Clandestino

A lot of the people who go to Clandestino are kind of awful, but the very tall and handsome tattooed bartender makes the best dirty vodka martini I’ve ever had. I’ve been going there for that and for that I will continue to return.

Fun fun fun

It’s crazy coming here knowing these bartenders make some of the most money in Manhattan but none of them can make a proper cocktail. All that to say the vibes here are good. Just stick to canned/bottled beers.

if i could give this bar zero stars i would. in hindsight, we should’ve looked at the reviews before coming to see all the 1 star reviews this place has. the bar is extremely busy with two bartenders (not the issue) & my friend ordered drinks for us with one of the bartenders. when we finally got a seat at the bar (almost 20 minutes later) we didn’t know if our drinks were made so my friend asked the other bartender to make us drinks. first bartender (weirdo with a beanie) comes with our drinks and my friend tells him to cancel the other ones we just ordered… maybe that was a mistake because the way this beanie weirdo started berating my friend for “wasting alcohol” and talked down on her like she was a child was unprofessional and rude. when it came to pay OBVIOULSY we weren’t leaving a tip, the bartender came back after awhile and was complaining about not leaving a tip… he literally started arguing with us at the bar until my friend had to say “i’m done with this conversation”. anyways we were trying to finish our drinks and enjoy our company together and the SAME BARTENDER just takes our unfinished drinks off the bar and says, “no”. he gives us a refund and tells us to leave… what’s type of backwards service is this. if you want to enjoy drinks by man babies and certified mansplainers who are on a constant power trip, this is the place for you!

Really awful vibes. I will definitely be back.

Great on a hot day

I didn't eat, the drinks were pretty average but pricey. The ambience was nice, not a place for a large party of people.

En una de mis esquinas favoritas de lower East Side se encuentra el bar Clandestino. Una popular cantina con variados cócteles y buen ambiente. Alrededor de este bar hay varias galerías con exposiciones abiertas al público. En general es un espacio de artistas y gente que ama las artes visuales.
