20 Best Bars in the World: 2023

This year's holiday season promises to see many Americans traveling to favorite cities in Western Europe as well as less-visited places around the world. Many will be looking for vibrant nightlife. If you're looking to have a next-level night out with clients, friends or co-workers and the world's best restaurants are out of reach, a cocktail (or mocktail) at one of these innovative watering holes might be more accessible. The 2023 edition of the World's 50 Best Bars — organized by U.K.-based data and events business William Reed and sponsored by Perrier — lists both standbys and newcomers. See the accompanying gallery for this year's crop of the world's 20 best bars.
