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.

Notre visite au Clandestino était imprévue mais tres impressionnante. Nous ne connaissions aucunement le bar, mais nous avons été surpris de voir que c'est un bar caché! L'ambiance superbe, un petit bar tranquille avec pratiquement toute les sortes de tequila & de mezcal! Le barman Will nous a vraiment impressionné avec toutes ses connaissances & les faits intéressants sur le mezcal. Les cocktails sont originaux, délicieux & très bien décorés. Certainement pas notre dernière visite!

Service accueillant mais pas professionnel. J'ai demandé conseil pour un cocktail mezcal épicé & fort, j'ai eu quelque chose de très doux, tellement décevant pour un verre à 20$. J'ai commandé un 2e cocktail, il a jamais été servi. Je suis parti. Un beau speakeasy mais très bruyant comme une night-club. Je ne reviendrai pas

Service was very kind, decoration & ambiance amazing, really disconnects from the real world. The drinks were great & they have some tequila & mezcal you cannot find anywhere else.
