StEight(behind KUNIYA HAIR)

Glad we got to check out the OG of the sake bar speakeasies. Steight is tucked away behind a hair salon and it is so beautiful once you step in. Love the vibe, the ambience and the service is just as good. The cocktails we had were perfect for a night cap and we would keep coming back to this place for everything it has to offer.

stEight has one of the best atmosphere in the city, and the drinks were incredibly delicious. i love the music choice and the decorations too. 10/10 experience, felt like a scene out of a film!!!

I discovered this place a year ago & it continues to be one of my favorite spots in NYC. Depending on the day of the week, it can be a cozy spot to chit chat with a friend or read a book to yourself while listening to an awesome handpicked record, or it can be a lively spot to either get your night out started or end it! Love the vibe, the drinks are all incredible and fun, and all the bartenders I've met are very knowledgeable on Sake, especially Zach!!! I haven't tried all the food yet but the Japanese sausages are awesome

Lovely Japanese bar serving some great cocktails with vinyl records playing and a very lively atmosphere-- easily became my favorite bar in the Lower East Side! Sake Flight: the bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and will cater to your preferences! We asked for something adventurous and he delivered with a flight with a good variety! Cocktail 5/5 Matchet Baker -- smooth and earthy genmaicha 5/5 Oolong Punch -- light and fruity 5/5 Chaos Belly -- citrusy on first sip and ends with a sweet blueberry flavor 5/5 Zack San 75 5/5 Lychee(less) Martini Caution-- it is a small ~12seat bar so there will be a wait for a seat if you come later in the night. Best suited for solo or date night!

One of my favorite recent spots for sure! Finding it is half the fun. It's a cozy and intimate space for fun Japanese-themed cocktails. Some favorites were the Sakura Smoke Old Fashioned and the Ma-Chet Baker. The staff is chill, super friendly and kind.

this is honestly one of my top bars ever.. the ambiance is perfect and the prices are very very reasonable for what you are getting. Ben was a GIFT and walked us through some amazing sake flights with his knowledge!! it’s a tiny bar with one bartender on a night so be patient and tip the hell of of em

Cozy hidden bar with just a handful of seats and a moody, vinyl-spinning vibe. The sake selection is the highlight for me. Bartenders are friendly and skilled. Nate is highly knowledgeable and makes great cocktails. Can be a wait as it fills up but the atmosphere makes it worth the wait.

Great drinks, great bartender (Nate knows his stuff), great atmosphere. What else can you ask for? Just get there early.
