Venice - Bars experience 🍹

Venice is the most beautiful city in the world and its beauty is also in the bars (bacari) you see everywhere. Those are the most authentic encounter you can have with locals. You can usually order something to drink (spritz or wine) with some appetizers (called cicchetti) I am going to list you my favourites.

Disclaimer!

Bacari are informal, not every bar listed has enough space to sit and chill. Keep in mind that Venice is a walkable city, so most of the time you can find squares where to sit, or if you don't mind, you can just sit by the river.

Bacareto da Lele

@chiaraghigliotti

This is one of the most famous in Venice since it's close to the station. It's really crowed during weekends, so expect a queue. Very very good, the cicchetti are amazing, Cons: closed on Sundays

The Caffe Rosso

@chiaraghigliotti

THE BEST SPRITZ EVER. Located in a the famous square close to university, you can find the nightlife of Venice here. The spritz are the best ever tried in my life probably. I don't remember if there are cicchetti but it's totally worth a visit just for the drinks. You can sit at the tables outside or in the middle of the square. Either way, enjoy!

El Refolo

@chiaraghigliotti

This is the best bacaro if you want to eat something tasty! The location is strategic, on that side of the city there's the Biennale but not much more. It is a less crowded area so it's full of locals. This bacaro is one of my favourites because it has the best cicchetti in the whole city. They constantly change the types of cicchetti based on what they have in the storage, for that the food is always fresh and tasty! PRO: It's open on Sundays!
