These are the 50 best bars in the world

When at home, we all have our favorite bar we tend to visit at least once a week. A place where the bartender knows our face, our friends and our go-to drink. Especially since the outbreak of Covid-19, we’ve become even more aware of the privilege which spending a night out with friends represents. Now, we tend to grab every opportunity to go to that local bar and spend some quality time with them, all while supporting local businesses – not only the bar but maybe also a small brewery or soft drink label. It’s all in the details.

Yet when away from home, where do you go for a drink? Let’s be honest, some bars can get a bit shady and you don’t want to take any risks, especially in an environment you’re not familiar with. Research is therefore very important yet with all the information out there, it can get quite difficult to make a choice.

Luckily for you and us, The World’s 50 Best Bars shares a ranking of – surprise – the 50 best bars in the world every single year. The organization’s part of William Reed Business Media and the voting is done by The World’s 50 Best Bars Academy, which comprises about 600 experts from the drink industry. Their selection can include every single bar in the entire world which is very practical for those who tend to travel very internationally. So without any further ado, we present to you: the world’s best bars.
