Our Lounge

Santo Lounge is a real home from home, on a great little corner site in the heart of Shirley High Street. We have a few tables outside the front and lovely full-width windows that open right out, so we’re the perfect place for watching the world go by with a coffee, pint or cocktail!

We know what you’re thinking, and no, we didn’t name Santo after ‘ol Saint Nick, it’s in fact after Southampton Football Club, nicknamed The Saints. Sainto didn’t roll off the tongue as well, so we went with Santo, which is Spanish for holy.
