An enthusiastic multilingual welcome is extended to all visitors in this lively wine bar that never seems to close. It boasts almost non-stop service, an extended “happy hour” from 4–7pm and a delicious assortment of Spanish-style tapas snack meals to accompany the wine.

Ancient bacaro [ opened in 1462 ] close to the Rialto bridge . Dark little bar , atmospheric with it's wooden beams and copper pots hanging from them . Serves an amazing assortment of mouthwatering cichetti . One Euro per nibble !....washed down with a similarly impressive assortment of wines . Very popular both with locals , workers from the market and tourists , this bar and " Al Timon " in Cannaregio are , for me , the top two bars in Venice . Highly recommended for it' s wine , cichetti and friendly staff . Attempts to speak Italian , as elsewhere in Venice , are appreciated , and , I have found , tend to ensure a better and friendlier service .

However late in the evening, you can turn up here and count on live music, a good glass of wine and a crusty crostino topped with anchovies or cheese. On summer evenings locals row up to the waterside entrance.

A magnificent start to an exciting evening – a special ACTV launch from Piazzale Roma transports hopeful clients down the Grand Canal to the landing stage of the beautiful Renaissance palace, alias City Casino, for a glittering night at the tables or the slot machines. It is also a short walk from the San Marcuola ferry stop.

A thoughtful use of candles and soft music helps to create a pleasant and welcoming ambience to this lounge bar and restaurant. They serve imaginative and sometimes somewhat innovative Mediterranean cuisine each evening until 2am.

One of the many lively music bars that can be found in Campo S Margherita. Chet Bar is a popular joint and is, as the name clearly indicates, dedicated to that great trumpet player Chet Baker.

Tiny little wine bar on the Fondamenta dei Ormesini near to the Ghetto . Serves a good selection of wines , by the glass or bottle , as well as a good selection of tasty cichetti . Is a bit off the beaten track and so there are very few tourists present , mainly local venetians . The service is friendly - all the more so if you try and speak a little Italian . The name "Timon " means rudder , and there is one hanging on the wall . I really enjoyed spending time at Al Timon and will definitely return on my next visit . Well worth seeking it out . It is also very close to the Ristorante Anice Stellato , just over the bridge on Fondamenta della Sensa , another venetian delight , again not much visited by tourists .

Marvellous, lively atmosphere and great Guinness, naturally. You can always count on action here – a concert of Irish music in the cosy square, a maxi screen for football games, while at Carnival and, of course, St Patrick’s Day, this is the place to be.
-
You can't go to Venice without sampling a Harry's Bar Belini - perfect after a hard days walking/exploring and of course shopping!
-
An eclectic programme of events here never ceases to entertain, from poetry readings to art exhibitions and wine and food events. An added bonus is good wine and a fascinating menu of dishes based on traditional 15th-century recipes.
