Great little hidden cocktail bar. We came across this spot & decided to stop in for a drink. We sat up at the bar & Shelby was our bartender, he was extremely knowledgeable & friendly. He gave us the idea to do a tequila tasting which we opted for. Shelby put together a tasting flight with different citruses, salts & even crickets that go well with the tequilas. We had an amazing experience & will for sure return when we are back in Montreal.

Had the best spicy margarita of all time here. Talk with the doorman, go behind a painting & down some stairs to this bar with amazing cocktails & allegedly the largest offering of mezcals in Canada. Hope to come back someday for a mezcal flight!

During our research os speakeasy's in Montréal, Clandestino popped up.Gee,a tequila bar, it's automatically on the list.

Night 1was Monday. Found some comfy seating & let's look at the menu. Shelby came over & walked us through it, explaining it in detail & answering all our questions. We choose a Cocolada, Passion Amarga & Maestro. They looked amazing & tasted even better. Next round we up'd his expertise. Wanted a sipping extra anejo & Blanco. He brought over 3 of each. He talked about them & let us sniff them. The Blanco's we have had before so he brought over another one - Fortaleza Still Strength. Never heard of it, let's give it a try. My friend got the EA & me the Blanco. Both were excellent!! We got another round just to make sure we really liked them - & we did.

Night 2 was Thursday & got there after 11. Placed was packed but service was spot on. Got 2 seats & a Passion Amarga & a Vaso Caliente. The Vaso is a marg but no marg I have ever had. Refreshing, light & smooth. Shelby recognized us ftom Monday & welcomed back. Only 1 drink tonight.

Night 3 (YES it is that good!) was Saturday night. Sat at the bar (only 5 seats) & got our regular order. Got the drinks & William came over to check on us. I said'3rd time is just as good as the other 2'. He gave a big smile & welcomed us back. Next to me with his back to us was Shelby. With our next round, William offered some suggestions & Shelby jumped in. I love hearing why people love a brand & they LOVE tequila. Next round I tried the Cafe Borracho which has beets in it - say what?? Another fantastic work of art. William talked about their method of making their marg mix using centrifuging & chemistry to make it crystal clear & have a clean, bright taste. My mind is blown, incredible. Wish I could get some at my house.

Such a GREAT experience with Shelby & William. You have fans in CT & will.pass on your place to our friends. We rarely visit a place more than once on vacation but this place is special.

A beautifully hidden gem!
I was excited to try this speakeasy bar, & it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was unique & intimate, making it a perfect spot for a special night out.
The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable & offered thoughtful recommendations. While I don't have much experience with tequila or mezcal, I genuinely enjoyed trying their curated selections-it was a great introduction to both. I'd definitely come back!
