Why it's worth checking out

Bacchus is a refined restaurant and events venue in South Bank, Brisbane, with a focus on private dining, celebrations and leisurely hotel dining. The venue caters for a broad range of occasions, from corporate functions and networking events to intimate weddings, milestone birthdays, private dinners and cocktail gatherings. Its event team offers tailored packages, bespoke menus and flexible use of the venue, including full-restaurant hire for exclusive occasions.

The spaces are designed for different kinds of gatherings. The Private Dining Room has a lavish interior and can accommodate up to 20 guests, while the Bacchus Bar is a semi-private gold, burgundy and marble lounge suited to cocktail and canapé events for up to 50 people. For larger groups, the restaurant can host up to 80 guests, with seasonal menus and curated wine selections customised for the occasion. Onsite hotel accommodation adds convenience for events that continue into the evening or for visitors staying in South Bank.

For a more relaxed visit, Bacchus serves a daily buffet breakfast in its polished dining room. The offering includes hot and cold buffet sections, barista-made coffee, seasonal produce, pastries, breads, cereals, smoothies and juices. It is presented as an option for hotel guests, locals and professionals, making it suitable for a quiet morning, a business catch-up or a substantial start to the day. The venue also accommodates dietary needs, with gluten-free options listed and a request for guests to advise staff about allergies or intolerances.

Saturday High Tea is Bacchus’s other signature experience, pairing handcrafted savouries, sweets, premium teas and sparkling wine in an elegant setting. It is a natural choice for birthdays, bridal showers, baby celebrations or an indulgent weekend gathering, although bookings are required. For wine enthusiasts, the venue also hosts tasting events, including a Seppeltsfield-focused experience with Barossa and Clare Valley wines, cheese and antipasto. With its polished atmosphere, varied spaces and broad event offering, Bacchus suits celebrations and groups especially well, while breakfast and High Tea provide more accessible reasons to visit.
