Tsing Tao Beer Pub
It had to happen sooner or later. Tsing Tao beer, the only Chinese beer to have made it in the international market, is either ripping off the Starbucks chain or else has taken some advice from the British breweries and is starting a chain of its own. This is the first venue. Local hotel escapees are forming the customer base and will be supplemented, no doubt, by fans from the local football stadium. The beer on offer includes some premium brews as well as barrels of the standard stuff.

Cantina Do Mori
The oldest, most famous and consequently most expensive of Venice’s traditional baccaro bars, this cosy little tavern situated a stone’s throw from the Rialto markets has a selection of fine wines and mouth-watering snacks to interest even the most snooty of gastronomic snobs. Avoid peak hours when the bar area is swamped by a wave of rather foul-smelling fish sellers, and opt instead for a quiet, weekday afternoon when you can have the place, the food and the wine cellar all to yourself.
