Here Are the World’s 50 Best Bars, According to a New Ranking - Robb Report
Bar Leone, a cocktail spot in Hong Kong, has once again been crowned the best bar in the world, according to 50 Best Bars’s newest ranking. The Italian-themed locale in the city’s Central District was perched in the No. 1 slot on last year’s ranking, too. The 18th edition of the list was unveiled in Milan earlier this week, with some 800 judges submitting their votes. It makes sense why Bar Leone has remained at the top. Cofounded by Lorenzo Antinori, the bar is focused on creating cocktail popolari, or “cocktails for the people”, with the goal of crafting accessible, timeless drinks instead of following trends—all wrapped in one warm, welcoming locale that is inspired by watering holes in Rome’s Trastevere district. All that attention to detail made the spot the first Asian bar to ever top the World’s Best Bar list in 2025.
