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!

I have been here many times & always enjoyed it. My most recent visit was a big disappointment. Poor quality drinks at new high prices. Poor quality DJ, & a "closed" balcony that some how opened after a staff member asked us to move...

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

Santos is an institution in Montreal, & for good reason! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth & nostalgia. The atmosphere is vibrant, & the staff make you feel like family. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, Santos never disappoints.

Service was mediocre. The bus boy had to alert the waitresses that we were trying to get their attention. The plate to share at 65$ is basically a single meat cut & could easily be 35-40$ & this price is still generous.

Ambiancé à tous les soirs, on s'y trompe jamais ! La nourriture est fuego, l'alcool caliente ! Clairement un des beaux spots festifs du vieux port ! Pour les gênées qui osent pas lui demander : W.U.Mean sur IG, she the top barmaid. & Morgan... Morgan une perle ! Thanks guys for everything !

Nous y sommes allés pour un ladies night un mardi soir (le 14 mai 2024) nous voulions profiter du menu 40$ alcool à volonté lorsqu'on se présente on remarque que malgré le menu en ligne avec option végé ils les ont retiré du menu donc pas d'options vege/ vegan (pourquoi?) OK pas de problème on va faire avec mais après avoir commander nous devons attendre jusqu'à 25 minutes pour recevoir un verre de vin maison (est-elle partie la chercher à sa maison?!) Nous nous disons c'est un ladies night ça doit être normal mais non en fait le restaurant est presque vide malgré la musique mais sans crainte les serveuses aiment papoter le vin n'est pas si loin finalement pour vrai opportunité manqué & la seule bonne nouvelle est qu'ils sont un abonnement costco pour les tartares de thon donc au moins ils auront retour sur achat sauver votre aller vous même acheter votre thon & litre de vin au Costco
