The World’s 50 Best Bars unveils 2025 list in Hong Kong
The World’s 50 Best Bars 2025, sponsored by Perrier, was unveiled during a live ceremony in Hong Kong, marking the 17th edition of the global ranking.
This year’s list features venues across 29 cities worldwide, with Hong Kong’s Bar Leone taking the coveted title of The World’s Best Bar 2025 and The Best Bar in Asia 2025, the first time a bar in Asia has claimed the No.1 position.
Hotel bars continued to demonstrate their leadership in global mixology. Connaught Bar, located at The Connaught Hotel in London, claimed No.6. Scarfes Bar, at Rosewood London, secured No.31, while Caretaker’s Cottage, located at The Melbourne Hotel, retained its crown as the region’s best bar at No.19.
“We are deeply honoured to spotlight the extraordinary diversity of the global bar landscape in 2025 and we raise a glass to every bar that has earned their place in this year’s list,” comments Emma Sleight, Head of Content for The World’s 50 Best Bars. “With more cocktail capitals represented than ever before, this ranking continues to serve as a vibrant compass for curious drinkers and passionate explorers alike – igniting wanderlust and raising the bar for cocktail culture across the globe.”
