot and finding parking is never an easy task. The only other thing to watch out for is there are sometimes some people with really stinky BO in there that need a good hosing off (I'm not sure when it became fashionable to avoid bathing) so that could be the benefit of going after it rains as maybe those folks will smell better. Another benefit or problem depending on your point of view is that folks will often bring their children with them to hang out on the patio. I don't have any problem with kids and find them nicer than most snotty adults that don't like them so I think it just adds to the entertainment and flavor of the place to have entire families enjoying themselves and to have a place I can go with my friends that have kids that want to go somewhere like this. I wish we had a place like this closer to Uptown so I didn't have to go so far to enjoy it.

I love this spot. A true find. Nothing in the world quite like it. Brilliant wine choices. A must see.

Best place I visited in NOLA. A "can't miss" stop for delicious food, cocktails/wine, and fabulous music/atmosphere.

Great chill vibe live music...had a great experience with make your own charcuterie paired with hand picked wines

Great wine selection. Perfect atmosphere.

Great concept, good food and great live music

Probably fine as just a wine and cheese shop, but terribly overrated as a restaurant. We visited because it came so highly recommended on a lot of tour sites but it's not at all your standard restaurant experience. We didn't like the self-service concept, where you have to get everything from glasses to silverware and napkins yourself from a shelf - it felt like being at summer camp. The menu also is definitely more for tapas than an actual sit-down meal, and the shrimp crostini tasted off. The cheese was good though! But it definitely feels more like someone's backyard than a restaurant, so manage your expectations accordingly.

EXTREMELY nice staff and beautiful cheese board

Laid back, DIY wine bar with bold personality and delightful bites. Live music in the backyard with a wine selection curated by the gods. What's better?

Enjoyed this place but made 2 mistakes, 1. Got happy hour drinks, not worth it as they were pretty chintzie and realized after the way to go would have been to get a bottle. 2. Good food but a distressing number of flies as we were on the patio. Eeew. I've eaten on many patios without my plate looking like a forensic crime scene so wondering if there is some way to solve that issue. Otherwise, lovely spot and would happily return

We really enjoyed the place, the food and the wines we had. The place, the garden is very nice, although there are many flies. The music is live, it's very good The wine options are magnificent both by the glass and by the bottle. The service is very good. The food we ordered was very good.

Patatas bravas and mushrooms were incredible, well worth the $$. The pasta fell a little short but was decent. Got a good deal through inkind!

The atmosphere of a back yard with a live band was great

Phenomenal staff, excellent food, great times. Stopped at this bar while traveling for business. Went up to the bar on the second floor, ordered food and drinks and was not disappointed. The staff are great at making and recommending drinks with the food. The garden is a great place to listen to love music and have wine or cocktails. The amazing food rounds off the experience. Can't suggest enough!

I went in 2017 and I'm still pissed about my experience. Have fun fighting in actual dirt to find a table, a table that has no chairs. Stand in line to get water from a communal source. Spend $11 dollars on white bread and a pad of butter with a radish delicately placed. I've never asked for my money back and left a restaurant until this experience.

We spent a great couple of hours - upstairs. Nice atmosphere.

Bacchanal was recommended by our Lyft driver. We went the last night of Jazz Fest. Our driver was right it was fabulous. The place doesn't look like much when you pull up to the front, but what a surprise when you walk in. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is the perfect New Orleans style place with an amazing vibe. We ate upstairs after picking out a bottle of wine. We had the Gambas(Shrimp), the Patatas Fritas and the Pork Chop. All were wonderful, especially the Pork Chop. It was cooked/grilled to perfection. Maybe the best Pork Chop we have ever had at a restaurant. We were able to hear the band that was playing in the courtyard but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't carry on a conversation. And the prices are very reasonable. We will be back next time we are in New Orleans.

Great spot for buying wine and cheese but the real gem is the patio... they have ample seating, live music, shade and fans, and a great place to hang out with a small or larger group. Very casual and the staff are super friendly.

I LOVE me a good charcuterie board! My fiance and I celebrated my birthday here! The food was delicious and the atmosphere/music was a lot of fun! My fiancés sister suggested it since she lived in New Orleans for many years. I would definitely go back and I can't wait to. Great place for friends or family. Definitely a new favorite spot. It's really a hidden gem! Definitely don't forget ID.

So fun! Live local music, fresh charcuterie boards to your taste, and your own wine selection. Awesome.

Such a pleasant patio with live music and I love the options/concept of either ordering appetizers to your table (what we did) or building your own cheese board.

It was a haven of bohemian New Orleans. With Bougee charcuterie and really well crafted drinks. The bartender was actually putting in work to concoct the cocktails. The bar gets 5 stars.

Favorite spot in the city. Always a treat.

Great food and drinks. Nice and friendly atmosphere. Great live music.

Fantastic little wine bar and bottle shop in NOLA's Bywater neighborhood.

