Vast sake list, Japanese snacks, and a unique underground vibe
"A subterranean, long-running East Village sake bar marked by graffiti-tagged walls and a storied 30-plus-year history. The intimate space highlights a featured sake of the week, rotating flights of limited sakes, and an extensive selection available by glass, carafe, or bottle, catering to both regulars and newcomers seeking rare pours." - Shana Clarke
"Head down the stairs past a flashing “On Air” sign, and you’ll end up in a very dark, graffiti-covered den with a super long sake list. Tables fill up quickly here, so this place works better for you and one other person who you don’t mind yelling at for a few hours. (It gets pretty loud here.) They also offer a decent amount of food like takoyaki, shumai, and hamachi sashimi." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"Perfect For: Breaking The Boring Cocktail Grind || How many jalapeno margaritas and negronis can a person have?! Time for a change. Decibel is a little underground sake bar on 9th Street that's been around forever and has cave-like walls covered in graffiti. Share a bottle of sake, and pretend you're in Japan...or at least New York in a different decade." - hillary reinsberg
"Head down the stairs past that flashing “On Air” sign and you’ll end up in a graffiti-covered cave of sake. Tables fill up quickly here, so don’t come with a big group, but this is one of the coolest and most unusual rooms in the city." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"After sushi time, it’s sake time. Head down the stairs past the “On Air” sign and you’ll end up in one of the coolest bar rooms in the city. It feels like a speakeasy, only, you know, more chill." - katherine lewin
