    Presentation makes a difference!
    Dee Z.

    Our first time in Venice. After a long day of sightseeing in the rain, we were craving some good bourbon. Yelped local bars and Time Social was farther than many but 5 stars always trumps distance so we trudged a little more in the rain to get here. Doesn't get any better. Outside seating was not an option with rain. Only 1 seat open so we figured we'd try another bar. Freddie welcomed us and rearranged a table, grabbed some chairs and made room for us. The bartenders Freddie and Sara were great! The drink presentation and liquor selection were fabulous and the atmosphere is fun!

    Such a fun, cool bar for drinks! The drink menu had so much selection from cocktails, beer, wine and nonalcoholic drinks. We also enjoyed their playlist in music. We ended up getting a devils blood, blood o positive and an Asian Mary.

    Penicillin

    On a late Thursday night stroll in Venice, we happened upon this gem of bar. Right off the bat of looking at the menu, I knew the cocktails were going to be good. I like how the menu provided a little story and description about each cocktail. Our bartender was absolutely wonderful. So friendly and kind. I wish we had asked about her name so that we could give her personal shout here. But anyway, service was awesome. First night, I got the Smoky Boulevardier, which was strong in smoke flavor but the other flavors still presented themselves well. My wife got the Tom Collins, she said the taste was classic with a nice modern spin of egg whites and chamomile crumble on top. Since we loved our experience, we came back for a second night. Where I ordered the Penicillin. I don't like giving superlatives for many things. But definitely one of the best(if not THE best) Penicillin I've ever had. So balanced. Ultimate drink-ability. My wife got the Angel. Which she said was a refreshing summer drink. I really appreciated their presentation on all of the cocktails we ordered. Thoughtful aesthetics paired with practical vessel/glass choices rolls out the carpet for memorable drinks. It's a small, intimate space, and it gets busy but not overly packed. Definitely come check it out if you're in Venice and in the mood for a cocktail.

    Basil vodka sour and Wild Mule***

    Fantastic place to grab some drinks, snacks, enjoy good music and just hang out. Their drinks were fantastic! Super creative and tasty. Standouts for us were their wild mule and under the sun. Freshly made drinks (I watched the bartender hand grind the ingredients for our drinks.) Really pleasant service as well with frequent water refills. Yummy Cicchetti with good ingredients. Tasteful decor, comfortable seating. It's our last night in Venice after two weeks in Italy trying our best to find authentic food and avoid tourist traps. This is a gem and a wonderful wind-down to our trip.

    The suiting atmosphere, including the really hot bartender, is supported by the good choice of music. However, the bread-and-butter skill of any bar, which calls itself a cocktail bar, is the taste of the drinks. One word on this: Awesome PS: the prices are totally fine

    This was probably one of my favorite parts Venice I didn't feel like a tourist in here. All their ingredients are fresh and from scratch. I loved the basil drink it was creative and refreshing. We actually came here twice in the 3 1/2 days we spent in Venice. The customer service, the drinks, and small tapas are to rave about!

    I didn't try the cocktails - but I did check their gins and am in love MacGuffin. Super friendly bartenders, nice crowd, very very chill place (not very easy to find in Venice, even in the Cannaregio)

    Great drinks, very chill bar and excellent service. They made one of the best smoky mezcal old fashioned I've had and I'm from Chicago which makes great Old Fashioned drinks.

    I was really surprised because Venice is a lot more expensive than a lot of Italy but that does not apply here.

    Situated at the foot of the Ponte dei Frari bridge in a non-touristy, quiet part of Venice, this…read morequaint two-story bar with an inventive cocktail menu is characterized by a mezzanine with black leather booths and beautiful stained glass lamps hanging from the ceiling that opens up to look down on the main room. This is actually a historical Venetian cafe' from 1870's called "Caffe' dei Frari o Toppo"[1], and I remember coming here regularly when I was in college to "study", i.e. to hang out with my friends who would also come here during the day. In fact, this is still a cafe' during the day, but it transforms itself in a cocktail bar at night. The vibe is mellow, relaxed and romantic and this bar prides itself on being one of the few in Venice to serve truly inventive contemporary cocktails. The menu is actually divided by techniques: fermentation, distillation, liquid kitchen, and fat wash. We tried the Cucumber and Fake Rose (fermentation: Fermented cucumber, Andaliman pepper, Lillet, verjus and bubbles) and The Amaz-on Fire (fat wash: Yaguara cachaca, coconut oil, Cynar, dill, house sherry mix and Porcini mushroom; peat perfume). Both were excellent, and were presented in an artful way that doesn't feel pretentious. And if you are hungry, the bar serve their own cichetti (bar snacks). I look forward to coming back next year, and perhaps try one of the food-inspired, liquid kitchen cocktails. ------------------------------- [1] https://www.yelp.com/biz/caffe-dei-frari-o-toppo-venezia

    Finally found my other notes for this place. They did really interesting stuff with their sides…read more Very modern, in portion sizes that are approachable. It brings delight and minimizes food waste if guests don't like it. * Le Corsaire: A gorgeous soft green drink. Sweet but not sugary, with a lil bit of spice at the end. It was paired with a blue cheese mousse and honey caviar - I don't know how they did it, but it was delicious. The blue cheese taste makes the mousse pop. * Steven had a cocktail that came with a side of yogurt covered with a soft shell (that acted like a water balloon). * Hispaniola: The drink was smoky and something about it tasted like temptation. Paired with a beautifully done meringue (nice and airy!) and a keyboard-smashingly gorgeous caviar.
