But wait there’s more – Sydney’s fabulous Maybe Sammy (pictured) made its sixth appearance on the list, coming in at 26. A fantastic achievement for the group, and for Aussie bars. Bubble-gun cocktails all around!
Melbourne’s Byrdi bar – known for its ferments, seasonal drinks, highballs and bangin’ food menu – jumped up from 61 in 2023 to a massive 35 this year. And lastly, another iconic and beloved Aussie bar, Melbourne’s Above Board pipped in at 100.
Cocktail creatives, bartender gurus and all-round industry legends descended on Madrid this year for the annual reveal, with more than 1000 folk attending the finalist's gala.
To make the hard decisions, 700 drink pros – famous bartenders, consultants, writers, and cocktail experts from all over the globe – pick their top eight bars based on their fave experiences over the past year and a half. That means best hospitality, service, overall experience, and, of course, the booze. A hard feat!
Congratulations to all our wonderful Aussie bars, what a year!
