Recensioni
Really nice bar with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. There are tables both indoors and outdoors, and the upper floor is also very nice and cozy with couches if you want somewhere more comfortable to relax. The location is great, just by the bridge in front of a church and close to many of the main attractions. The prices are very reasonable too. We spent €22 for two people, which I think is a really good price for this area. They also serve free unlimited water, which is very kind and really appreciated! There are some alcohol-free cocktails available too, which is a nice option if you don’t drink alcohol. One thing to be prepared for if you come at night: there are lots of mosquitoes, especially if you sit outside, so bring some mosquito repellent. Overall, a nice and relaxing place to stop for a drink!
Drinks were definitely different which was nice but you can also order typical drinks too. We orders four, sat upstairs which had a nice vibe and music. We also got a bowl of nuts and zucchini water which was complimentary. We really enjoyed it.
Love the vibe. Perfect for people watching. Bar tending was superb. Lovely sitting at the bar and ordering off the menu where the bartender was more than happy to oblige. Upstairs is perfect for a date or a quiet chat while many are sitting outside facing the water. Drinks are well crafted and made with good spirits. Service was very accommodating. One of the best bars in Venice.
Absolutely fantastic bar that we needed to come back to on our last night. The team are putting out really unique cocktails that have been thought out and WORK together! The venue is stunning, the staff are fantastic, the drinks are delicious and good quality, the atmosphere is delightful, AND you can even hear yourself talk without needing to yell over loud music and others yelling. While not cheap (cocktails are about €15), this bar isn't even comparable to the other bars where you'll pay that and get a shit blended espresso Martini. An absolutely incredibe experience that everyone who's even vaguely interested in cocktails needs to try!
Extremely unique atmosphere for a cocktail bar. It really evokes the grand feeling you have when you are in Venice. Cocktails were great but not mind blowing. This is compensated by good service and comfortable seating.
