After holding the awards ceremony in Singapore last year, The World’s 50 Best Bars returns to Spain for its 16th edition.
In 2022, the awards were held in Barcelona. The 2024 awards will see Spain’s largest city and central capital, Madrid, play host.
The list of The World’s 50 Best Bars will be unveiled at a grand ceremony on Tuesday, 22nd October.
With its mission to showcase the planet’s finest cocktail cities, 50 Best will unite the global bar community in Madrid to recognise the achievements of the best bars in the world.
“We are delighted to bring The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024 to the vibrant streets of Madrid, a city long renowned for its outstanding hospitality,” explained Emma Sleight, Head of Content for The World’s 50 Best Bars.
“We look forward to gathering this incredible community together once more to honour the innovation, creativity, and unparalleled achievements of the world’s most exceptional mixology and to ignite the curiosity of cocktail lovers around the globe.”
As usual, the list of The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024 will be anonymously voted for by a gender-balanced Academy of more than 700 bartenders, consultants, writers, and cocktail specialists from around the world. Deloitte will independently adjudicate the results.
The Bartenders’ Feast, hosted the evening before the ceremony for those talented individuals whose bars feature in this year’s ranking, will again return. As well as special awards such as Michter’s Art of Hospitality Award and Altos Bartenders’ Bartender Award.
Additionally, over the next few months, bars and bartenders from around the world, whether they feature in the list of The World’s 50 Best Bars or not, will also be invited to nominate themselves for the 50 Best Bars Roku Scholarship 2024, the Bareksten Best Bar Design Award and/or Siete Misterios Best Cocktail Menu Award.
