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 !
