Al Vapore, the small music venue is located right off the mainland-side of the bridge to Venice in Marghera, which is directly on the other side of the tracks from the train station in Mestre. They very often host international jazz acts and world-class music concerts. Folks from all over the region come to Al Vapore to hear good live music in an intimate setting. It's one of the few places in Mestre where the entire family can enjoy a cultural entertainment and some tasty Italian grub.
Urban Klub is a chic nightclub with great sounds and lights. It has made a niche for itself by hosting reputed national and international DJs like Joseph Capriati, Riktor, Paul Ritch, Len Faki, Andrea B and No_Name. Groove to the popular house tunes on their medium-sized dance floor till wee into the morning.
The name of this restaurant (the distributor) is taken from a nearby petrol station, in Mestre. There is quite a large place with several dining rooms. This is just the place to have a quiet chat and to eat a quick snack. The clientele varies enormously with people of all ages coming here. It is furnished in a contemporary style. There is soft background music, which is usually turned up later in the evening making it a little bit more difficult to chat. The food is all very quickly prepared. There is a wide range of sandwiches, and very good sweet and savoury pancakes. There is a good selection of beers, soft drinks and some wine. They also serve gin, vodka, or rum based cocktails.
Eurobaita Al Lago is a popular club where live musicals, gigs, corporate parties and fashion shows are a regular feature.
Claudia's is a discreet alternative to other bars in the area. It could be a meeting point before heading off to the disco but it is certainly a place where you can drink Kaiser or Splugen in a lively atmosphere, with bright colours and accompanied by music.
There are cocktails and (why not?) a "summer coffee". They will also make up sandwiches and cakes to be taken away if you order them.
Al Volta is Venice's oldest wine bar and arguably one of the city's most popular hangouts for local and domestic wines. This bar supposedly has over 2000 wines in its collection and yes, those are wine labels on the ceiling! Be sure to try some of the local white wines and indulge in some cicchetti (bite-size, finger foods) that the Venetians are known for.
