Bakarò do Draghi

Venice


Not to be confused with it's large sister bar-restaurant Bakarò on the corner, this trendy, pocket-sized bar is so small that the crowd inevitably spills onto the sidewalk, trying not to spill drinks in the process. Below a tangle of filament bulbs is the tiny wooden bar, peddling respectable cicheti (Venetian tapas) and around 45 wines by the glass.
