Café Klandestino — Restaurant in Lisbon

Worst 2 drinks i have ever put in my mouth and i have been around a lot.. our drinks were served with them taking the last order at the same time.. turns out we had 20min to skull our disgusting drinks for 24€. In the end we were told off by two white dreadlock wearing bartenders that 20min are enough to drink our cocktails and that they see no problem in letting us order our drinks without letting us know when the bar closes..

No words. Pretentious place. Disgusting drinks. Awful service throughout.

Edit: answer to owners response

Firstly thanks for your response. Secondly we know what we ordered, we expected savoury drinks, still didn’t expect them to be disgusting. Furthermore the checking in didn’t happen, straight up a lie. Regarding the timing of your closure: you let us order and pay and then informed us about the closing times. I find it disturbing that you expect your customers to know your operating hours, why is you staff not able to communicate clearly with people when they walk in late. For future maybe care less about the extra money and be more customer focused.

Lastly my description of your employees is fair and accurate. Walking around with this kind of hair as a white person shows a lack of racial awareness as your problematic answer does too.

Kind regards. I hope your white fragility now considers this as...

There are bad things and good things about every bar, but I'm struggling really hard to come up with anything I dislike about Café Klandestino! It was an almost perfect experience.

The atmosphere and aesthetic is killer. Love the colour, boho-street style, the decor, the lighting. Top notch. There's a cool upstairs area if you wanna be a little more private but I recommend staying on the ground floor. You get the whole experience.

Both the bartenders are rad and welcoming af, and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. Big kudos to Flavia & Rafael. And who wouldn't in a place that has such a kickass signature menu. The idea of mashing up two disparate cocktails to create a new monster is dope and super creative. As a fan of so many of the ones listed, I was so curious to see how the bar modified them. Brilliant move. They were all amazing. Didn't have one I didn't like. I only wish my liver could have handled getting to try all of them in one night. Two of the best, in our opinions, were Da Killer and Fashion as Fu**.

Genuinely fun experience to pick a drink from the menu, mostly because I totally trust these folks to know what they're doing. And they did not break that trust.

They could up their bespoke game a little bit and this place would truly be perfection.

I cannot wait to be back in Lisboa again, just to return...

Definitely more a cocktail bar ++ with some wine also offered. Awesome place with very unique and interesting ingredients. They built their menu from the flavours of their favourite places around Lisbon and give you a menu that mentions the place the cocktails flavours are inspired by and the local foods that are available around there. They don't shy away from pushing the borders of "cocktail ingredients" and have come up with really interesting and tasty ingredients that add layers of flavor to their cocktails.

After tasting it I could tell they are very passionate about the flavors they create and after speaking to them I know for sure. They are super passionate about polushinng the boundaries of cocktails and bringing people rhe experience of their favourite areas of Lisbon in new and unexpected ways.

Really really cool concept, will be returning!

P.S. if you're looking at the photos of the menu, the numbers on the right of the list are not prices but page numbers. The average price for a cocktail is around 13 eur as far as i've...
