Asia’s 50 Best Bars ceremony is returning to Hong Kong at the illustrious Rosewood Hong Kong on Jul. 16 for a glitzy celebration of the region’s top drinking haunts.
The ninth edition will welcome back a second successive ceremony at the Tsim Sha Tsui hotel. The Hong Kong Tourism Board and Pernod Ricard are partnering up with Asia’s 50 Best to mark the top bars and special awards.
The Bartenders’ Feast will kick off the celebrations on Jul. 15 with a party held at the highest rooftop bar in the world, The Ritz-Carlton’s OZONE, bringing together bartenders across the board in Asia. The extended 51–100 list will be released on the same day.
Other special awards set to be announced as part of the ceremony include the Disaronno Highest New Entry, Nikka Highest Climber, Rémy Martin Legend of the List, and the Destination Awards.
Hong Kong’s COA will be on edge with the hopes of retaining Asia’s Best Bar title for a third consecutive year, after clinching the award in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
