Tip: Stand at the bar for the Bellini at half the table price; the dress code tightens after 19:00 and bookings are for the dining room, not the cocktail counter.

Experimental Cocktail Club hides behind a Cristina Celestino designed lobby door inside Il Palazzo Experimental on the Zattere, with the Paris and London.
TipWalk ins only, no reservations; the hotel desk can hold a table for guests. The Tuesday and Wednesday close is non negotiable and the room shuts for two weeks in January.
Il Mercante runs an 1870s former cafe a few steps from the Frari basilica as one of Venice's serious cocktail rooms, with a Magellan inspired list themed.
TipOrder the Captain's Death if you like bitter and dry; the bar staff also build off menu. The room sits maybe thirty so reservations on Friday and Saturday avoid the queue.
Bar Longhi is the social hub of The Gritti Palace on Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, with mirrored walls of Murano crystal, eighteenth century paintings.
TipCocktails are nineteen euros, bar bites from twenty two; the terrace seats a handful so book ahead for sunset. Afternoon tea is the calmer slot if the bar feels too formal.
The Bar at Aman sits in the piano nobile of Palazzo Papadopoli overlooking the hotel's Grand Canal garden, with bar manager Antonio Ferrara on a seasonal.
TipThe garden opens for cocktails from midday in warm months; the indoor salon takes over October through April. The Venice Cocktail Week and Architecture Biennale slots fill weeks ahead.
Metro Venezia Club has run on Via Cappuccina in Mestre since 2012 as the Venice metro area's main gay sauna and recreation club, with a Finnish sauna.
TipHistoric Venice has no standing gay bar; Metro on the mainland is the scene. Five hundred metres from Mestre station, ten minutes from Piazzale Roma by tram. ANDDOS card at the door.
Trash and Chic has run as Venice's longest-standing LGBTQ pop-up since 2006, currently using the Molocinque warehouse in Marghera two or three Saturdays.
TipCheck the Facebook page for the dated calendar; the venue is Molocinque most months but the event also travels to Padova. Cab back to historic Venice is the only late option.
