This is a great bar to hangout in if you love music from the 80's & 90's like we do (and the full house of people that consistently pack this place. IT'S NOT A JAZZ CLUB (Although we do enjoy Jazz. Harry's Bar has the history & high prices, but if Hemingway were alive today, this is where I'd expect him to hang out. Definitely a Uk/USA/Germany et. als. hangout with great cocktails and an international staff that's just the right mix of surly but attentive. And the food which includes a full pizza & pasta array is pretty good. We especially like the mussels and fries. Unlike most Venetian Bars this one stays open to 2am so it's great for a nitecap. Did I mention that my wife & I have been coming to Venice for 50 years and this is now our favorite stop. Tell them Jim from New Jersey sent you snd you'll get no discount off your tab. read more

Bacaro Jazz is like its own world! The drinks were good and potent , the servers were friendly, and the music videos were so epic! So glad we came here and now I won't be able to ever come back to Venice without grabbing a drink at this bar. read more

I LOVE that this place is still around! I used to go here when I worked on cruise ships 15 years ago! They have amazing sangria, which you can buy a whole pitcher of, which I used to but since I'm older now I just had 2 this time! They also serve food. I've never had their food, but if it's just as good as the drinks than you are in good hands! The service is always incredible. And the ambience is really cool because they have bras hanging up on the ceiling. I donated mine like 15 years ago but I couldn't find mine. What did they do with it? Hmmmmm. Anyway, I loved to go back here 15 years later. And this is a stop. I will always make when in Venice... read more

When you tilt your glass upwards, to imbibe the last gulp of your beverage, you might get distracted by the bra-bedazzled ceiling at Bacaro Jazz, but don't lose your focus and have your time go wits-up in the most interesting and fun cantina on an island jam packed with carbon-copy, Aperol spritz serving saloons. During my time there, Bacaro Jazz played nostalgic 90s hits and the bartender poured me a Mickey Finn of Sambuca that made me wonder why the Goo Goo Dolls, pumping out of the overhead speaker, really did just want you to know who I am read more

Bacaro Jazz is set up like an American bar. The multi-lingual staff is welcoming, and the drinks are excellent. It is the perfect spot for a group to sit at a table or for a singular person or couple to sit at the bar. read more

Cocktails and Bras! Ah, good times! Yep, good times. Venice, Italy was the City of Masks long before Coronavirus ... thanks to the Carnevale di Venezia and other illicit or romantic mask-wearing traditions for partying like its 1399. Masks are always fun, but aren't required at Bacaro Jazz ... and neither are bras. That's right! One fun tradition at this bar-slash-restaurant are the over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders danging from the ceiling and around the bar. If the mood strikes (after a couple cocktails) feel free to donate your own knocker locker or balloon cocoon ... and create a memory that'll last longer than the hangover ... even if you can't actually remember it the next morning. Bacaro Jazz isn't a high falutin' fancy Venetian bar. It's a fun bar to drink like an American in the City of Masks ... whether you wear one ... or a bra ... or not. Cin Cin! read more

Fun place with a nice vibe and jazz covers off Apple. We split the chicetti plate and it was good. A couple beers and we were pretty happy.

During our 2016 trip to Europe, our last Italian city before heading to Paris was Venezia (Venice). On our first afternoon in Venice we were walking through this unique city and were looking for an afternoon cocktail before we decided where we wanted to get dinner. We stumbled across Bacaro Jazz and saw that it was a bar restaurant. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the host. We let them know we were interested in a drink and they sat us at a table for two. When our server came around, we told them that we wanted something local and they recommended the Bellini as it was invented in Venice. We went with the Bellini and it was fun drinking something different, especially something that originated from the city. If you find yourself in Venezia, come check out Bacaro Jazz and check out their eclectic restaurant decor. Have a drink, grab dinner or do both. Who cares you are on Vacation!! Fun fact: The Bellini was invented in 1948 and is a cocktail mixture of Prosecco, sparkling wine, and peach purée or nectar. read more

Vencie is the only city I have ever felt completely safe being lost in. It was a late night of bar hopping and drinking and then we came across Bacaro. I am not sure what makes this place so special. We didn't eat a meal here but instead chose a little snack while drinking. We sat at the bar and ordered the Bruschetta Toscana which was simple yet tasty. We ordered our very first Venetian Aperol Spritz here! A Venetian classic it was absolutely delicious and we were hooked. A few of these guys will do the trick! Which probably explains the hundreds of bra straps that fill the ceiling lol I wouldn't go out of the way to come here but if you are in the area maybe stop by for a drink and enjoy the scenery. read more

