If there’s one thing people miss about socializing in the word before the coronavirus its restaurants.
Of course, most eateries are open, but the inability to eat outside or freely gather at the bar is surely a damper. But despite the pandemic, it didn’t stop the folks over at The World’s 50 Best Bars to put together an extensive list for 2020.
Reigning supreme this year is England’s Connaught Bar, which can be found in the Connaught Hotel, and the cocktails are known to be as dapper and beautiful as the impeccably dresses staff. The bar has been on the list before, but this is the first time it topped the list– and it’s well deserved. Coming in second is Dante in New York, which has been open since 1915. The Greenwich Village staple is an official New York City landmark, and if you’re looking for a fire Negroni menu, this is the place to go. Since New York has some of the best nightlife globally, the Big Apple appears on the list several other times for spots like the Lower East Side’s Attaboy, Nomad Bar, which is known for its good eats, Katana Kitten, and Employees Only.
