"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'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."

"My wife and I headed to The Venice Cafe for nightcap drinks on our date night. The decor was quirky and interesting, though a bit over the top. Live music added to the lively atmosphere. Since the weather was nice, we opted for the patio, which was a fantastic choice--it was lovely out there. You have to self serve and order the drinks at the bar with cash only. A couple of things to note: the whole place is cash only, but they do have an ATM for convenience. Also, since it was the weekend, there was a $5 entry fee per person. Despite these quirks, we had a great time and enjoyed the unique vibe."

"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."

"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."