Bacaro Jazz is a pretty popping place that definitely attracts tourists. Between the plethora of hanging bras, posters of jazz artists, and a windowed liquor case that housed a bottle of Captain Morgan and Kraken, Bacaro is a eccentric spot. But because of it all, people here tend to all be pretty friendly and it's easy to talk to people at the bar. The drinks here aren't the best (we had an old fashioned and negroni), but you can't go wrong for straight liquor. All drinks are around 10 euros. Servers can speak English. They take card, but soft minimum of 20 euro. read more

The workers at Bacaro Jazz provided the best service we have received not only in Italy but in Europe as a whole. They gave us food and drink recommendations and insured we were satisfied with our meal. The drinks we got were amazing. (Italian Margherita & Strawberry Mojito)The jazz music was great! Fun place to hang out, get drinks and a bite if you're hungry. read more

THE BEST!! My family and I stayed a week in Venice and this was the spot we kept coming back to. Music videos playing on the tvs, bras on the ceiling, lots of varieties of drinks. Friendly people, good food, nice staff, what more could you ask for? My little brothers turned 18 and this was their first bar they got to go to, it was a blast!! We ate copious amounts of french fries and had the best night ever. They were so nice and attentive....the patrons were nice, and it was just an all around great experience each of the 4 times we went. Also, they were open later than most other bars. read more

I'll start by saying if you're in Venice GO HERE. I don't see where else you'd go. LUCKILY this place is open everyday until 2am. I went to Venice for two days on a Sunday and Monday and thank god for this place. We went both nights that we were there. The atmosphere is perfect. It's a jazz decor bar but the music is modern which we LOVED. I was so happy we found this place. The Fourth of July special shot. Amazing. So good. Must get. I also had an order of BBQ wings and fries. Came out fresh and nice and hot at about 1am, which is nearly unheard of anywhere. The staff was amazing so nice and they knew enough English that you speak with them normally. I loved this place and when I go back to Venice is definitely stop back in. I'd recommend anyone to this place. OH and they give you a FREE shot at the end when you're ready to pay for your drinks and meal. It's like a pistachio flavored shot. It's surprisingly so good. GO FOR IT. read more

When I first arrived at Bacaro Jazz I was immediately struck by how cool the atmosphere was. Even better, the staff seemed very welcoming and friendly. After being seated I selected a cocktail I'd never tried before. When it came I just didn't like it. When the bartender asked me what I thought of it, I reluctantly told him that I didn't like it; I added that it was my fault because I'd chosen poorly and that I didn't want another drink. The bartender insisted that I should have a different cocktail and just made me one! While the 2nd cocktail was much better (I liked it a lot) when it came time to pay my bill I saw that they had charged me for two drinks, even though I had refused a 2nd one! Given that, naturally I thought the replacement drink would be on the house. Were it not for this experience, I'd consider coming back here, but when the manager refused to correct the bill, I decided then and there that I wouldn't be back. read more

An amazing jazz bar, if you like jazz bars with no live jazz. If you request it, they will play jazz on the television for you instead of Italian "Dancing with the Stars." If you think nasty old used underwear on the ceiling is erotic, then you deserve this place. Nevertheless the chicken wings are good. read more

Love this place! My friends and I have dubbed it the bra bar as a result of the bras covering the ceiling (which the bartender says are all donations. My friend plans to donate one at the end of our trip). The bra bar is always popular, and though expensive and touristy, it has a charm I cannot really put words to. The music videos playing on the TV can be anything from rock to country to kpop. Before going out for the night we usually grab a table for an hour and get a few drinks. read more

Just.... I mean hey, if you're homesick for a bar that could be anywhere (particularly in America), but want to hear Italians (b/c they like it here for some reason) and eat Italian food (b/c they make it here) by all means - go. It's not a terrible place.. But I shook my head taking my new husband here... I've been before on a drunken crawl w/my friend years before... yes there are bras hanging from the ceiling... yes the bruschetta was quite good.... My fiance was brave and tried the much beloved Venetian staple of Sarde in saor (sardines in a sour mixture involving pine nuts)... But really - who, when they are in another country, unless they are young and homesick, wants to see the American flag everywhere? It's not the place for me... I will stick to the Cichetti bars for sure. read more

Considering that there's less than a handful of bars this is one place that's great to stop by. They're like the only place that's open beyond 11 pm so if you're looking for a typical bar with drinks and cocktails, this is the place to go. Was in Venice for a work trip and it was nice being a solo guy to hit up a bar and just grab a few drinks while meeting other random travelers! read more

Bacaro Jazz has a really fun atmosphere and is perfectly placed by the Rialto Bridge to bring in all the tourists and back packers. Right when you walk in the first thing that grabs your attention besides the long bar counter is all the Bras yes Bras hanging on the ceiling. The tradition is all the women walking in who donate there bra to the collection tend to get a free drink and a rise from the crowd. The Bar has every drink you can think so if your intent is to walk in sober and leave the same way forget about it. I stuck to the local venitian belinnis and peroni beers but my colleagues decided to sample everything. Overall nice place to mingle with people from all over the world, good music and TV's displaying worldwide sports from football to American Football and baseball. Great place for singles and couples. read more

