Absolutely a must go when in Santa Fe. It's slightly off the downtown plaza area, so maybe it's slightly hidden? Worth the tiny bit of extra work. If you can snag a seat in the armchairs beside the real fireplace, consider yourself lucky. read more

The live music was amazing. We arrived at the hotel late and needed to grab a bite before bed. The atmosphere was great with the music and fireplace. Our service was excellent and when we stopped in a few days later our server recognized us. Highly recommend for some live entertainment and delicious snacks. read more

Go to for cocktails. Food has really fallen off. Burger dry and unseasoned. Caesar not a Caesar. Romain sodden in tasteless mystery oil with no Parmesan, eggs or flavor. Added salmon small, overcooked,, under seasoned and not passable.. No excuse at these prices. Good service read more

We came to Living Room for drinks after dinner. The bar is beautiful and you can order food here if you'd like. We were stuffed, so we stuck with drinks. The service is professional and attentive. There is a choice of seating, but we chose to sit by the fireplace since fall was in the air. The drinks were good. The bar is on the pricer side, which is typical Santa Fe. However, the bar is walking distance to so much and was an enjoyable time. This is definitely a good option if you are looking for a more intimate setting to relax. read more

Great piano bar feel!! Drinks are delicious and one of a kind. Not to mention that the building a classic Santa Fe ambience

The Living Room is located inside the beautiful "Inn & Spa at Loretto" in Santa Fe. It's a spacious eclectic large lounge and bar with a beautiful very well stocked bar and super down to earth helpful knowledgeable staff. The place was busy late afternoon, all types of people relaxing with a drink and or having food. They have a happy hour from 4-6pm which we opted for and the Menu was a delight. The local artwork of northern New Mexico along with the style of the hotel is displayed all over and a delight to look at. Don't miss this gem of a place. read more

It's cozy inside and there's a nice patio with a few tables. The drinks were good, the food was really good and our server was on it. Pricy. read more

This is a very comfortable place to get a drink and have a bite of food. The service was great. Since it is around the corner from the plaza, it doesn't get as packed as quickly as other places. Hidden gem. read more

Carolina & Arturo are always great to share time & energy with. They genuinely compliment the business, great atmosphere, & new pool well. 5+ star service. read more

I wanted to give this place a more positive review but I'm sorry this place is a total time suck. Why? Not only is everything super pricey, but the service is SOOOO SLOW. I stayed at the hotel for a couple of days recently with my family and to get a shot and a beer seriously took a half hour! They don't appear to be understaffed since there are plenty of folks behind the bar, but our server (the same man EVERY TIME ) was super slow. The food is not terrible but not fantastic either so I couldn't imagine why the prices were so inflated as well. Do not come to this place if you're super hungry, that's for sure---but if you have hours to spend not really doing anything and if you don't mind waiting and waiting for even a glass of water then this is the place to be. Sorry guys, but this joint needs a major facelift. read more

We are Santa Fe locals and have loved The Living Room because of its pleasant atmosphere and that they have welcomed well-behaved dogs for many years -- big space, bar, fireplace, drinks with snacks. Well, whether you are a dog owner or dog lover I have bad news. We went for happy hour yesterday, kind of a tradition, and were asked if our (perfectly behaved) dog is a service dog. What?? You have now changed your policy and are no longer welcoming dogs in The Living Room? Answer was, "Sorry, that's always been our policy." Well that isn't what's been operating for many years, at least 8+, so it's not actually true. So we will have to vote with our business and go elsewhere. There are other dog friendly restaurants and hotels in Santa Fe and we will spend money there. We are very sorry to see big city bureaucracy creep into our friendly, flexible, common-sense town. This kind of thing happens when someone "not in the room" makes a decision, hands it down, and puts both customers and "in room" employees in an unfriendly position. Sad. read more

Amazing all around. The bartender is super-competent, the room has a nice ambiance and the drinks are priced well. They even have Chopin! I would've liked to see wider selection of bourbons and ryes. The fireplace just calls for a more robust signature drink menu and better top shelf bourbon. read more

Excellent drinks served in a living room atmosphere. The Strawberry Margarita, $12, is part of the "Margarita Trail" of Santa Fe. Both my bartender and server Cristian were great. read more

