Clandestino

A wonderful place. Great camaraderie between imbibers and servers alike. A darker, cozier and slightly smaller place but it's off the busy path and ready to serve a good drink at a good price.

appropriate name - you could easily walk right by this place. step inside and you'll find a comfortable bar atmosphere (especially compared to the typical LES scene)

Love this spot. No frills. The cocktails are good. Great place to meet up with someone for drinks before or after dinner in the area.

Laid-back vibe, Guinness well poured, and finely reasoned cocktails . What's not to love? A Pimms cup ? Why not? Unless local galleries are toasting an after party, it is never, ever overly crowded .

Perfect for starting the night in a relaxed atmosphere ... If you are a chill person like myself, you won't want to leave!

Great local bar . Upscale coctails without the hipster bartender

Great little spot--perfect for a hideaway date. Small, dimly lit, doesnt get packed on a weekday, and good drinks.

Great neighborhood place . Chill music , good beer , nice patio out back, and always a few open seats

Super chill bar , with music playing at the right level for a conversation

Nice chill ambiance but the bartender was clueless and didn't know how to make the easiest of drinks

Such a hidden gem . Great music , great bartenders , great crowd.

Clandestino has good service , good cocktails , and a nice window from which to spy on neighborhood doings.

Quiet , lovely date spot . Not much variety on drinks, so plan on something standard.

A very chill ambience . Good date spot .

The bartenders are super honest and really nice.

Great for a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Female bartender nicer than the male one. (Having to pour your own $10 Duvel is odd.)

Neighborhood bar . Usually always open until 4am. Pets welcome :)

Bruno is the bomb. You're in great hands here.

I enjoyed their non-alcoholic beers

Eastside cocktail made by the beautiful Sarah is worth the trip!

Clandestino is a dark, comfortable bar . Pre- or post-dinner, it’ll do.

Order something off the cocktail menu . Like Milk & Honey minus the pretentiousness and actual milk and honey .

Low key , warm atmosphere. Strong but reasonably prices drinks. Nice bartenders .

Great vibes. Perfect for an early pregame

Cool small bar where you can talk and where the bartenders are friendly .

Delicious cocktails , friendly bartender , snack menu and a back room for smokers - a very pleasant atmosphere .

David makes a great Black Manhattan

Good place for drinks and conversation

Date spot . Forever and Always.

Sweet music and chill wavessss

The bar where writer Gary Shteyngart grew up.

No kitchen here but order take out from massive folder of menus.

Order the Pimm 's Cup.

Zacaba Rum - Do a shot of it

Chill place on the LES. Check it out to avoid the B&T

It's Locals Night every night here.
