Review Summary

Clandestino is described as a beautifully hidden, intimate bar with a warm, inviting vibe and stylish lighting that makes it feel special from the first glance. The tequila and mezcal selections are praised as expansive and thoughtfully curated, with flights and tastings that reveal complex flavors and a wine-like complexity in some tequilas. The bartenders are repeatedly noted for knowledge, attentiveness, and a personal touch that elevates the experience, offering explanations and recommendations that enhance try-some flights and individual cocktails. The atmosphere mixes comfort with sophistication, featuring couch seating, a candlelit feel, and a cozy, low-key energy that supports conversation and a great night out. The drinks themselves are consistently highlighted as top-tier, with standout cocktails and mezcal-focused creations, and service is described as top-notch and friendly, keeping guests returning and recommending the spot. Several reviewers emphasize the overall vibe as a peak speakeasy experience in Montreal, a beautifully hidden gem with a great soundtrack, intimate setting, and an exceptional selection of tequilas and mezcals that appeals even to those new to the categories. Overall, Clandestino delivers a memorable, craft-focused evening with knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails, and an atmosphere that invites lingering and repeat visits.

Hidden cocktail bar, lots of sofa/lounge seating. Mezcal specialties, & I enjoyed my mango/passionfruit cocktail.
$4 coat check was deeply annoying. Music choice was not for me.

My friends from out of town & I really enjoyed this intimate speakeasy. All the drinks were good. My favorite was the colada with curry based horchata (sounds funny but sooo worth it). The bartender/owner was kind & easy to talk to. Music was also great.

After reading other's comments I had great expectations for their cocktails, it was ok, maybe there wasn't enough mezcal in them? Loved the ambiance especially at the beginning of the evening before the music gets loud.
