Secreto Lounge At St. Francis

This restaurant serves one of the best margaritas in Santa Fe. The house coin is a must-try. It's best enjoyed in the lobby by the fire if it's lit. Absolute perfection.

The restaurant is small and noisy. They frequently serve drinks that are too Smokey, resulting in a terrible smell and causing people to cough.

I went to a fascinating bar located in the Hotel St. Francis. Although I perused the specialty cocktail menu, nothing really caught my eye. It seemed to feature a lot of wine mixed with hard liquor...

The cocktails here were creative and delicious. The smell of smoke (from their smoked cocktails) may be too much for some, but I think it added to the vibe. The space is cozy and well decorated, keeping with the Santa Fe style. We will definitely be backnext time we are visiting.

Went in on a Sunday evening, decently populated. Bar was full, but most tables where empty and only 6 people on the patio, so steady but not busy by any metric. The sage they use for their signature cocktail is borderline overpowering. Sat down and wastotally ignored, after a long wait an elderly couple sat next to me. The server promptly took their order, then bypassed me andcleaned the table next to me, then went to the bar. She talked to another server then they both went up to the old couple to asktheir drink order again. I gave a very annoyed looked to the second server and she told the first one to help me. FINALLY, shecomes over and asked me what I wanted (no greeting, no menu, nothing). I ordered a cranberry juice and she was off. She cameback with the old couples drinks and then immediately bused a dirty table the couple asked for, and the promptly disappearedfrom the bar. I walked out, never even saw my cranberry juice.
