Bar Leone in Hong Kong is named “The World’s Best Bar” at the 50 Best Bars 2026 awards, sponsored by Perrier, for the second consecutive year. Multiple outlets report that the announcement comes alongside the release of a full list drawn from bars in several countries and cities.
The 2026 lineup includes venues from 26 cities, with new entries appearing across locations such as São Paulo, Medellín, Paris, and New York, among others. Beyond Bar Leone’s top ranking, outlets also highlight other category winners announced as part of the event, including regional and special awards such as “Best Bar in Asia” and industry recognition honors. While the sources largely agree on Bar Leone’s No. 1 status and the structure of the list, they vary mainly in how much they emphasize the broader global city coverage versus the additional award recipients mentioned in the same release.
