Sake Bar Hagi

New York

$$$$

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

If the Japanese clientele is any indication, this tourist-free underground bar in Times Square is as close to an authentic Tokyo drinking den as you’ll get in Midtown, and perhaps all of Manhattan. The typical izakaya fare includes sake, shochu, and ice-cold Sapporos, plus small bites like chicken yakitori, deep-fried fish and meats, and an insanely popular cod roe pasta.
