Cocktails pretty good & staff friendly, but music blared at an extortionate level to try compensate for the practically non-existent atmosphere.

Quoi dire du Clandestino. Cet établissement super cozy, avec un staff magifique & une liste de cocktail à faire rêver.

Ce qui était supposer être un petit verre rapide un lundi soir est rapidement devenu une tradition. Finir le travail & déguster un Calsa verde! On parle maintenant des lundi clandestino ou des'calsa Mondays'

Hands down the best cocktail bar ever. Mind officially baffled, taste buds permanently altered. Somehow every'quick drink' turns into an unforgettable night.

Big shoutout to the team for always bringing the best vibes, service, & cocktails! :)

Le Clandestino est clairement devenu mon speakeasy préféré à Montréal.
L'ambiance est incroyable : intime, élégante & authentique, avec une vraie identité autour du Mezcal & de la Tequila. On sent immédiatement la passion derrière chaque cocktail & chaque recommandation.

La sélection de mezcals est impressionnante, autant pour les amateurs que pour ceux qui veulent découvrir cet univers. Les cocktails sont travaillés, équilibrés & pleins de caractère. Mention spéciale à l'équipe qui connaît parfaitement ses produits & prend le temps de conseiller selon les goûts de chacun.

Un endroit rare avec une vraie personnalité, parfait pour passer une soirée dans une ambiance chaleureuse & différente des bars classiques. Une adresse incontournable pour tous les amateurs de spiritueux mexicains.
