Introducing Europe's 50 Best Bars: Celebrating the Finest Drinking Venues Across the Continent

Europe's 50 Best Bars: A New Era for Cocktail Enthusiasts

In a thrilling announcement, 50 Best has revealed that it will launch the inaugural list of Europe's 50 Best Bars. This new ranking aims to celebrate the most outstanding cocktail venues across the continent, highlighting the creativity and excellence that define European bar culture. As an extension of the successful World's 50 Best Bars, North America's 50 Best Bars, and Asia's 50 Best Bars, this initiative provides a reliable guide for consumers seeking exceptional experiences in bars.

Emma Sleight, Director of Content for Europe's 50 Best Bars, expressed her excitement about this launch, stating, "We are truly thrilled to introduce our new awards program in Europe. Following the growing success of our regional lists in Asia and North America, we are confident that this addition will become an essential part of the bar scene, showcasing both established and emerging destinations. The outcome will be a list of the most memorable cocktail experiences, celebrating passion, talent, and hard work, while providing discerning customers with a credible guide."

The launch of Europe's 50 Best Bars will coincide with a series of celebrations, including the popular Bartenders' Feast held on the eve of the awards ceremony. Anticipation builds as the highly awaited list will be unveiled during a grand award ceremony featuring a red carpet and reception, culminating in the announcement of the final rankings live. The event will also recognize various special awards for both individuals and establishments on the list, including the coveted title of The Best Bar in Europe, sponsored by Perrier.

The inaugural ranking for Europe's 50 Best Bars will showcase the finest cocktail experiences based on the votes from 300 anonymous industry experts in the European bar landscape. Notably, members of the 50 Best organization do not participate in the voting process; that responsibility lies solely with the Academy. Bars are not able to nominate themselves for inclusion on the list, and sponsors have no influence over the outcomes.

The details regarding the date and location for the announcement of the first list are forthcoming and will be revealed closer to the event. This initiative reinforces the significance of premium cocktail experiences and the skilled professionals who craft them, and it places a substantial spotlight on the diversity of bars across Europe.

As European cocktail culture continues to evolve, the introduction of this new ranking not only acknowledges established favorites but also encourages the rise of innovative new venues, ensuring that bar enthusiasts from all backgrounds can explore exciting experiences. With a focus on creativity and excellence, Europe's 50 Best Bars is poised to become an indispensable resource for anyone looking to indulge in extraordinary cocktail adventures across the continent. Embrace the spirit of celebration as we await the announcement of the list, promising a future of remarkable bar experiences throughout Europe!