Always a good time at Bacchanal! The cheese was delicious and our bartender, Ken, was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Very cute atmosphere with good music, but the menu left something to be desired. The shrimp did not seem fresh and the pasta was overpriced and lacked flavor

Wine garden near the 9th ward it was in an area that seemed a little rough place was nice it’s like being in someone’s back yard cheese platter was very good and they have a great happy hour I suggest you take an Uber

Fantastic place to while away the afternoon. Bottle shop lets you drink purchased product in the courtyard. Live music makes the atmosphere very pleasant. Worth splitting a bottle of wine and enjoying for an hour or two.

Wish I went with the recommended bottle of wine 🍷 but it was great

It was hard to find a seat and it was a little pricey, but all in all we had such a great time and we will be back!

In desperate need of a low-key quiet atmosphere in New Orleans, this place hit the spot. Quaint, quiet, some chill live music and some decent wine which is a major challenge in NOLO. Not a huge fan of the self-service wine and cheese board but it worked! Nice outdoor patio.

The vibes here are immaculate. Feels like a back yard party in the best way. Excellent wine selection, and love the build your own charcuterie option. The person who helped us had some very helpful pointers and recommendations for us based on what we were looking for. Our original plan was to stay across town in the Garden District and we wound up changing at the last minute to staying in Bywater. So glad we did because that is what led us to Bacchanal!

We love spending a warm afternoon at Bacchanal any time we are in town. They have a fantastic selection of wines, bubbly, cheeses, and other snacks. The employees are very helpful in making selections and the backyard has such a wonderful vibe!

Such a cool concept and fun place! Create your own charcuterie board, pair it with your favorite drink of choice, chill out and listen to live music.

Great spot for wine, dinner, and music.

I used to love this place. Was disappointed as the buzz I remember from a few years back is dead. Live music ended at 9:30p on a weekend, cashiers seemed annoyed and too busy to answer questions. Food options limited but plating is generous with bread and an addictive chutney. Hoping we just hit a dud night, but not planning to make the trek back anytime soon.

So lovely! Worth the Uber out of the quarter!

What can I say - this is the best place my partner and I spent time while in NOLA. There’s so much we didn’t see in our short first trip to the Crescent City but when we come back, we’ll spend lots of time here. ✅perfect food, good for vegetarians ✅friendly, approachable staff ✅amazing music in an outdoor space ✅southern hospitality, overflowing Do yourself a favor: order the baked feta and ask for a Mezcal Refresher.

What a cool unique place for a snack and a drink. The outfit stage has live music almost every day--or it has on all the days I've been there. It's a great place to chill

Peak vibes. Feels as cool as it is. The cocktail menu is better than it deserves to be in a wine shop, definitely try the rotating punch.

Great vibes. Loved the build your own cheese board.

I came for the cheese platter and some wine. That wasn’t an option so I thought maybe bread would be a good substitute. I’m not paying $11 for bread and butter. It was loud and overwhelming and why are you using QR codes? It’s sad because I paid a $30 Uber because my friend hyped this place up and it WAS NOT worth it.

Best place ever, and always a stop when I'm in nola!! Best atmosphere and concept.

This place has one cool vibe !!

Such a cool idea- “make your own charcuterie” and backyard live jazz. Go early (before 7) to make sure you get a table. Definitely worth the trip from the tourist areas.

Enjoyed happy hour in the tree house! Selection was good and food options are always good.

Probably best experience with the bartender Evan! Very knowledgeable and pleasant! He is a reason to return or visit for your first time!!

Definitely a different experience. You can buy a bottle of wine and snacks and take out to the courtyard or upstairs to enjoy. When you purchase cheese, they prepare some lovely accoutrements to go with them. A lovely, delicious, and unexpected lagniappe! Upstairs is a bar where you can order beer and cocktails but wine is the star here. There was live music and the tables were all taken - but given the chill vibe, we just sat down and made new friends! And try the Rose from the keg - it will surprise you!

I visit every time I’m in New Orleans! Great atmosphere and lovely staff. The music is diverse but always a good vibe

Great place for an afternoon of music, wine, and charcuterie. You pick your meats and cheeses, they assemble an amazing plate of breads, olives, cornichones, tapenade, jam, etc. Have to hit this place up on every visit to N.O.

Highly recommend for an afternoon. Great location, garden and music

Good wine, amazing cheese plate, beautiful people. What a place to be 😍

Highlight of our trip to New Orleans -- The food, service, and ambience were all great. They have an extensive wine list, great cheese selection for make-your-own cheese boards, and a menu of tasty bites. (We had the patas bravas and bread with black garlic butter -- our only complaint was needing more bread for all that rich butter. Would highly recommend both dishes.). The bartenders happily improvised a delicious mocktail for the non-drinking member of our group. The patio was full by the time we arrived, but we were happy to discover that we could hear the band even from the back room. Look forward to the next opportunity to visit.

Went with some co-workers. They had a live band playing in the evening and it was a rainy night but the courtyard was covered with a tent and there was also indoor seating available. They have a wine shop at the entrance so you can buy a bottle and then just enjoy it in their courtyard.

Truly THE PLACE to be in New Orleans. This hidden gem is everything a ritzy-casual night on the town is supposed to be. Great food, great atmosphere, and great music. Seating in several places— inside, outside, patio, top balcony. You definitely drive through some sketch to get there, but 100% worth it.

Great selection of wines, cheeses, seafood snacks. A perfect location to spend a lazy afternoon listening to top notch jazz musicians.

One of the best patios you'll find in New Orleans. Beyond the cool concept of pulling a bottle of wine or bubbles from the shop to enjoy in the patio, upstairs is a full service bar with an outstanding collection of fun uncommon pours.

Magical place to go. Lights. Food. Music. Fresh air. Excellent wine choices. Perfect date night.

Perfect afternoon hangout with wine and cheese!

Great selections, whether it be wine or spirits. Some of us sampled a variety of wines while a couple of us enjoyed some Last Words. Delicious charcuterie board. The dude downstairs seemed snobby and pretentious while the woman at the upstairs bar was delightful.

Place is fiya!!! Catch a lyft parking is limited 😅

The food was delish and came out so fast! The Malbec was also quite good. There was a musician playing who set the vibe nicely. An afternoon well spent in NOLA!

it may be overpriced, but the ambience on busy nights is the vibe for a trendy Nola night out 🍷🧀

Live jazz adds to the amazing wine and cheese selection here. Recommended for an experience with friends.

Absolutely one place that you must check out!

Stopped by for drinks with friends and was presently surprised. When you first walk in it appeared to be a small wine shop but when you go to the upstairs section there is a bar. It was very lowkey but a vibe. I would definitely recommend going for a glass of wine or well mixed drinks.

Very cool spot. Several bars/restaurants/venues/shops in one. Worth the visit.

This place was super cool. Loved the live music.

Super! Tout se joue dans l'instant, les groupes en live dans le fond de l’arrière cour, véritable club à ciel ouvert, belle ambiance, accueil friendly, sans ambages mais avec une variété de vins/fromages/saucissons de connaisseurs, ce qui rend l'endroit hors de l'ordinaire. Le concept d'auto-selection est très agréable et original, sur les conseils toujours avisés au besoin! Bref, les yeux fermés :)

I loved my visit to Bacchanal! I loved perusing the incredible wine selection and the cheese selection! For $28, I got a custom made cheese plate that was so large that I ate it for lunch and dinner! The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The backyard vibe was relaxed and felt like a home away from home. The upstairs restaurant is so cozy and warm that I wished I had brought a board game to play all afternoon. This is hands-down my favorite spot in New Orleans.

I love it, perfect for a date night

I like the atmosphere more than the food. Nice music too

Josephine was great and the BYO Charcuterie board is the best!!

Food, service, and selection was great! Great quality ingredients and very motivated staff to exceed expectations. Live music, beautiful patio, and cozy atmosphere!

Really great music venue with a good selection of wine and beer. Limited food menu.

I LOVE this place! I’d been wanting to visit for a while and I wasn’t disappointed. The wine, the cocktails, the food and the service was all on point. I love the option of choosing the cheese for your own cheese platter. Our bartender was awesome enough to create a different drink for me since I didn’t really wanna try from their regular menu.

Great place to have a group of people and be able to talk to each other. Bartenders are AWESOME..

Fun treehouse bar with a wine store full of "no-name" labels. Neighborhood feel with lots of regulars. Stop by Lucullus nearby for culinary and French Antiques - owner is a famous expert!

We always enjoy going to Bacchanal for excellent jazz, service, wine, and food when we travel to New Orleans.

Fantastic atmosphere, very knowledgeable bartenders, and great local live music! Stop by to get a drink with a friend before a parade. Wonderful selection to choose from, and then bartender was very helpful. Can't wait to go back again!

What a cool, warm, welcoming, knowledgeable place! Came here on the last full day of vacation and enjoyed it tremendously. Evan at the upstairs bar was GREAT and helped us navigate ordering a cheese tray and was friendly and talkative without taking over our conversation. All the cheeses were excellent! So were the accompanying olives, pickled veggies, and chutneys. The happy hour wines are limited, but at $5/glass they are cheaper than splitting many of the bottles downstairs. The staff and the atmosphere and the food were all excellent.

I had great time with my family and enjoyed the music, food, and ambiance.

This place is awesome. Good wine and drink selection. Really nice outdoor seating area (just prepare for the bugs to come out - they do supply bug spray). Didnt stay long enough to see the music but i bet that really adds to the vibe. My favorite part was the choose your own cheese board where you select your cheese from the fridge and they plate your selections. They do not skimp on the bread!

This is probably my new favorite spot in town. Such an amazing atmosphere, the staff is beyond friendly. Cheeses were delicious, drinks were great, and overall was a perfect experience. I went on a Monday in the afternoon and there was a good amount of people. Definitely going back whenever they have live music, which seems to be daily during the evening. Fully recommended, doesn’t matter if you are a local or a tourist, this place is a must.

A must visit. Fun and delicious 😋
