Jigger and Pony reigns as top bar in Asia, claiming the No.12 spot while edging out Hong Kong's Coa, which fell out of the top ten from No.7 to No.17. This is according to the World’s 50 Best Bars 2022 list announced on October 4. Making the list is another local entry, Manhattan, which suffered a fall of 18 spots from No.15 last year to place in at No.33.
Outside of Asia, claiming No.1 spot is Paradiso, Barcelona, making it the first time ever for this accolade to be won by bars outside of London or New York – this is also the first time the ceremony left London, hosting it in Barcelona. This year also sees a whopping 14 new entries spread across 26 different cities such as Florence, Lisbon and Naples. Though it was the Big Apple's Double Chicken Please that made a big splash collecting the Disaronno Highest New Entry award for breaking into the list for the first time at No.6.
Outside of the top 50 rankings, the extended 51 to 100 list also features eight Singaporean bars: Sago House (No.51), 28 HongKong Street (No.55), MO Bar (No.57), Atlas (No.67), No Sleep Club (No.69) and Nutmeg & Clove (No.74). New entries Analogue (No.65) and Republic (No.90) also managed to hitch a ride.
