The 50 Best Bars, sponsored by Perrier, announces the extended rankings for 2026, listing bars ranked No. 51 through No. 100. The release marks the tenth year that the contest publishes an expanded 51–100 range rather than stopping at the top 50. The announcement comes two weeks before the main awards ceremony for The 50 Best Bars 2026, scheduled to take place in Milan.
All outlets describe the same expanded list and timing, but Euronews adds a regional breakdown of where bars are located. It reports that Europe features prominently, with 18 spots in Europe on the extended 51–100 list. Euronews further states that Italy places four bars on the list, while Spain and the UK each have three bars included. The PR Newswire releases focus mainly on the overall unveiling of the No. 51 to No. 100 rankings and the significance of the tenth edition of the extended format.
