Misuta Chow's

Johny Chow took inspiration for his namesake nightspot from his visits to Tokyo while on tour as bassist for heavy metal band Stone Sour, and sure enough, he's recreated an honest-to-goodness indoor yokocho in downtown Buffalo. So when you're in between games of pinball or Double Dragon at the arcade or after you've had your fill of Japanese noodle-shop and street-food fare, head over to the gargantuan first-floor bar where you'll find a menu of Asian-inspired cocktails, an ample range of sake, and beers on tap from Sapporo to PBR — or up the "Hello Kitty-themed staircase" to the private karaoke room on the second floor. There's truly nowhere else like this in Buffalo.
