The list of North America’s 50 Best Bars, sponsored by Perrier, was announced at the live awards ceremony on April 23 at Rosewood San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The annual ranking features bars from across North America, including the USA, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
The Best Bar in North America, according to the list, is Mexico City’s Handshake Speakeasy; it’s also been named The Best Bar in Mexico. No.2 is New York City’s Superbueno, which also claims the title of Disaronno Highest New Entry as well as The Best Bar in Northeast USA 2024, sponsored by Disaronno. New York City’s Overstory follows at No.3.
New York City and Mexico City dominate the list’s top 10; only Jewel of the South in New Orleans (No. 6) and Thunderbolt in Los Angeles (No.8) are not from those two cities.
In fact, New York continues to account for the most of North America’s top bars, with 12 of the 26 U.S. listees. Martiny’s jumped 25 spots to No.4 to earn the Nikka Highest Climber Award. Other Big Apple winners are Double Chicken Please (No.7), Katana Kitten (No.12), Employees Only (No.15), Dante (No.20), Attaboy (No.31), The Dead Rabbit (No.33), Maison Premiere (No.41), new entry Angel’s Share (No.43), and Milady’s (No.44).