The raves reviews make you think it's a lot more than it is. Hopefully there is more than the Jazz on the TV and the rows of tourist donated bras from the ceiling, but the Aperols are good and the bartender has a nice smile. Stop by because it's worth checking off the list and if you're on a budget then it's certainly a great place to get a few extra drinks. Venice has more to offer though so it's probably not going to be high on my list to go back to. read more

I came with my husband trying to kill time before a concert. We missed happy hour but enjoyed the space inside the bar. We enjoyed the cool ambiance and decorations (women's bras EVERYWHERE) and found the place inviting to foreigners. We each ordered a pint of local beers (hefty pours by the way!) and fries as a small snack. We enjoyed our time there as a Michael Buble concert DVD played in the background. They have what seems like a full bar and great selection of beer. I'm only giving this bar four stars because it's slightly on the pricey side of things. My husband and I were also ignored much of the visit because two females sat across from us and stole all the bartenders attentions! They were given free drinks and food, while everyone else waited on the service. Stop by if you have the time! read more

But I suggest you go there once, just for the experience!) read more

Best bar hands down. In Venice for 3 days came here all 3 nights. We're from California it's the vibe you are looking for. Get lost walking around and you'll find yourself right back here. Also the food is delicious don't play yourself going somewhere else. Also they play all sorts of music just enjoy it like it's the vibe in Venice. read more

We ordered two drinks, half way through mine I went to the bathroom, I grabbed my hat and put it back on. Just as I got to the toilets the really obnoxious tall guy with long hair stopped me and asked me what I wanted, when told I wanted to use the bathroom he told me it was up and to the left though I was right at the toilet door, confused I went to the main doorway and he signalled outside and left, so I ended up outside with my drink on the bar, effectively i got thrown out for not being a customer while having a drink at the bar, it took me a few seconds to figure out what was happening, we didn't go back in, the barman is a jerk, I lived in Venice and drank here many times when the old owner had it, seriously downhill service now. read more

Delicious Strong and tasty drinks. Fantastic friendly knowledgeable staff. Comfortable and fun atmosphere. Reasonable prices on drinks. Fun eclectic music playing the whole time we were there. read more

Main reason why I'm giving this place 1 star is because the bartender is the rudest person I've met in Italy! I asked if there was wifi and he was offended that I asked. He went on a rant about people and their phones. 1. I'm a tourist and don't have data... I NEED wifi! 2. I don't care for your opinion. 3. Don't treat me like I'm 2nd class because I live in America. I speak English AND SPANISH and I could understand what you are saying in italian. If you're American don't come here. The only thing this place has going for them is their happy hour from 4-6pm. read more

Happy hour is a very sacred time, and Bacaro Jazz truly respects that. From 4-6, there is a menu for buy-one-get-one-free drinks, so this is not a place to be dismissed. Part of the Venice-draw is that you get to sit back and relax because the place is so small. A vacation here should be stress-free, so why not get your drink on during the day for a great price? When we got into Bacaro Jazz, i knew this was a great place with a great vibe. Although they were not playing the jazz and blues music, as advertised, the top40s and hiphop were not too shabby. The decor was also something to talk about, and I refer to the bras hanging off the ceiling. Very neat place. Another thing to note is the bartender, who seems to be quite the character. For the few hours I was there, you could see the bartender having as much fun, if not more fun, as the college students and young travelers. This really set the tone for the place. If you are looking for a good time in Venice, look no further! read more

Not sure why it's called a jazz spot. Only music is on the TVs. We were looking for some life music. We decided not to stay as it was not happy hour and that seems to be the only time this place seems to be worth it. The drinks are a bit over priced for it to be a sort of dive bar. It's worth a shot if you don't find anything else to do. read more

If your idea of jazz is Foo Fighters, Jet, and Guns 'N Roses, this is the jazz club for you. It should be called Bacaro "Music Americans Will Like". That being said, the service and cocktails were good. Bras on the ceiling? Not so sure about that. But if you are an American wanting some MTV nostalgia, this is the place for you. read more

This is a great bar! We were there 11:30pm to 2 AM two nights in a row! The manager, MARIO, is a great bartendar! The drinks are huge and very strong and they have every liquor you can think of!

An interesting "jazz" bar? We stopped by for a drink because my husband thought I needed to see this hole in the wall joint. Quite interest, I'd say. There wasn't much jazz going on. Perhaps it wasn't a "jazz" night? They played 80's music on the TV the whole time we were there. The bar area is really small with a couple of high tables and bar stools. I see that they also serve food....it looked good. The ceiling was decorated with hanging bras of all colors and sizes. I was told that ladies would get a free drink if they give up their bra. Each bra had a date and name written on it. Seems like a "Girls Gone Wild" type of place. read more
