Nightlife in Venice is centred on the city’s local bacari, enoteche (wine bars) and osterie (taverns), as well as hip cocktails bars at its top hotels. Local favourites include Ai Rusteghi for its comprehensive wine list, Al Timon for its canal-side setting and cicchetti (bar snacks), Star People by Night for cheap drinks and a relaxed setting, and Cantina Do Mori for the house prosecco. For trendier options, head to Margaret Duchamp for cocktails, Muro Mettign Bar to rub shoulders with Venice’s fashionable folk, and Orange for people-watching. If you’d rather splurge on an exclusive experience, then look no farther than the Hilton hotel’s Skyline Bar for its panoramic views of the city. Read less
