A full night at BAO'S in Little Venice, the bar packed, hands raised, the crew pouring

Little Venice, Mykonos

Sleep all day, party all night

A night bar on the water in Little Venice, running until 03:00. The doors open at 10:30, so breakfast, cocktails and the sunset come first.

Reserve a table The Rotonda Table

The place

Sunset, saxophone and celebration in the most iconic spot in Little Venice.

We sit on the water, behind the sea-facing windows, with the windmills across the bay and the waves close enough to hear. Named for George Bao, the pirate who defended this shore in 1770 from the small island you can still see through the window. The bar opens at 10:30 and runs until 03:00.

The film

One evening, from the water

The light going over Little Venice, the terrace filling, and the room after dark. Thirty seconds.

After Sunset Saxo Party, 20:30

When the sun goes, the saxophone starts

A live saxophone over the water, playing against the DJ as the last of the light leaves the bay. It is the moment the evening turns, and the reason a lot of people come back.

Day to night

The same room, three times of day

Move the light from afternoon, to sunset, to midnight.

The same walkway in sunset light, the lamps lit and warm colour across the white walls, the sea still visible in the doorway

The same walkway at night, lit by lanterns and candles, the doorway at the end a deep blue

Golden Hour Ritual

Front row, then the volume comes up

Tables at the water's edge under macramé parasols, the windmills across the bay, sea spray when the tide is high. Most places in Little Venice sell you the view. Here the music starts before the sun is down.
