Clandestino - Cocktail Social Club

Such a swanky speakeasy. Drinks were great. Wish they had more drink options though. But the vibes here are super nice. Good for first date impressions for sure

Absolutely love this place! The vibe at Clandestino is unmatched! intimate, stylish, and full of good energy. The drinks and absolutely exquisite. Every cocktail is crafted to perfection. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Chicago for a fun night out. Highly recommend! 🍸✨

So please believe me when i tell you this is a piña colada and one of the best I've ever had!! So light and thoughfully put together- all the fun of the beach without the heaviness on the tummy 😍 All in all, really enjoyed Clandestino! I came down after having dinner with my family at Matilda. I was so impressed! The entire staff was very friendly and kind. I came down sola and they were quick to be friendly and help find something I liked. I had some great conversations with these lovely people. This place had a really intimate, delicious vibe. I recommend it to chill with friends/ date night or for a night cap! Cheers!

love this place! it is spacious for a speakeasy, staff is super nice, has places to sit but also stand, cocktails are great, and the vibe is 10/10! will be going again soon.

Honestly one of the coolest spots I’ve been to in Chicago. Clandestino feels super hidden and exclusive, but not in a pretentious way. The cocktails are next level, perfect too chill, upscale night out. Definitely coming back.

First of all, plantain tacos. Don’t second guess. Second, the Clandestino bar is the most welcoming place I have ever been in this area of Chicago. Sure, you may have to take your hat off (get over it) but the drinks are as close to cutting edge as they get. Look up the ingredients of the Bijou and them re-read. 20/10

Clandestino is an absolute gem. The concept is intimate, stylish, and immersive, making it feel like a true hidden experience. The service was top-tier, and our server, Franco, went above and beyond to make the night unforgettable. His recommendations were spot on, and the Old Fashioned he made might just be the best I’ve ever had. You can tell there’s real craftsmanship behind every cocktail. I’m definitely coming back to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Really fun underground space with great $12 cocktails and music!

Ahh! This used to be Marchesa, remember that! This is part of the Exodo group, which is behind Matilda, Ayayay and Kayao. I had the Be Mine Tangerine cocktail. The staff and service are terrific.

It's far from a speakeasy. It's just a lame bar in the basement of a restaurant. What's even worse is that it's in River North, you know the area where the shooting just happened. Save your time and money and just skip this dead area of Chicago. You're better off going to Fulton Market. It's safer nicer and oddly less pretentious than this bar.

Incredible drinks and a very cool ambiance at this bar which reminded me of a blend between a modern Latin and European speakeasy. Highly recommend!
