Reviews of Santos Tapas Bar describe a vibrant Old Port venue that blends a chic, energetic dining scene with a late night club atmosphere, where the music, decor and overall vibe create memorable evenings for many guests. The menu is praised for fresh, tasty tapas and seafood and cocktails that are flavorful and well balanced, with the bar staff often noted for guiding guests through the menu and delivering well crafted drinks. At the same time several accounts highlight uneven service and long waits, especially for drinks or the bill, along with moments of disorganization, crowded seating and delays during peak hours. While the atmosphere and social energy are frequently celebrated, some diners feel portions are small or prices high relative to what is served. Safety and security concerns appear in a few reviews, including experiences with entry lines and bouncers that left some guests feeling uncomfortable, and a few comments about not feeling completely welcome. Overall Santos Tapas Bar emerges as a place that can offer excellent drinks, lively nights and high energy, but improvements in service consistency, seating logistics and safety would help ensure a standout experience for every guest.

What an experience!!!! Fantastic food, phenomenal service, great music, awesome atmosphere. After 11h30 they remove the chairs & it becomes a dance hall. Its not cheap but it's not expensive either. Waffles Empanadas Nachos Fish Fries Wine Beers Rhum Wiskey Amaretto

My go-to spot in the Old Port. The food is always delicious, the drinks are great, & the staff is genuinely amazing. Perfect place for a girls night out, every time! Awesome vibes if you want to stick around & dance after dinner.

Always packed! Been there a couple of times & the djays are usually really good & read the room well. Only criticism would be the weird layout of tables in the middle of the club, it always leads to tension & people pushing each other. Just put them upstairs & leave the dance floor clear for us to dance My place of choice if I want to have a good time I recommend it !!

Great place to dance at night. Great Dj & vibe. Service at the bar was slow, could do with one or 2 more servers but otherwise really great!

We've been on a Saturday night (girls night out) - only for the club. The music the ppl the ambiance is super nice ! I do suggest to come either early like 10-10:30 pm or.. 1 am.. otherwise a lot of ppl .. the restaurant / lounge is not that big, so the capacity can be reach out pretty quickly I do recommend to go there to dance ☺️ - very nice bouncers

Service was great but food wasn't on par. Chewy calamari, over cooked shrimp & almost all dishes needed seasoning. Our waitress was fantastic. I would recommend Santos as a drink & dance destination only

Why open a bar with good music if we are not allowed to dance ?! Should be mentionned before reservations are made.. you spend hundreds of dollars but are not treated accordingly !
