Terminal

Recently established in a former refrigerated warehouse in downtown Mestre, Terminal bangs out cool tunes and chilled anthems to the weekend masses. This is, without doubt, the closest Venice gets to a proper club – complete with spicy pizza slices and the obligatory scantily-clad podium dancers to get the boys in the mood. Music is generally of a commercial house flavour, with decent mixes of Italian and international dancefloor favourites by a selection of top local DJs. Next door is a pretty decent bar should you need refuelling – though be warned, you will need female company to enter.
