Somebody Made A List Of The World's 50 Best Cocktail Bars
Trade publication Drinks International polled 150 experts from across 40 countries to calculate the world's best bars. Yesterday, they dropped their results at a fancy party in London. The list is solid for the most part — and very London-focused. Some might question that. Not us, as we did, after all, affirm during Getting Pissed In London Week that London is the best city for drinking cocktails in the world. We did have 58 drinks after all and liked pretty much most of them. Anyways, this list business is highly subjective. What do you think?
