Amidst the trying times for the food and beverage industry this year, the folks over at The World’s 50 Best Bars have put together their list for 2020. Following the Asia’s 50 Best Bars of 2020 list that came a few months back, the wider global annual rankings is voted for by hundreds of drinks experts from across the world.

Topping this list this year is London, England’s Connaught Bar located in the Connaught Hotel. Despite the COVID-19 restrictions, the Connaught Bar has been able to maintain its refined atmosphere, impeccable service and superb quality. Following close behind is the Dante in New York which was established all the way back in 1915 and has served as a staple of the city’s nightlife ever since. Coming in third place is The Clumsies in Athens, Greece, which has been reinvigorated by a partnership with chef Athinagoras Kostakos with a focus on showcasing Greek ingredients
