You will be able to choose some of the finest wines and sherries the world has to offer in an upbeat, rustic 1835 adobe where the walls tell stories of artists, poets, lovers, local history and beauty.

[Frommers] This original neighborhood bar of the Canyon Road artists' quarter (its name means "the lantern") is the place to head for local ambience. Its low ceilings and dark-brown walls are home to Santa Fe's largest and most unusual selection of tapas (bar snacks and appetizers). Jazz, swing, folk, and most notably, salsa and flamenco musicians (and dancers) -- some of national note -- perform most nights.

[IgoUgo] Located in the historic Canyon Road neighborhood, this dining mainstay was here long before the area became a popular haven for artists. The food, atmosphere and service all combine to make this one of the most attractive restaurants with people in the know. The menu is highly influenced by the Spanish, who settled the region over 400 years ago, specializing in tapas, paellas, seafood and fine Spanish wines. After dinner enjoy nightly live entertainment and take a spin on the dance floor.

[Santa Fe Reporter] This beloved Spanish restaurant on Canyon Road hosts folk, blues, singer-songwriters and, most notably, flamenco performances in the lively bar.

he El Farol experience combines classic tastes of Spain, Santa Fe and Mexico with a unique blend of art, dance, flavor and aroma.
