I had heard of this pub based on the recommendations of locals in Mestre. It's a neighborhood…read morejoint, I hesitate to use the word dive, but it's essentially what a real local bar should be. If you are visiting Venice and the northeast Mestre area, I would recommend it based solely on the authenticity factor, something missing from many of the taverns in Venice proper. The pub has a American theme throughout while respecting traditional Italian bar culture. Photos of the Blues Brothers, various bands, and sports (NHL) abound while classic American and British rock blast over the stereo. The barkeep is Claudio, who makes sure to take care of all of his patrons. The night started with the three of us drinking spritz, made of prosecco and campari. From there we graduated to a variety of wines and eventually beer. Throughout our Saturday evening, the staff tended to us with snacks and cichetti, all gratis. The wines are top of their class and all extremely affordable. The craft beer selection on tap is small (6ish), but superb, in fact the witbier was one of the best I've tasted, anywhere. Based on the service alone I can highly recommend Le Due Ochette. Make a good impression on Claudio and he might send you home with a bottle of wine. Add in the selection and neighborhood atmosphere, and the decision to spend your evening here is a no-brainer.

This was probably one of my favorite places to grab a drink based on the quality of the cocktail in…read moreVenice. Near the Rialto Bridge, you'll find a good mix of locals and tourists and an extensive cocktail menu. There's just one guy who runs the joint, but he make a helluva cocktail. I ordered a Mint Julep and he definitely made one of the better mint juleps I've had. It's definitely a sight to watch him at work as he'll put in a solid amount of time and effort into each cocktail. Plenty of people here ordered wine as well. Everything was about 9-10 euro per glass. There is also a selection of cichetta here that looked pretty good. One other perk is that you can drink outside the bar.

I also saw, but looks like other companies doing the same thing. The show is short, the ticket is affordable. The worst part of the show is how squeaky the chairs are. But it's absolutely incredible to sit and listen to this timeless music in a timeless place. I lost myself in the music while looking at these statues. I felt like I went back in time and it was wonderful. My only complaint, other than the squeaky chairs is that the entire group is made up of men. Can we dismantle the patriarchy already? There were some really cute musicians. They were so passionate and it was beautiful to watch the symmetry of their bows dancing in unison. There was a cute little mini, Italian, Chris Hemsworth, on the cello. I was like hey!!! I loved this!! a general tip for traveling, and Eli is bringing a hand fan.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Definitely get the Lombatello steak if you are feeling carnivorous…read more Throngs of lively people sipping wine and snacking on cichetti late into the evening along the canal. The cichetti selection looked very good (variety thinned out throughout the night), but our party of 3 was starving and we opted to sit inside for a late ~8:30pm dinner. We got one order of grilled lamb and the Lombatello steak for 2. The lamb was also good, no gamey taste. The Lombatello steak was simply fantastic, choose this cut specifically!! A heaping pile of medium-rare meat (cannot buy single portions) that was very tender and flavorful. It's cushioned with steak fries and grilled veggies on the side. Paired with two glasses of house wine, this meal was fantastic. Ended up with a to go box of steak and fries. Servers are very busy, bustling around clearing tables, taking orders, etc, but they are vigilant if you need anything. We saw one table of ~10 order a steak platter, and it was a sight to behold - a massive wooden cutting board packed with steak, transported by two waiters.