The Living Room - Strawberry Jalapeno Margarita - Lounges Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We were so excited to try out happy hour at the Living Room. We were staying at the Hotel St. Francis and had enjoyed superb service and delicious drinks the night before at our hotel bar, Secreto. We raced through the sleet, getting splashed by cars on the way, to get to the beautiful bar, the Library, at the Loretto. When we got there, we were greeted cheerfully by the server. However, things went south very quickly. Our server knew next to nothing about some of the drinks we wanted to order. We didn't have a problem with that because I, too, had been a server in my youth, and I think it is important to allow for someone who is perhaps new at the job to get his bearings. We don't know if this was the case with this server, but you never know. Unfortunately, just about every drink we tried to order was rejected in the most bizarre way. First, I tried to order the chocolate martini, which I had been looking forward to all day, but the server sort of made a wincing sound when I mentioned it, saying that the bartender told him he doesn't like to work with chocolate, so do not bring him such orders. So, that was off the table. Then, when we asked, he didn't know what RTDs on the Happy Hour menu were. He didn't know what the well drinks on the menu consisted of and kept disappearing to ask the bartender questions and reappearing with increasingly astonishingly weird messages from the bartender--things like "he doesn't like to make anything with strawberries tonight" when my husband tried to order a drink that involved strawberries. So, my husband just settled for a cheap Chardonnay. But then we got to talking about how almost Twilight Zone this whole experience was and elected to leave. For such an upscale hotel, we were frankly shocked by this whole experience. We came right back to Secreto and were treated well by the server and bartender, as usual. read more

Beautiful spot in the loretto inn nice lounge area with many seating options from couches to high top tables to a bar area and outside seating if the weather is good. The ambience is really relaxed here with the lighting and the music they have. We made this our first stop in Santa fe and it was good choice. The menu is very complex with good craft cocktails to signature margaritas and a decent beer selection. Since it is Santa de I decided to try the green Chile gimlet and it sounds odd but it was good. The gin with the citrus lime and a small hint of hatch Chile it worked amd.i enjoyed my drink. My lady ordered a mezcal and rye o.f and it was boozy but flavorful. Good drinks at a candle lit lounge with a talented guitarist playing it made firts stop enjoyable for sure. read more

Nice room, but.... Our server was good (not very knowledgeable or confident, but she was trying). We got a club soda each, an old fashioned, and dessert. We were there kind of late, but there was no indication they were closing soon, and several groups were still around. At least one group came in after we did. The old fashioned was made with soda, which...eewww. I've encountered that before, rarely (seems like it's usually not the high-end places that do that). Other than that it was well-made, so I just coped. After our dessert arrived, that was basically the last we saw of anybody until the bartender dropped our check. I guess our server had already gone (with no last checkin). The bartender refused to refill the club sodas because the bar was shut down, which... okay? Maybe check in with people before you shut down the bar, then? Then the bill was kind of a shock. They upcharged the drink way over what the other drinks of that type were running (and AFTER they watered it down with soda!), and they charged us $3 each for the club sodas. Maybe I'm spoiled, but it seems like most places don't charge for club soda (we always try to tip like they are on the bill, though, since it can be extra work). Anyway, we won't be back. read more

Fantastic atmosphere, with a warm "living room" feel, fitting of its name. We enjoyed several drinks, the quesadillas and sliders trio, all good. Impressive quality for "bar food." Staff was friendly all around. Best time to go is during the weekends when they have live music and during happy hours. read more

Ordered two Old Fashioneds from Marcie. Received them and they were made with soda water, I didn't specify to the waiter but it was my understanding this was widely known cocktail recipe. Politely asked if the untouched drinks could be remade with just the rye, sugars, bitters and ice and was rudely told no and entered into a 10 minute argument about how the drink should be made. Ended as a standoff with Marcie refusing to remake the drinks and my girlfriend and I leaving. Thanks for a great night. read more

What a pleasant surprise after suffering a lousy experience ar Secreto at the St Francis. This place was elegant, classic, and beautiful. The service was friendly and skilled. The drinks were great . I especially liked the cleverly named "Smoking Nun". A breath of fresh air in an increasingly crass, loud, rude and unpleasant experience that the Santa Fe plaza has basically become. i look forward to trying the hotel as well next time I stay in SF read more

I was on the lookout for a good happy hour in town and let me tell you they're not easy to find! Happy hour is 5-6:30. This place had $5 cocktails and great half off food options. We had the nachos, fish taco trio and calamari. The food and drinks where on POINT! Service was attentive and very informative on what is best to order. Will be back every time we come into town to visit my parents. Lovely!!! Soooo lovely!!! If I was a local this would be my weekly hangout read more

The Living Room at the Loretto is a large, comfortable area for lounging by the fire with drinks; however, it was bit too hot in there for me this weekend with the combo of people, fireplace and HVAC heating. I enjoyed it a lot more this past May, late afternoons, during the weekdays, when it was very quiet and we had a nice view of the garden outside before the sunset. Good light food options and entertainment are available on the weekend evenings as well. read more

Atmosphere and live music was incredible, however the service was so horrendous that it ruined the experience for our group.
