50 Best Bars in the World

Since the dawn of time, the local bar has been a respite from the mundanity of daily life as well as a place to simply unwind with a nice stiff drink. Those are our bars; our own personal Cheers where everyone knows your name and you’re surrounded by good friends, good service, and of course, libations.

The problem is that everyone seems to have their favorite and it’s difficult to really discern between quality bars. Well, Drinks International has comprised their own list after a compilation of votes and surveys and has come up with their take on the world’s 50 best bars:
