While there are more lists and accolades now than ever before, “The World’s Best” just has a certain ring to it - for both bars, and restaurants - that warrants attention. While you can find good cocktails in almost any city if you look hard enough, the Top 50 this year are heavily centered in London, New York, and Singapore with a solo shout-out to Lost Lake in Chicago (#50).
We’ve hit a few on the list and have to agree that they are great bars worth a special trip. The difficulty is keeping up with all of the new openings, which bartender has moved where, what the next cocktail trend is (are classics still having their moment?), and what’s worth the trip - even within your own city.
A few that we’ve hit that are worth seeking out:
#1 Dandelyan, London
#4 The NoMad New York
#15 Attaboy, New York
#16 The Dead Rabbit, New York
#46 Bar Swift, London
#50 Lost Lake, Chicago
