Hong Kong’s Bar Leone snapped up world’s No. 2 position at its first entry into the World's 50 Best Bars Awards, second only to Mexico City’s Handshake Speakeasy.
The Hong Kong bar also took home the Disaronno Highest New Entry award and was named the Best Bar in Asia in the awards ceremony held in Madrid on 22 October.
A total of eleven bars in Asia made to the top 50 list this year. Apart from Bar Leone, Singapore’s Jigger & Pony at No. 5, Seoul’s Zest landed at No. 9, Bangkok’s BKK Social Club at No. 12, Hong Kong’s bar Coa at No. 18, Tokyo's Bar Benfiddich landed in No. 25, Singapore’s Nutmeg & Clove at No. 28, Bangkok’s Bar Us at No. 41, Tokyo’s Virtù at No. 42, Singapore’s Atlas and Analogue Initiative finished the Asian winners list at No. 43 and No. 47 respectively.
