North America’s 50 Best Bars

There have only been two years of North America’s 50 Best Bars so far, and they haven’t published the 51-100 lists yet, but I’ve compiled what they’ve got so far. While they publish the names of the voting regions, they don’t publish the exact boundaries. Therefore, I’ve had to guess what region a city falls in – it’s usually obvious, but not always.

I finally found a way to embed all the data directly onto the site but it does lose it’s color coding – if you want to see that, head to the original Google Doc here. You can sort by any column heading to see the list for that year. Average is simply the sum of their ranks divided by the number of times they’ve been on the list.

As always, bar rankings are based on data from The World’s 50 Best Bars – I am not affiliated with The World’s 50 Best Bars or William Reed Ltd.
