Venice Jazz Club Venice

Stacy from Venice

About me I am an American artist creating in Venice, Italy. I’ve been having a passionate love affair with this city for more than twenty years! A full-time painter, writer and terrace gardener, I embrace life like a rambling art project in process. I hold a graduate degree in Art from New York University.

""Venice Jazz Club" is an intimate music venue and one of my favorite places for a night on the town... Protip: cost of entry includes first drink!"

Over a decade ago a couple of Venetian musicians with a vision took over one of the only discos in town and transformed the space into an intimate jazz club. Our favorite place for a night on the town is this spot.

The Jazz Club is on the edge of popular Campo Santa Margherita, just on the fondamenta of the infamous Ponte dei Pugni (Fighting Bridge) in Dorsoduro.

Concerts are nightly, starting at 21:00. Guests are requested to arrive and be seated by 20:45. This is not a dance club. It is a sit, drink, listen club. They offer light fare beginning at 19:00. The cost of entry includes the first drink!

Tuesday and Friday nights the band performs lively Latin Jazz. The drummer is brilliant, with an array of personally made percussion instruments which will have you bouncing in your seat!

Owner Federico Nalesso will greet you at the door, take your drink order and then entertain you from his throne at the piano. A truly wonderful way to pass an evening in La Serenissima. The whirlwind of pleasure will end promptly by 23:00 in accordance with Venetian noise variance… follow me over to legendary Franco's, Osteria Alla Bifora, for a nightcap in the campo (check the Osteria alla Bifora article)!

* Seasonal hours can apply due to special events and high water. My advice is to always call first and book a table!

About me I am an American artist creating in Venice, Italy. I’ve been having a passionate love affair with this city for more than twenty years! A full-time painter, writer and terrace gardener, I embrace life like a rambling art project in process. I hold a graduate degree in Art from New York University. Why Venice The mystery, history and gritty elegance of this decaying, floating world has me entangled, inspired and often longing for the past. Venice is a unique spot at the center of the cultural world. Nearly everyone has visited or plans to visit; I decided to s...
