Big ups to Manhattan for soaring from fifth place to its current top spot on this year’s list of Asia’s 50 Best Bars. The second annual rankings saw the Regent Singapore bar knocking another local establishment, 28 HongKong Street, off its first place from last year.
Check out the top 10:
- Manhattan, Singapore
- Speak Low, Shanghai
- High Five, Tokyo
- 28 HongKong Street, Singapore
- Indulge Experimental Bistro, Taipei
- Operation Dagger, Singapore
- Quinary, Hong Kong
- Stockton, Hong Kong
- The Union Trading Company, Shanghai
- Lobster Bar, Hong Kong
Altogether, 13 bars from Singapore made it to the top 50 list, including Tippling Club (11th), Atlas (12th), Gibson (14th), Employees Only Singapore (17th), Native (20th), Jigger & Pony (21st), D.Bespoke (29th), Nutmeg & Clove (30th), The Other Room (35th) and Sugarhall (38th). A toast to our atas watering holes!
Besides Singapore’s strong showing, Hong Kong also put up a pretty good fight with eight bars on the list, which is determined by votes from about 200 industry experts in Asia. Out of the 18 new entries, Taiwan’s Indulge Experimental Bistro emerged as the Highest New Entry at fifth place, and India appeared on the list for the first time with Mumbai’s Aer Bar & Lounge at 37th position.
