The 50 Best Bars Announces Extended 51-100 List for 2026

The 50 Best Bars, sponsored by Perrier, has unveiled the selection of bars ranked between No.51 and No.100 for its 2026 edition. This release precedes the main awards ceremony by two weeks and serves to recognize a broader spectrum of global drinking establishments.

This year's announcement coincides with the tenth anniversary of the extended 51-100 list, initially introduced to provide a more comprehensive view of the world's top bars beyond the initial top 50. The full list, celebrating excellence in bartending, is a key event in the international hospitality calendar.

The main The 50 Best Bars 2026 awards ceremony is scheduled to take place in London. This event gathers industry professionals, celebrated bartenders, and bar owners from around the globe to honor outstanding achievements and emerging trends.

Industry observers anticipate the rankings will reflect a continued focus on sustainability, the use of local ingredients, and unique guest experiences, themes that have gained prominence in the global bar scene over recent years.
