Clandestino Cafe & Bar Llc

A lunatic sitting next to me went into a rage over our seats touching, called me the c-word, threw her drink at our table and threatened to ""throw me down"". When I calmly asked the bartender to please have this person removed for her violent actions and threats, I was told that she was ""a friend"" and nothing was done about it. This is the same bartender I had just generously tipped at the bar moments before. I guess you really are the company you keep, so I would avoid this place and their low class ""friends"" since they don't respect or value paying customers. I'm obviously not the only one that thinks so - see posts below. more

I can't believe I actually signed up to do this, as I never review online. Normally, good places I go back to, bad places I avoid. However, the lady behind the bar at this place (see review from other user) was so unprofessional and frankly insulting to our group of 10 (swearing, screaming and giving 'the finger') that I have to let people know that this is not somewhere I will ever visit again, nor any of my friends or theirs. I could go on, but just AVOID. Pros: None now Cons: Evil staff more

I went here with 8 friends 2 weeks ago, one staff member was so unjustifiably and shockingly rude to a friend of mine that we all walked out (we are normal, reasonable people). \r \r I will never go back. Cons: Rude Staff more

I'm part of a weekly Wednesday drinking group of 30 or so regulars who love to drink, geek out, talk and eat after work. We check out a different bar each week. We've been kicking around the city for 12 years. In that time we've visited several hundred bars (with repeats of faves). I'm a Francophile. I love Paris, the food, the people, the wine, the culture, the joie de vivre. Clandestino is a little slice of Paris exported to a small property on the edge of Chinatown. The owner of the restaurant, an expressive lady with guts and gusto, was seated at the bar one night. I'm glad I had the opportunity to thank her over and over again for a fabulous bar/bistro experience. This place is on the small size, but it's huge in character and good times. Pros: Understated Atmosphere, Stylish and Simply Good Cons: On the Small Size more

Friendly bartenders, comfortable space, quaintly decorated, great drink selection, perfect appetizer list. I love this bar. Pros: Service, drinks, small food menu choice, outdoor space... Cons: Friday nights can get too crowded, does not open until 7pm. more

This place popped up on Canal not too long ago. It almost feels like they're holding the space for something more grand planned for down the road. Everything, from the decor to liquor selection seems like it's very temporary. The bartenders seem very inexperienced, so order simple drinks. I am curious what is planned for this space, but for now it's just a spot to get a quick drink on your way somewhere else. more
