Rather than relying on a single ranking, we combined 6 respected international bar lists and editorial sources to create one comprehensive, curated selection. The sources included Top 500 Bars , Time Out’s Best Bars in the World’s Best Cities , The World’s 50 Best Bars , and Asia’s, Europe’s & North America’s 50 Best Bars , covering both the top 1–50 and 51–100 selections.
By bringing these lists together, we were able to identify bars that consistently stand out across different rankings, cities, regions, and judging methodologies. We then cross-referenced and curated the results into one final list, reducing duplication while preserving the strongest and most relevant venues.
The result is not simply a combination of rankings, but a curated selection designed to capture the best bars across the globe.
