Nightlife & The Arts in Venice
Read our Venice nightlife & the arts reviews. Or post your own.
Entertainment Overview
Your first impression may well be that Venice doesn't have a nightlife. As the last rays of daylight slip away, so too do most signs of a bustling town. Boat traffic drops to the occasional vaporetto, shutters roll down, and signs go dark. Even though bacari (wine bars) would seem to be natural after-hours gathering spots, most close around 9 PM. Yet sprinkled judiciously around the city's residential-looking calli and campi, you'll stumble upon locali (nightspots) that stay open until 1 or 2 AM. Some even offer live music, though rarely past midnight -- a city ordinance prohibits too much wildness except during Carnevale. Except for a couple of lounge bars with dancing, nightlife tends to be student oriented.
