Very cool atmosphere, reminds me of alley bars in Japan. In addition to lots of sake, Decibel is one of the few places I've found with pickledgarlic! They're at the bottom of the small stairwell.
Best underground sake place to feel like you're in a place that's the love child of a shire and an izakaya. People watch, sip, get cozy in precious tiny wooden chairs and keep on sipping.

On the outside looks pretty fancy. On the inside you are transported to a Tokyo-like dungeon yokocho with lots of sake options, squished seating and humidity. Great experience.
They have an extensive selection of sake from the Rihaku to the Kikusui. Just as popular is the yummy lineup of appetizers, one can’t go wrong with the Shrimp Dumplings or Japanese Pancakes.
A extensa carta de sakes e saborosos pratos já valem a visita. O clima underground com paredes pichadas e funcionamento no porão dão um charme especial. Vai até às 3h: boa opção para terminar a noite.
If there is a long waiting list to be seated in the main room, ask to be seated at the bar. There is a wonderful corner nook where both hours and lashings of sake mysteriously disappear.
tako wasa, huge sake menu, kurobuta sausage amazing, bonito, dashi tofu, ギンガコゲン, writing on the walls, occasional uncultured ignorant tourists wandering in. get drunk and snack here
If you're a sake novice like myself and don't feel like embarrassing yourself by trying to order something you know nothing about, go for the lychee martini. They're beyond delicious.
A dark, underground sakecave with cool bartenders. Get the Hakkaisan Honjozo neat - pricey, but you certainly won't regret it. If you get the munchies, go for salmon or mentaiko chazuke.
Loved this place. Perfect for a date, cool conversation and to try a few sakes. Will come back again, but next time will drink more water since the sakes are strong.
If you like Sake you'll love this joint. Dark, crowded, small, but friendly staff, good music and lots of sake. Come here with a date or a couple of friends & try a bunch of different kinds.
Good to see my old cool out, down low, underground spot is still going strong after about 12 years. Sake selection is crazy and udonnoodles is dope as well. Been a minute but ill be back. Count on it
This is my favorite izakaya in NYC. A little bit noisy and dark, but lots of variety of sake. I recommend Nigori if you are tired of regular sake, particularly "Nebuta Genshu"
You can write on the walls!!! Try to get there before 11:30. It looks tiny but there's another underground seating area but there's a line. I had to read about sake before I could order.
Cozy little underground sake bar. As expected, they have a large selection of all different types of sake. There's usually a wait and the tables can be cramped.
A downtown secret, walk past the stairs heading down and you could very well miss it! Awesome sake list but be prepared to wait on the weekend this place is small and gets quite crowded
Really chill vibes to just hang out with friends. Waitstaff seems to know the drink selection well. The sake we got was pretty killer. $8/person minimum
