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.

The only nightlife in Venice it seemed! This place was pretty cool, once the drinks are flowing, they play decent music although not super up to date. They make other drinks when you get tired of drinking wine, there’s places to sit. It’s a pretty chill place, we started a dance club haha. Also there’s tons of bra’s hanging from the ceiling(no I did not contribute LOL), their taste in decoration is interesting for a «jazz club.» I’m really not sure why it’s called that, it’s more of just a bar. Guess that’s jazz club in Italy for ya ! Met some really cool people here, actually a group staying at a hostel, people from all over like australia, england, canada, etc. All good fun.

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 ANDSPANISH 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.

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 décor 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!

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.

2 weeks in Europe and this was the best night out! The bartender was super friendly and made us feel more than welcome. We had a great time meeting other travelers including a couple from the UK and an entire crew from a private yacht just in from Brasil. You never know who you will run into in a place like this but that’s what makes it great! Cheers for a great night out and fantastic service!

Bra covered ceiling(yes you read that right) specializing in American type cocktails and jazz. Very tasty pizza, very friendly service, and complimentary kamikazes. What’s not to love. We followed it up at the scrumptious Suso Gelateria.

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!

Beatrice is an awesome bartender. If you like mojitos try the Cab Calloway. Otherwise challenge her with your most complicated request — we did and she rocked them all.

Bacaro is a cute little bar tucked in the quiet & dark streets of Venezia. We were aching for a drink and a little fun so we walked over to Bacaro. You walk in… and you see bras hanging from the ceiling… from A to FF cup. Our waiter floated over and took our order and we sipped on some pretty tasty, strong cocktails. We even tried out the bruschetta and that was very tasty.

I worked on a cruise ship in 2007. And we spent the night of my 21st birthday in Venice. Me and my friends were lucky enough to stumble upon this place by accident for lunch, and fell in love with the place! We ended up calling upon all of our colleagues for a last minute birthday party. Bacaro was able to accommodate all 35 of the people that showed up and gave me the best birthday party ever with amazing food and drinks. Everyone had a great time all thanks to the staff and the owner of bacaro!(at least 8 of the bras on those walls were from my party)!!!

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 fiancé 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.

Die meisten Reiseführer empfehlen diese Bar als erlesenen Ort, um gute Jazz-Bands zu hören und einen gepflegten Drink zu sich zu nehmen. Die Realität sah wie folgt aus: schlecht gelaunte Kellner verweisen einen wortkarg an die Katzentische, wenn man ledglich etwas trinken möchte; der Chianti erinnerte nur auf Grund seiner dunklen Färbung daran, dass es sich um einen Rotwein handeln soll der Rest war wässrig, sauer und wude(glücklicherweise) in Wuchermengen ausgeschenkt; das gediegene Ambiente wurde besonders durch wackelige Klappstühle, einen Teppich an Büstenhaltern, der von der Decke prozend herabhing und einer zu lauten Konzetaufnahme von Sade, die durch etwas in die Jahre gekommene Lautsprecher ziemlich kratzig ertönte, verstärkt. Nach den 12EUR für die zwei Pfützen sauren Weins flohen wir auf einen ausgedehnten Spaziergang durch Venedig, was uns den Abend mehr als nur rettete. Fazit: Entweder sind Unstimmigkeiten in der Kommunikaton zwischen Reiseführern und der Bar verantwortlich für die komplett an der Realität vorbeigehenden Versprechen, oder man betreibt vorsätzlich Etikettenschwindel, kalkulierend, dass sich kein Gast nach seinem ersten Besuch ein zweites Mal sehen lassen wird. Aber auch davon abgesehen können wir das Lokal nicht weiterempfehlen, weil es selbst bei den grundlegneden Dingen das Niveau einer Tourimühle nicht überschreitet.

In 2004, this bar was a real jazz club. It was dark, moody, filled with locals, and played some amazing jazz. In November I returned to Venice, and discovered that my favorite little hot spot had transformed into a brightly lit, second-rate Hogs and Heifers. From the American flag to the bras suspended from the ceiling, the bar(poorly) pandered to tourists. This bar is only worth using a meeting place with friends, because at some point everyone passes by this street on the way to somewhere else.

This place is the best bar. if you ever find your self in Venice go there… It’s a cool bar, with bras on the ceiling. If your girl and you give your bra up, you get a t-shirt. That and it’s a just an awesome place, good atmosphere good music and fun times

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.

Great restaurant and cocktail bar in Venice; the kitchen is open until 2AM and the bar gets really fun and crowded at night. The ceiling is full of bras left by the customers; awesome jazz music, although not many live gigs. Would definitely recommend to stop by this restaurant in Venice for a Bellini(or 2 thanks to the Happy Hour in the afternoon!). Check out and enjoy this Venice Restaurant( ) ! Video link:

Pour les fans de Jazz Comme son nom l’indique, dans ce bar à vin, vous pourrez boire un verre sur fond de jazz et dans une ambiance de lumières tamisées. Il offre une belle sélection de bières, de cocktails, et des vins à consommer au verre. Tard le soir, la clientèle s’enrichie des serveurs des restaurants alentours venus boire un dernier verre.

Ambiance sympa et chaleureuse Mojito délicieux, très bons vins à découvrir et ambiance super sympa: l’après-midi plus cool pour y apprécier un mojito entre amis, le soir plus«chaud» pour y rencontrer d’autres épicuriens qui apprécient aussi cette adresse. A recommander.
