Venice Cafe & Pizzeria: Authentic Italian Pizza and Casual Dining Experience

Amazing place, extremely unique. If you're uve never been, give it a shot. It's like a miniature City Museum that's a bar. For instance, they have doll heads hanging from a clothesline. The crowd is a little older, which means it's more relaxed. If you want a more rowdy place, go to Soulard. This is where friendships are made.

Some friends and I came here for the first time last weekend and I love this place. They had these $20 mystery boxes for sale at the bar and we bought them. They were full of just fun goodies that made no sense and I think that was the point. Great place to take some Instagram photos and just chill to have some drinks. We'll definitely be back.

Found this place in the Atlas obscura and made a point of visiting while in town. Definitely a unique bar with live music and certainly worth the visit! Cash only so be sure to bring some though there is an ATM that you can pay a fee to use in the basement

I'm an artist so I found the place pretty cool and interesting. Loved the Mosaic tiles all throughout the establishment. They serve drinks but no food, which was a bummer for me since I love food lol. But it was a neat experience.

Venice Cafe in Benton Park, St. Louis, is a cash-only gem that seamlessly blends a watering hole with a vibrant performance venue. The funky folk art and lively mosaics, both inside and outside, create an atmosphere that's as eclectic as it is welcoming. The wacky, goofy charm extends to the live music, playing from 9:00 pm to 1:00 am, Monday through Saturday. This vivid burst of color everywhere is everything I needed.

This bar is among the most unique, most artistic, and most importantly loving and inclusive vibe. It also has the most mosaics anywhere in St. Louis short of the Basilica. Do yourself a favor and GO!! FYI cash only.

I stopped in for a visit to see the amazing collection of art and other decorations. I was not disappointed. Everything from the walls to floors to ceiling plus everything else in the cafe was all visually interesting. There were definitely things I liked and some not so much. It's obviously a local hang out where everyone knows each other. While called a cafe, it's a bar. There's no food except some pretzels available. They do serve canned soda for anyone not drinking. I went in the afternoon when they opened. They are also known for their nightly entertainment. On Mondays it's open mic night but the rest of the week brings in a variety of musical groups.

This bar is a gem. It's got the most eclectic decor. Art and mosaics and sculptures everywhere. Often has live music as well. Nice patio too. And some fountains. Cash bar only and often has a cover.
