Bar Leone named world's best

This year's ranking features venues from 29 cities worldwide. Hong Kong's Bar Leone claimed the top honor as The World's Best Bar 2025, as well as The Best Bar in Asia 2025, sponsored by Perrier — the first time a bar in Asia has taken the No 1 position in the list's history.

Guangzhou's Hope & Sesame, located in Guangdong province, debuted at No 29, becoming the first bar from Guangzhou ever to be included in the ranking.
