"Trevlig sakebar i en källare i East Village. Blir snabbt fullt då folk hänger på låset. Prisvärt för både mat och dryck, särskilt vid öppning (happy hour)."

"Awesome Japanese bar, downstairs. Very EV"

@ibaker11

"Très bon restaurant japonais en demi sous-sol dans une déco atypique (façon "Piss alley" de Tokyo). Excellent unagi-don et bonne sélection de sake (litchi-martini, un regal). Lieu assez bruyant et prisé, preferer y aller à 2-4 personnes."

" - very cool sake bar feels like you’re in Japan. Reservation not always needed but helpful, they have small bits too"

@hanna.rochereau

"Sake cocktail bar hidden. Super cool underground cocktail bar with cheap food too. Drinks were cheap 10 but not that strong. Cool vibe with fun people "

@sophielewis763

"They’ve got a great selection of sake and all the food is delicious. It’s definitely vibey in the best way possible. To enter, you walk down some stairs and past a curtain into tight space. The furniture is all wooden and there’s “graffiti” covering the walls of this dark, intimate spot. Exactly the kinda place you want when you go downtown. "

"Decibel describes itself as a "hidden subterranean little Tokyo," where once you step through its door, you no longer feel like you're in NYC. And it's a pretty accurate description. You won’t get much in the way of guidance from the staff while you're there. Look to your neighbors for suggestions—we like the smooth, dry urakasumi paired with snacks like pickled squid and rice crackers. And while the sexy underground bar takes you out of time and place, it still offers that East Village grunge we all love. When it opens, look for it under an "On Air" sign and go down the staircase."

@gianna.carvalho

"Parce que parfois, on veut être seul, dans un bar a saké souterrain, à grignoter des tapas jap. Dans ce cas, Décibel est là pour toi."

@juliegangstr

"Awesome spot. Reminds me of Japan more then anything else in the us I think"

@blakesbites

"Sake bar since 1993. Whisky highball. Lychee martini pitcher. Good bar snacks"

"New York City is like a multilevel version of Being John Malkovich, with a plenitude of portals that will whoosh you off to a different place and time in a matter of seconds. You may start in the East Village, but if you descend the basement stairs into Decibel when the little red sign on Ninth Street is lit up with the words ON AIR, you will find yourself in the Shimokitazawa district of Tokyo. Decibel is dungeon-dark and has been devoted to sake for more than a quarter century. The music is loud and the tables are small. Whether your sake loyalties lie with honjozo or “I don’t know,” Decibel offers you a chance to remedy your fermented-rice ignorance or deepen your expertise. There are seasonal rhythms to sake, so have a conversation with your server about what suits the moment. 240 East Ninth Street —J. G."
