Irish Pubs in Venice

The gorgeous meandering streets of Venice aren’t home to a bustling nightlife, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t at least a few Venice Irish pubs to sneak into if the spirit moves.

Thankfully, one of Venice’s most popular Irish pubs is easy to remember, if only because it’s called The Irish Pub. Formerly known as Fiddler’s Elbow, The Irish Pub’s new owners have gone out of their way to freshen up the décor and modernize the technology to better serve the same sports-loving clientele the bar has always attracted.

Devils Forest Pub also went through a fairly major revamping, and serves up lots of Italian snacks to go with the Harp, Kilkenny, and Guinness flowing from the taps and the rugby and soccer blaring down from the myriad flat-screens.

If screaming over a bit of soccer doesn’t sound satisfying, you can always find mellower joints like the Inishark pub, which promise a more staid atmosphere while still carrying all the major games.

Nonetheless, Irish pubs in Venice don’t abound, and those truly homesick or dying for some bangers & mash and shepherd’s pie will certainly not be feeling the luck of the Irish. Then again, if you only went to Venice to hang out in an Irish pub, you’re kind of missing the point, aren’t you?
