Every bar has its moment in the spotlight. Our list of favourites from 2016 includes a neighbourhood jukebox joint in the 18th, a lowlit cocktail spot famed for its mezcal Negroni and a wine cellar where a good glass of red is balanced with rillettes. Spanning from punch bars to canalside havens, it's time to dive headfirst into the selection of our favourite watering holes. And find our best loved restaurant openings of the year here.
