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 !!

Way too loud. I really pity the employees that work there. They will have permanent hearing loss after only a few hours of working there. This kind of loud ambiance should be illegal.

Je suis allée au Santos quelques fois dont 1 fois pour souper. C'est 5 étoiles pour l'ambiance & la musique, à chaque fois c'est un excellent party. Pour le service ça dépend; parfois le service est lent & insuffisant. C'est arrivé une fois que le maître d'hôtel soit impoli. 1 verre avec taxes & pourboire c'est ~20$, typique dans le vieux port. Le menu a plusieurs choix variés mais le prix est élevé.

Honestly, this bar is amazing. Max, one of the staff members, was very attentive & offered us fantastic recommendations for activities & places to visit in the city. Thanks to his suggestions, we enjoyed our stay to the fullest. The atmosphere of the bar is great, & the drinks are delicious. The food surprised me; it's of a really high standard! I will definitely return & recommend this place to my friends!

My beau & I popped into Santos for a drink after having dinner at a nearby restaurant. It was early, so it wasn't so busy when we arrived. We made ourselves at home at the bar where we were welcomed by the bartender, Max. We were there for more than an hour till it became too busy & conversation became a challenge. Max was lovely - charming, engaging & attentive. After a couple of drinks, I asked him to make me a mocktail that would soothe my sore throat. He created a concoction consisting of white cranberry, mint, cucumber, & soda that was delicious. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thank you, Max!
