The Top 100 is comprised of 25% new bars compared to the previous year with the ranking including 113 cities (compared to 105 last year), 53 countries (52 last year) with new cities like Istanbul, Nha Trang and Syracuse.
The ranking is created via an algorithm collating thousands of data.
“To create this ranking, we have aggregated thousands of data about cocktail bars on the web, from hundreds of sources, in over 20 languages. We not only gather the opinion of experts, journalists and influencers but also rankings, platforms and search engines that aggregate reviews from everyone to complete the set, despite the pandemic that slows down the travels.”
