Yes, it's overpriced but you know that going in there so don't make a reservation for the most expensive restaurant in Venice if you don't want to spend $400 on dinner for 2! I don't know how people said that the staff was rude and snotty, they were so nice to us and attentive, never had an empty glass, they... more

Had not been to Harry's in a number of years. It is still the same wonderful bar as always. Tuesday night is local night, men should wear a jacket, this is not a street pub. Had Martinis with the man, Arrigo Cipriani and our table was next to his. Expensive, yes, if you don't care for the price don't go,... more

Well, that is exactly what one should do when even thinking about going to Harry´s Bar. Run from it!!! I honestly think that anyone who who wrote a good review about this place here was just trying to make a hoax with somebody else, with that kind of thinking "Ok, I´m not going to be the only one [--] by... more

Recently went to Venice with my sisters and visited Harry's Bar. We knew it would be expensive but still went in. First time I had a Bellini and I loved it. Small drink but worth the priceless moment spent with two of my best friends, MY SISTERS ( CHANTY AND ROSIE) more

Small, non descript bar downstairs (no harm in that) with much nicer room upstairs (good views from some tables; better option for dining). Absurdly priced average food and drinks. The disdain on the face of the chief barman was a sight to behold as he slopped large beakers of Bellinis into glasses (Euro 19, each). Cafes on St. Mark's Square... more

Harry's Bar is surprisingly small, we were there on a busy Friday night. Luckily, we found a place at the bar, and enjoyed watching the bartender make martinis. Being Hemingway and Orson Welles fans, we had put the bar near the top of list of Venice sites. My husband and I love martinis, and we were served the best martinis... more

Sure, it's expensive. Sure, the waiters are surly. You must have missed the twinkle in their eyes while you were holding onto your wallet. Get over it! The experience...unparalleled for chic, style, and elegance. Sure it's a bucket list attraction but they pull it off! Get a Bellini to start. Then order the best grilled cheese sandwich ever made and... more

Ate here in May 2009 on a business trip. Not bad food, but still the worst meal of the whole entire trip - and by far the most expensive. Do yourself a favor - walk in, have a bellini at the bar (This will set you back plenty) and check it off the bucket list. Then, go ask the hotel... more

The only good thing about Harry's is their reputation. Walked in, got ignored by the wait staff who grumped and shoved us into an uncomfortable table. Ordered Bellini's and took a picture of us drinking a Bellini. Got barked at by the waiter for taking a picture. Then Woody Harrelson walked in. We left. Won't be back. more
