London’s Connaught Bar has taken out top honors in the World’s 50 Best Bars list for 2021, for the second year running. As well as being crowned the best bar in the world, the Connaught also made our list of London’s best bars, proving we know what we are talking about when it comes to the top drinking spots around the world. 

The Connaught Bar won from another London Bar, Tayēr and Elementary, with Barcelona’s Paradiso claiming the third spot.

New York’s Katana Kitten topped the list of US establishments, coming in at number 10 on the global list. 2019 champion Dante dropped to 30, while Attaboy made the list at 34.
