Live Music entertainment in Venice

  1. Marina Club

    Breezy gazebos and candles set the scene for summertime patio parties at the Marina Club, which isn’t actually on the waterfront; it’s near a canal and just down the road from Il Muretto. This club is a sprawling estate with multiple lounges, gardens, restaurants, occasional live music acts and weekend DJ sets that coax sun-bronzed crowds off their lounges. Entry is free but dress stylishly to pass bouncer scrutiny around midnight.

    Terrazzamare

    All the style you’d expect from an Italian beach club, with bronzed regulars in enormous glasses sprawled on lipstick red designer club chairs well past sunset and matched pairs of pale Biennale-goers making out behind art installations. With open cabanas on a raised platform, dance scenes on the sand below and occasional DJ duels, the Terazza earns its claim to fame as a ‘theatre-bar’.

    Laboratorio Occupato Morion

    When not busy staging alternative art biennales or environmental protests to the Mose project, this counter-culture social centre throws one hell of a dance party, with performances by bands from around the Veneto. Events are announced on the blog (in Italian) and, in situationist fashion, with wheat-paste posters thrown up around town.
