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.

Our first visit at Clandestino was nothing short of stellar. There was clearly attention to service. We ordered a Mezcal flight, & we went on a tasting trip even if we weren't connoisseurs; the barman/owner came over & explained each Mezcal we tasted with enough detail to tickle our curiosity. Each of them were remarkable & it was such an amazing experience. I recommend 100%

This place came highly recommended to me, & did not disappoint! The atmosphere is incredibly lively yet sophisticated which can be challenging to find on a weekend out. There was a large variety of drinks to choose from, & they were strong, delicious, & fun to watch being served (I highly recommend the drink with burning sage in it!)

Upon walking in we were greeted by Yanick who was smiling & gave great service. As we walked down to the bar I met the bartender Thomas who was fantastic, answered all my questions & took time to make me a perfect cocktail. 11/10 would recommend & will definitely be back. Thanks Clandestino!
