The World’s 50 Best Bars 2013The World’s 50 Best Bars for 2013 were just announced in London with Artesian at the Langham Hotel in London taking out first place for the second year running. NightJar also from London came in second place and at number 3, Tokyo’s Bar High Five took out the award for Best Bar in Asia.

Australia was well represented with The Black Pearl from Melbourne at number 7 and Best Bar in Australasia. Sydney’s Baxter Inn followed at number 8. The Everleigh in Melbourne took out the 24th spot followed by Sydney’s Eau de Vie Bar at 25. Two new entries from Australia made the list with Bulletin Place at number 26 and Shady Pines Saloon  in 41st place.

Voting was done by the Academy with nearly 230 voters from around the world which I was invited to be part of. http://www.worlds50bestbars.com/the-academy/index.php
