clandestina mezcalería & tequila

A super sexy "dive bar", with amazing cocktails, an extensive tequila/mezcal list and terrific bar bites. Great place for private events and large groups!

Clandestina probably has some of the best cocktails in Cleveland. The atmosphere is perfect with low lighting, subtle music, and a low noise level. Perfect for a nice evening out.

Nice little spot, bartender was very friendly and service was great.

Awesome addition to Ohio City W25th street. I would consider it more of a bar than a restaurant, but the food was delicious too. The coctail menu features many tequila/mezcal drinks as well as some other standard drinks. On the tequila drinks...you can decide between tequila or mezcal. My favorite was Libation of the Beasts...sweet with heat drink. Service and bartenders were great. The food was also delicious. The menu is somewhat limited, but packs a flavor punch. I had the Oaxaca chicken burrito and the pork Verde tamales with mole Negra. Both were excellent. I would buy a jar of that mole. Atmosphere was cool. Lots of bar seating, some tables, and a patio in front and back. There is also a club in the basement. I will definitely be back!

The options on mole sauces (I had the negroni) are brilliant. My drink was excellent and I can't wait to come back. Service was totally excellent and there was someone there making cocktails like a scientist discovering a cure for cancer.
