Review Summary

Overall, Santos Tapas Bar is described as a lively, welcoming spot where the vibe, food, and drinks are frequently praised, with a warm, attentive service noted by many and a vibrant atmosphere that can shift from dinner to a nightclub after hours. The menu is highlighted for flavorful dishes and inventive cocktails, while some reviews mention slow or inconsistent service at peak times and portions that some feel are small for the prices. Across the board, guests appreciate the energy, the music, and the sense of value when it works, and many say they would return to enjoy the experience again.

Lo que no me gusta es en la entrada, te quedas esperando la cola y al final viene alguien que conocen y lo dejan entrar.

Drinks were delicious but sadly the service was not the best. Not very friendly & we waited forever to order a drink (the bar wasnt even that busy).

We found this place while wandering around Old Montreal. Saw the sign for happy hour & found out they were 2 for 1. The bartender was very friendly & gave us great service. We ordered th Calamari, & it took a very long time to get it. The bartender apologized & gave us 2 shooters on the house. While the Calamari was not the greatest, we still enjoyed it. We are going back for the happy hour.

What a great find. Nice atmosphere, excellent food at reasonable prices, & their happy hour is two for one, where one drink alone is at a reasonable price. Their IPA on draft was excellent: L-Apocalypso. Happy hour includes beer, wine, & mixed drinks. They have vegetarian options. Try them!

Cette place ont toujours de très bonnes chansons! PARCONTRE!!! On est en sueur après quelques minutes. Il y a des " air clim " mais on ne sent AUCUNEMENT leurs fonctionnement. Laisser une porte ouverte aurait pu faire une différence!

Excellent food, drinks & service, I can say unequivocally that this establishment throws it down like none other, water & booze is flowing like the Nile, olive dish has a nice kick to it, I've never left a google review so that says a lot, as an E list celebrity I give my full endorsement to Santos & Co, bring youry wives & husbands, your sons & daughters, I drank a lot of beer & things are looking up. Big shout out to Natalia, Diane, & Valantine.
