I got the smoked sage marg and it was good, but the bar tender was SO unnecessarily rude.

Heard a lot of great things about this place and was excited to try. Walked in at 9:35 (listed as closes at 10) and was told last call happened and was not really welcomed. Won’t be back.

So disappointing. I'm a current guest at the hotel and was looking forward to treating myself to a nice margarita after my 11 hour drive.
The bar staff was preoccupied with a woman sitting at the bar that had been over-served and vomited all over the floor... at 4 pm on a Sunday.
I tried to give them another chance at around 9 pm and the bartender handled the ice for my drink with his bare hands and treated me like I was an imposition.
I really enjoy this hotel and hotel group otherwise. Unsure if I'll patronize these properties in the future.

Drinks are amazing. If you want a bartender that can do it all, Cable is your guy. Not only knowledgeable, but great customer service as well. You have earned a life long customer!!

I went into Secreto for the first time ever, I’ve lived in Santa Fe over ten years and I remember last I was there was before the pandemic and it was an old looking bar that seemed musty and dark. They remodeled sometime after, and now it was a very elegant and chic bar, filled with lovely people from all sorts of life. I arrived thirsty and famished after working a long day, excited to try their cocktails and new adjoining restaurant Wolf and Roadrunner. It was a Sunday afternoon and most of my favorite restaurants were closed, so I decided to settle in and treat myself. The bar staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the bar was set up like a fancy apothecary, filled with herbs, dried fruits and homemade syrups. I immediately felt at home. I had a shot of Lalo tequila, chilled and salted to begin the evening, as I sipped on this I also ordered a cocktail called Diablo which consists of tequila, lemon juice, and ginger syrup. Wow what a lovely choice from their many handcrafted cocktails to order from. The evening started wonderfully and My bartender Cable was friendly, informative, and attentive. I looked over the menu selection from Wolf and Roadrunner and decided to order the Prawns with Iberico Sausage accompanied by a side of Orzo Rissoto. When the Prawns came out I was ready to devour them, and I cut into the first morsel and discovered that there wasn’t much flavor to it, the Iberico sausage turned out to be some form of sliced pepperoni. I let it go deciding that perhaps my second prawn woul be better but unfortunately they turned out to be milly, like if they were old prawns, I didn’t want to fuss right off the bat so I ate the center parts, wondering if I might get sick from old prawns. I left most of the plate untouched. Then I was served the Orzo Risotto, which turned out to be a small bowl of creamy soup with Orzo in it. It was so soupy that I just couldn’t eat it, if I wanted soup I would have ordered soup. The bartender graciously took it away as I sent it back. I had a second round of drinks and I was still hungry because so far two items were a fail. I decided to order a third dish ( three times a charm) . I ordered the Naan and Lamb sausage dish. Meanwhile I was worried about getting sick from the Prawns so I asked the bartender for a shot apple cider vinegar. They brought out a side of Naan, and I asked them where is the rest of the dish, I was looked on with a perplexed looked from the friendly runner. Turns out that there is a side of Naan and the appetizer Naan and Lamb sausage, simple mistake, I’m pretty chill and enjoyed my cocktail while I waited for the rest of the order to arrive. The dish arrived shortly afterwards and it was a lamb patty surrounded by a green sauce that looked like a chimichurri sauce topped with pickled red onions. When I saw the patty on the plate, I had visions of going to Costco and buying hamburger patties , and yes by this time I was jaded. I tried the sauce first and all I could taste was tons of garlic. I absolutely love garlic but this sauce was so garlicky that it could have driven legions of vampires away, I smiled and continued. The homemade Naan was delicious for sure, light, fluffy and tasty. Now time to try the Lamb sausage patty. As I tried the first bite, my mouth was filled with an intense flavor of spices, so much that I couldn’t taste the lamb, I believe the primary seasoning was cumin, which intensely overpowered the lamb, all I could taste was seasoning. Okay maybe trying all the components together might make the dish taste better, so I got some Naan, a bit of lamb, and sauce and went for it. I might as well have had a heaping tablespoon of chopped garlic and spices and swallowed it with Naan bread. I just couldn’t, I didn’t want to fuss so I just asked for my check. I always have dessert but decided against it because I couldn’t handle a fourth fail. I boxed my lamb and sausage and paid for my bill. It was 81.00 dollars plus a 25 tip. They took the Orzo off. I decided to leave

Juancarlo is one of the best bartenders we’ve ever had! He’s attentive and you can tell he takes great pride in perfecting his craft. We came back just to have drinks made by him again before we left Santa Fe. The seasonal cocktails they currently have were adventurous and creative, don’t be afraid to branch out here — you will NOT be disappointed. We’ll be coming back next time we visit!

The Secreto Lounge oozes bad vibes.Went in with a group while cruising down the Margherita Trail. Of passing mention is the fact that their smoked sage Margherita was heavy on smoke and way light on tequila. Of much more note was the rude treatment we received. Both the bartender and the waitress made us feel unwanted, which of course dampened our festive Trail mood. To add insult to injury, they refused to give us the $1.00 Trail discount touted on the app. My advice is to skip this stop. Instead, cross the street and have a real cocktail at Tonic, where the staff is way friendlier and the drinks are righteous.

Excellent service and even better cocktails. Hannah the bartender is a gem! Perfectly crafted Negronis and a great attitude. We love sitting on the patio in front of the hotel. It’s so nice to have a fabulous cocktail and watch the parade of people walking by.

Such a vibe with amazing drinks! We got The Brooklyn and The Smoked Sage Margarita and they were both amazing! And our bartender Hannah was so great and helpful. The furniture is such a vibe and so comfy. We stayed at the St. Francis and I love that we could walked down from our room and come here.

Small bar located inside the Hotel St. Francis. It’s upscale but laid back and lit mostly by candle or Edison lighting in the evening. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. There’s a small outdoor patio to sit and people watch. I had the smoked sage margarita which I really enjoyed. The cocktails aren’t cheap but are in line with most drink prices in Santa Fe.
