Now in its seventh edition, the extended 51-100 list includes bars from 24 different cities across the continent and features ten bars from 2021's top 50, including 2019’s Asia’s Best Bar, Hong Kong’s The Old Man, and Tokyo’s legendary Bar High Five.
The inclusion of Blackbird from Kathmandu marks Nepal's debut to the list.
Speaking about the extended 51-100 list, Mark Sansom, director of content for The World’s 50 Best Bars, said: “In 2021, we decided to extend the Asia’s 50 Best Bars ranking to include more bars that deserve to be recognised for the remarkable drinking experience they provide their guests.
“We continue that tradition for the second year in our endeavour to support the region’s bar industry as it emerges with extraordinary resilience from the pandemic’s struggles and challenges.
“As countries open up and gastronomic travel resumes, it gives us great pleasure to recommend double the number of establishments that visitors should seek out and experience.
“To be able to reference 24 different cities across Asia can only be a good thing.”
Following a two-year hiatus, Asia’s 50 Best bars will see the return of an in-person unveiling ceremony in Bangkok on 28 April.
Ahead of new week's ceremony, Keith Motsi, head bartender at Seoul’s Charles H, was awarded the Altos Bartenders’ Bartender Award and Bangkok’s BKK Social Club was named the winner of Michter’s Art of Hospitality Award.
