Venus Bar and its spectacular terrace overlooking the harbor of Portovenere and Palmaria Island are the venues for a series of foodie experiences and live music concerts near Cinque Terre.
Summer Mocktails & Cocktails
The mixologists at Venus Bar are constantly concocting new drinks and keeping the Cocktail menu original and dynamic.
Examples? Among the new protagonists of 2024 are:
- Ca du Kir wine cocktail featuring Crème de Cassis and local Vermentino. It is a twist on the classic Kir, the famous cocktail born in 1950 in Burgundy.
- Vinegar Negroni offers another interesting twist on the classic Negroni cocktail. It is made with a Vermouth that passes through barrels that were previously used for balsamic vinegar. The taste is, therefore, something unique!
- You can taste Mexico in Portovenere with the Mexcalita de Juaréz cocktail, inspired by the great Tommy’s Margarita. The touch of Palo Santo Cordial gives a very particular flavor that combines perfectly with the smoky notes of this drink.
If you are not into alcoholic drinks, Venus Bar has something refreshing and surprising in store.
- Basil Smash 0.0 highlights one of the finest ingredients of the Gulf of Poets, the delicious and fresh basil.
- For a more fruity cocktail, try Alquimico 0.0, created on the notes of grapefruit and raspberry.
Delicious mussels for a good cause
“Sunset Muscoli” is the food solidarity event organized by Grand Hotel Portovenere every summer on the panoramic veranda of its Venus Bar and Palmaria Restaurant.
On this delicious occasion, you can taste the typical muscoli (mussels) from the Gulf Of Poets prepared in different ways by the chefs at Palmaria Restaurant, paired with the best local wines.
