Two London bars have been named among the top ten best drinking spots in the world, according to the annual World’s Best 50 Bars list. London’s Artesian in Portland Place secured the top spot for the fourth consecutive year, while Shoreditch’s Nightjar came in third.
Artesian, known for its surrealist-inspired menu and fantastical décor, uses an ultra-sonic homogeniser to infuse ingredients for cocktails like the Chameleon Crystals. The bar beat The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog in New York, which took second place.
Another London bar, the Savoy’s American Bar, ranked fifth, newly reopened after renovation in 2010. The top ten was completed by bars in Sydney, Singapore, and Melbourne.
The list also highlighted Candelaria in Paris as the top-ranking bar in a non-English speaking country, coming in at number 12.
