I was in search of a good taste of Montreal nightlife and came across Santos-- a very cool lounge with a trendy, attractive crowd, great old school music and an all around fun vibe. This restaurant/ lounge is located a hop, skip and jump away from Le Petit Hotel-- my home base during a brief trip last month. It was a tad awkward being out alone, and the place was packed...but the bartenders were friendly and made me feel welcome as sipped my drink and took in the lively scene for a bit. There are ample chairs and seating upstairs that overlooked the main floor---ideal if you're just wanting to relax and talk. The drinks were overpriced, but I think most people were there to enjoy the music, take in a good vibe and celebrate the weekend.
