The 2024 edition of The World’s 50 Best Bars 51-100 list has been announced, featuring some of the globe’s most celebrated tipple talents
As an annual tradition in the lead-up to the crowning of the globe’s top bars, The World’s 50 Best Bars consistently announces the establishments that have earned spots on its 51-100 list. The World’s 50 Best Bars continually brings together the luminaries of international bar scenes, curating lists that span continents.
This year’s ceremony will move celebrations from Singapore to Madrid—a city known for its vibrant nightlife, cocktail scene, and food culture—on October 22, 2024. Its 51-100 list comes just months after Hong Kong’s Bar Leone was crowned The Best Bar in Asia.
