Experimental Cocktail Club
Dorsoduro, Venice
Bar in Venice, Italy
Book with PearlWhy go
Experimental Cocktail Club is a strong Venice pick when the priority is cocktails and atmosphere rather than dinner. The concealed lounge inside Il Palazzo Experimental works especially well for dates, nightcaps, small celebratory drinks, with Italian-spirits influence and lower-ABV options adding useful range. Eat elsewhere if food is central to the night.
About Experimental Cocktail Club
Experimental Cocktail Club in Venice is an evening venue with a price of $35 per person and a smart-casual dress code. The confirmed schedule makes it a late-day and late-night option rather than a lunch plan: it opens at 6:30 PM on operating days and is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Treat any more specific claims about menu details, room layout, reservations, food service, or special offerings as something to check directly with the venue before building an evening around them.
Choose it for an evening plan, not a lunch plan
The available hours point to an evening-only visit. Experimental Cocktail Club opens at 6:30 PM on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, with later closing times on Friday and Saturday. For broader planning, use our full Venice restaurants guide first, then consider this venue for the part of the night that matches its confirmed hours.
The price is $35 per person. That gives you a useful baseline for planning, but the available data does not confirm specific menu items, dietary options, seating style, or service format. If those details matter for your group, confirm them directly before going.
Use the smart-casual dress code as your clearest planning cue
Confirmed dress code is smart casual, so it suits a more polished evening plan in Venice. Keep expectations flexible and use the smart-casual guidance as the clearest signal for how to dress.

When to go, when to pick another format
Go on a night when the posted hours work for your schedule: Monday, Thursday, Sunday from 6:30 PM to 1 AM, or Friday and Saturday from 6:30 PM to 2 AM. Do not plan it for Tuesday or Wednesday, when it is closed. If your evening depends on confirmed food service, specific seating, outdoor space, or a particular menu, choose another format or verify those details with the venue first.

If the goal is wine and an easier casual stop, go to Cantine del Vino già Schiavi. If the night needs a more polished special-occasion setting, compare Bar Longhi or Riva Lounge instead.
Bar context
How it compares in Venice
Experimental Cocktail Club makes the most sense for a cocktail-first night in Dorsoduro. Cantine del Vino già Schiavi is the better value play if the plan is wine and casual bites, while Pasticceria Toletta is a daytime or low-commitment stop rather than a celebration bar.
For occasion energy, compare it with Bar Longhi and Riva Lounge. Those are stronger fits when polished hotel ambience matters; Experimental Cocktail Club is the better call when the drink itself is the point and the night is staying around Dorsoduro.
Skyline Rooftop Bar is the clearer choice for a view-led plan, especially for visitors who want scenery built into the booking. Choose Experimental Cocktail Club when a compact cocktail stop beats a destination-view format.
