In the run-up to its formal awards ceremony in London on December 7, The World's 50 Best Bars has unveiled its extended list of bars ranked 51 to 100, with two Hong Kong bars featuring in this section. These are Penicillin and Argo, both relatively new bars that are making their debut on the list at 59th and 72nd places respectively. Penicillin and Argo have had an outsized influence on the local and regional bar scenes in their few months of operation, with Penicillin being awarded the Ketel One Sustainable Bar Award by Asia's 50 Best Bars 2021 earlier this May.
Asian bars had a respectable showing on this year's 51-100 list, taking up 13 places. The highest placed was Kuala Lumpur's Bar Trigona at 52nd, while other bars that may be familiar to the itinerant drinker include Tropic City in Bangkok (62nd), 28 Hongkong Street in Singapore (71st), and Hope & Sesame in nearby Guangzhou (94th).
