9. Katana Kitten, New York
A cool kid cocktail bar combining Japanese and American sensibilities, Katana Kitten is decked out in Japanese movie posters of cult-favorite Hollywood films and kitschy pop-culture accents. The drink menu is sectioned off into highballs, signature cocktails, and boilermakers, but also features sake, wine, beer, and bites. It's an escape to what feels like a lively underground Tokyo izakaya.
