StEight(behind KUNIYA HAIR)

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.

My new favorite bar. It’s cozy and intimate. The bartender was knowledgeable about sake and set us up with a great sake flight. The cocktails were also delicious and well made. Definitely a gem.

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! I've only tried 3 of their cocktails but I'm convinced you cant go wrong! 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

A friend & I savored a delectable lychee cocktail (ever so slightly sweet) which was chilled to a perfect temp. The bartender went above & beyond to mix a customized cocktail order that wasn’t listed on their menu. Extremely ambient Vinyl record player that the bartender regularly switched Vinyls throughout the Friday evening. An unexpected number of tourists from Los Angeles ~ not at all the superficial type!

Lovely little spot with great ambiance. Drinks are delicious and very well thought out. Our bartender Zach was very welcoming and helpful, definitely would come back. Had a splendid time!

StEight was a sweet place with an intimate (⚠︎ Space is narrow and small) and home-y feel. The cocktails were nice and the components of each worked well together. The bartender was very knowledgable and attentive. Would love to visit again (Need to try the oolong punch that was unfortunately not available at the time!)

Great speakeasy if you're looking to grab a drink in a fun, cozy environment! The ambiance is awesome, eclectically decorated and clearly reminiscent of an old school Japanese coffeeshop or neighborhood bar. They've got a nice variety of sakes and the bartenders are happy to make suggestions if you're unsure what to order. I had the sake flight, which was great for getting an introduction to sake, and will have to come back to try some of their unique cocktails

Cute speakeasy sake bar. The matcha sake was extremely good Playing good records. It does get warm in there. It's in the back of the salon
