Ai Do Draghi |
This tiny but historic bacaro (old-style bar) is an
obligatory stop for an ombra or spritz . The place
consists of three distinct spaces. First is the tiny
cubicle of a bar itself, all aged timber and a perfect
retreat in winter if you can get in. Out the back
there's some more seating for the colder months, while
the tables set out on the campo (square) are ideal in
summer.

Ai Postali |
This is a buzzy locals' bar along the Rio Marin. In
years gone by this spot served as an early opener for
dawn posties but nowadays is an enticing spot where jazz
hums in the background. On warmer nights a seat by the
canal is ideal for a spritz or two and on Fridays and
Saturdays there's a good chance you'll find it open
still at 03:00

Al Bottegon (Cantina Di Vini Giŕ Schiavi) |
Wander into this fusty wine bar across from the Chiesa
di San Trovaso for a prosecco beneath the bar's low
rafters and in the light provided by dodgy bulbs.
Alternatively, buy a bottle of whatever takes your fancy
and take it away. The place has been known to stay open
longer than the advertised times, and the panini
(sandwiches) are great if your tummy's rumbling.

Al Prosecco |
Pop into this pleasant little watering hole to taste a
few wines from around the world, accompanied by a few
bar snacks, in particular an aromatic selection of
cheeses.

Antica Osteria Ruga Rialto |
Although cicheti and light meals are served here, we
have included this osteria as a drinking establishment.
Revellers often spill out into the street and on some
evenings it stages live music.

Aurora |
|
Piazza San Marco's funkiest bar, cunningly disguised as
a typically historic café by day, is a slice of a bigger
town right at the heartbeat of conventional Venice. A
chilled lounge hosts local DJs who inject sparkle into
the evening, nicely oiled with some of the best
cocktails in town and comfy lounges. |
