ORIGINS OF SANTOS
All the streets in Old Montreal are named after saints. Located on the corner of Saint Paul and Saint François Xavier and given that the food served is Spanish, it was only natural to name place "Saints" in Spanish.

Bouncers wouldn't let us enter with reservations & asked my friend to give his credit card & purchase a bottle. Held his cc captive throughout the whole night but other than that the place is fun to just vibe.View more

Amazing staff in general. Very welcoming. Abraham crafted some of the best cocktails I've had in a long time & went above & beyond. Vibe was cool, great music, cozy but chic house music feel. Coming back every time I'm close by ❤️View more

Went there for the first time & the atmosphere was awesome. The deejays are top. Really awesome vibe. Nice people. I just felt uncomfortable with the bartender's attitude regarding the tip. I ordered two drinks, & was planning to order more drinks, so I didn't tip the first two. The bartender simply gave me another bill with the amount of the tip that he thought that I should've have paid. I would have preferred if he kindly explained to me that tips are mandatory. I would have paid & apologized with no problems. I don't like trouble. But his attitude & the audacity to put his own amount of tip just really made me angry, specially because he didn't even prepared my drink properly. The drinks had more ice than anything!!! & when I paid the way he looked at me like " that's what I thought bi*ch"....just made me not want to go back there again!View more

The attitudes of the waitresses completely kill the vibe. One in particular was dismissive & condescending towards my dad & he did nothing to warrant such treatment. The attitude of that waitress through the entire experience was so unbelievable it was funny. After having waited for 6 oysters to arrive for at least 45 minutes & having finished our drinks, we decided to just leave. The manager was really sweet though. He apologised & gave us a discount which we appreciated. It's not the end of the world but I just wouldn't recommend going here.View more

Had a beer & calamari early in the night at Santos. Quite a nice & chill place for drinks & tapas. The tapas is not as varied as you would normally see in a Spanish bar, & the prices are definitely on the upper range. The staff are kind & the whole vibe is comfy. Music is not bad. I'll have to visit more to get a better sense of this place at different times of the night.View more

Went for happy hour with some friends & all was ok until I found a blob of black mold floating in my water glass. I then realized the entire glass was filthy. I told the bartender who gave me another drink but by that point I was terrified to put my lips on anything. The happy hour prices weren't a good deal either. Overall this place has cool vibes but that dirty glass really put a damper on the entire experience.View more

via LibroThis is a great place with a great vibe. One point I would like to share. This is the second time where a reservation was made but we had issues getting in. The first time this past spring we were told that they were at capacity even though we made a reservation & turned us away at the door. We came back two other times that same evening with the same result. This time we made a reservation for 9 & called in advance to move it to 9:30, over the phone we got the reassurance that this would be not an issue at all. When we arrived we noted hesitation by the doorman who not only seemed unsure if we would be let in but also seemed like he didn't want to let us in. The bar was I would say at close to 3/4 capacity once we did get inside. I don't understand.
via LibroThe house music at first was kinda a vibe killer! But afterwards, 100000/10!! Love this place, always a staple when I have friends coming to the city!
via LibroHighly recommend. Nice late night vibe. Perfect for group night out. Calimari, quesadillas, empanadas 10/10. Friendly staff & fast service. Solid spot overall.
