Harry's Bar In Venezia

My spouse told me of a place we were going to while in Venice. Harry's Bar. Home of the infamous bellini drink, which is prosecco mixed with peach puree. Okay... Never heard of it or them before. ATMOSPHERE: The small bar is located just off the Grand Canal, west of St. Mark's Square. The decor is classic and simple. There's a small bar and a mix of table and bench-style seating. We were lucky to score two seats at the bar as we were able to watch the bar in action. The staff were dressed in white formal wear. We were in our American vacation wardrobe lol. MENU: We noticed some pasta and meat dishes flying by but we didn't have any food. BEVERAGE: Bellini - What can I say except that it was good, but nothing sensational. Pricey at around $20 per small glass. It's a pretty color, kind of a pale peach. There was definitely more juice in there than there was sparkling wine, resulting in zero buzz, but very refreshing. I guess the point of it is to enjoy the drink on its home turf in the old-world ambiance. SERVICE: The bartender was professional and friendly. Drink service was quick. OVERALL: What the hey, it's a must-do when in Venezia. Live a little and splurge as I'm sure your airfare wasn't cheap either.

We were genuinely impressed by the hospitality and the impeccable level of service at Harry’s Bar. One thing that truly stood out — and deserves praise — is their adherence to a dress code. I’ve seen complaints from some guests who were turned away for showing up in beachwear or flip-flops, but that’s precisely what I appreciate about this establishment. If you’re visiting a place with history, elegance, and tradition, the least you can do is show a touch of respect in how you present yourself. Not every bar needs to cater to the “just rolled off the cruise ship” look. Full respect to the staff and management for upholding standards and preserving the charm and dignity of such a legendary venue.

A cult place that is over 100 years old, where Bellini and carpaccio were invented, it is delicious, intimate and despite the rating of 3 on the map it is worth going, book in advance. The crowd is varied. The vanilla meringue dessert is wonderful, the thinly sliced pasta is also, the carpaccio is consistently delicious. Of course there are minuses, but the pluses outweigh Yes, this is not a restaurant in Dubai on DIFC, everything here is small, the interior is tired, but this is where the story begins!

Great experience in Venise a bit pricey but for what you get as far as food quality location and service its amazing! Highly recommand

Every dish is a classic, perfectly prepared.

The founding place of the Bellini is worth the visit because it is really good but there will be some sticker shock especially when you get the seemingly small sized glass. But it is better than an other Bellini in Venice. The staff was supper attentive and quick to provide 1st class service. No chips but you do get tasty olives with a personally wrapped toothpick and plate to discard the pit. You are probably only coming to Venice once. So stop on in. You won't regret it.

Attentive service, interesting environment, great cocktails. On the expensive side but entirely within the spirit of the area. Drinks come accompanied with savoury bites. Visiting early in the day is recommended to avoid crowds and make the best of the experience.

Very expensive for drinks & only small glasses. Cost 40 Euros for 2 drinks & 1 was non alcoholic

Locale iconico e ricco di storia. Sicuramente molto costoso ma fondamentalmente sono soldi ben spesi. Tovaglie e tovaglioli perfettamente stirati (la tovaglia prima del dessert viene coperta da una pulita, erano decenni che non lo vedevo fare),servizio impeccabile, cibo buono (spettacolare la torta Cipriani). Esperienza da godere.

Another icon within Venice! Famous for its Bellini where it was created. Fairly basic decor, 22€ for the Bellini, the plate of sandwiches is very nice. Have to visit given its famous heritage but be prepared to pay the price!
