Santo Bevitore Venice
Craft beers
Huge selection of Beers! Il Santo Bevitore is the perfect bar, whether I'm aching for a ice-cold beer or I'm out with some friends and want a good gin -- this spot has an excellent selection of both.
A TV showing sports almost all the time makes my man very happy. But the ambience is always comfortable and warm, thanks to the good selection of jazz music.
The first time I went there, I made the mistake to ask for a spritz, and my friend asked for wine: no, they serve only beers and cocktails, and I love this kind of restrictions, because IMHO this means this spot can have very niche products!
There are a lot of Italian craft beers on tap and like 50 different types of beers from every country and strength possible. Same thing for the excellent gin selection and a dozen or so of the best scotches. These are not so cheap (7 euro) but it's really worth it for the quality and the special recipes. I have never tried any, but the counter is also filled with snack foods too.
The staff is very young and helpful, above all when I cannot make up my mind about which beer to try and all are worth trying. For me the winners are Chimay and La Chouffe -- you won't be disappointed! And... when your beer is ready, you'll hear a bell call you!

Ca' Bembo
Free space for everyone
"Ca' Bembo" is a referent point for Venice. It's an occupied palace that has become a free cultural and relaxation space right in the center!

Lio Piccolo
Immersion in the lagoon
"Lio Piccolo" in Venice is the perfect place to go on a summer day when the heat is too much to take. I love going there by bike and used to do so daily!
