For the third year running, Asia’s 50 Best Bars has revealed its extended 51 to 100 list, which includes bars spanning 22 different cities across Asia. This year, Singapore led the list with eight bars on the list, followed by Hong Kong with five bars.
American dive bar The Pontiac, co-founded by Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2023 Best Bartender Beckaly Franks, ranked the highest for Hong Kong at number 53, while Japanese whisky bar Mizunara: The Library fell to number 86 from its previous ranking at 71 last year. Other bars that also made it onto this year's list include hidden cocktail bar The Wise King (number 89), tea-focused bar Tell Camellia (number 97), and American restobar Honky Tonks Tavern (number 98).
The 51 to 100 ranking is created from the overall Asia’s 50 Best Bars voting process, which sees its Academy of 260 members – made up from industry professionals, drinks writers, and cocktails aficionados – cast anonymous votes for their seven best bar experiences over the course of 18 months.
The eighth edition of Asia’s 50 Best Bars will be announced at a live awards ceremony held at Rosewood Hong Kong in Hong Kong on 18 July 2023. Additionally, the live countdown will also be streamed on The World’s 50 Best Bars Facebook and 50 Best Bars TV YouTube Channel.
