About Santos Bar

Nestled at 1135 Decatur St in the heart of the French Quarter, Santos Bar is a small, intimate live music venue with a multi-floor layout that keeps the energy high and the crowd close. With a main floor stage and an upstairs balcony, this 300-person venue offers a flexible setup and a close-up concert experience that locals and visitors love. The building has a rich history, having housed several venues over the years, including former names like Rubyfruit Jungle, and Santos Bar is the current, active occupant as of February 2026.

Whether you’re catching a Creepyfest set, a dark disco night, or one of the many 80s/alternative-NOLA evenings, Santos Bar delivers character, rhythm, and a night to remember without the fuss. We’ve got you covered with practical details for planning your night—from seating realities to nearby hotels and easy ways to get around.

Plan ahead to secure your seats or standing room at Santos Bar. The venue operates in a way that suits the intimate vibe: standing room on the main floor with a backstage area and an upstairs balcony for a different perspective.
