Are These the 50 Best Bars in the World?

Another day, another list: Drinks International, an industry news magazine and awards generator, today released its list of The World's 50 Best Bars. The awards were given out at a ceremony co-hosted by cocktail historian David Wondrich last night in London. In addition to the 50 best bars, six bars won as the best in their respective regions.

For the third year in a row, Artesian in London was awarded the top spot as Best Bar in the World 2014. Artesian is run by Alex Kratena and Simone Caporale, who release a new menu each year around a certain theme. Last year's was "perfumes and smells." New York City's Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog took home the second place win, and London's Nightjar rounded out the top three.
