Top 50 Cocktail Bars

Top 50 Cocktail Bars is more than an event.​

It celebrates the premium end of the drinking out market and focuses on the UK’s vibrant cocktail bar segment. The list is compiled using votes from operators, journalists and experts within the cocktail business. The awards ceremony is unique and is attended by the 50 bars on the list and finalists in the special award categories. The live presentation of the list on the reveal day is a fast-paced run down from 50 to 1, including the announcement of bars excelling in certain areas.

At the event, attendees will also be able to taste some of the best cocktails, network and celebrate with their peers. Straight after the list is announced, our Top 50 Cocktails Bars consumer website, aimed at the discerning cocktail bar advocate, will be updated. It will show the full Top 50 Cocktail Bars list, including information about the bars featured, the bar tenders and classic and signature cocktails recipes. Consumers will also be able to use the ‘Find a Cocktail Bar’ tab on the website to discover the best cocktail bars in their area.

In 2022, we're looking forward to a return to face-to-face events. Venue TBC.
