Venice Jazz Club ★ 4.6
Dorsoduro · Dorsoduro 3102, Ponte dei Pugni, 30123 Venezia
The Venice Jazz Club is the city's lone dedicated jazz room, a small Dorsoduro space near Ponte dei Pugni that programmes two live sets a night Monday through Friday, with the resident VJC Jazz Quartet rotating with touring acts.
Tip: Tickets include a welcome drink; arrive by 20:30 for the 21:00 set to claim a table near the band. The room is closed Wednesday and Sunday and through most of August.
Bacaro Jazz ★ 4.0
San Marco · Salizada del Fontego dei Tedeschi 5546, 30124 Venezia
Bacaro Jazz has run on Salizada del Fontego dei Tedeschi a hundred metres from the Rialto Bridge since 1997, with recorded and occasional live jazz, a ceiling thick with bras left by guests and a kitchen that holds through the late hours.
Tip: The bar runs straight through service so you can drop in for a cicchetto at 18:00 or a cocktail at 01:00. Cocktails sit around twelve euros and the room fills past midnight on weekends.
Bar Dandolo ★ 4.5
Castello · Riva degli Schiavoni 4196, 30122 Venezia
Bar Dandolo sits among marble columns and Murano chandeliers on the ground floor of the fourteenth century Palazzo Dandolo at the Hotel Danieli, with classic cocktails, a Gambero Rosso Bar d'Italia history and live piano most evenings.
Tip: Cocktails run around twenty euros; the early aperitivo slot from 18:00 is the calmest window. Afternoon tea service runs 15:00 to 18:00 if you want the room without the bar tab.
