WORLD’S
BEST BARS
The 2017 list of the World’s 50 Best Bars has
been announced, with London and New York
still dominating as the top tipple towns. Here
are the top five.
- AMERICAN BAR, LONDON
Housed in the Savoy Hotel, the ‘American’ in the
name refers to the type of drinks served at this
famous establishment. Not Budweiser or bad
coffee, thankfully, but delicious cocktails. - DANDELYAN, LONDON
The perfect balance of pioneering drinks, five-star
service and sustainable practices make this bar in the
Mondrian Hotel in Southbank a stellar standout.
Amazing
gazing
The best thing about camping in the great
outdoors is the serene surroundings and
star-filled skies. Trouble is, once you’re
inside the tent that all disappears. Until
now. With its clear dome, this ‘bubble tent’
that’s popped up in Australia’s Capertee
Valley lets all of that natural beauty surround
you 24/7. Set in the middle of a 405-hectare
property, the private luxury pod is all yours
for just A$310 (US$243) per night. Book at

- THE NOMAD, NEW YORK
Bring a crowd with you, so you can experience this
bar’s specialty: oversized cocktails that serve eight
to 10 people. Food is courtesy of Daniel Humm,
chef of ‘The World’s Best Restaurant’, Eleven
Madison Park, so bring an appetite too. - CONNAUGHT BAR, LONDON
Sit back and relax in ultra-chic, early-1900s British
Cubism-inspired luxury while the Martini Trolley
makes the perfect bespoke tableside mix. Only ever
stirred, not shaken. Sorry 007. - THE DEAD RABBIT, NEW YORK
A couple of Irish lads set up this establishment as
a tradition-with-a-twist take on their beloved pubs
back home. The vibe is laidback, but the cocktails
are next level.
