clandestina mezcalería & tequila

Kevin M 2 years ago

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!

Give this place a look! It is excellent service, excellent tequila, excellent atmosphere, excellent patio and excellent food. Kerry was our main server slash tequila/mezcal expert and she was amazing. The other service staff came to our table for various food/drink deliveries and they were friendly and attentive as well. We arrived early on a Saturday (5:30ish) and the dinner /game crowd shuffled in soon after. There were plenty of seats and plenty of staff. We had an amazing time!! They even let us go down into the Smoke and Mirrors Bar in the basement that becomes a dance floor at 1000. If you like tequila and mezcal they have a lot of very unique selections that are hard to find! They have an amazing elevated/roof patio out back as well that connects to the Nano Brewery. We’ll be back!!!

Very cool atmosphere. Loved the vibe. Server/bartender was very friendly and attentive. I liked my drink a lot. Cocktails are around $17. The food was very disappointing tho. The tamales tasted ok. I'm glad they were only $8. The mole was delicious but I wish they gave you more since the tamale lacked flavor on its own. I also got SICK that night from the food!!! EEEK that's a no... The brisket nachos were $19 and not worth it at all! Barely any brisket on it and what was on it was very fatty. Also, beer cheese? Why not cotija or something actually Mexican? Might come back for drinks again but NEVER ever for food.

We love this beautiful, unique Ohio City experience, do not miss this gem! The cocktails are works of art and the food is delicious. Kerry, who created and prepared our cocktails is so knowledgeable about her craft and truly added to our experience. Celebrating our anniversary in style!

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.
