And it's not just the pubs that are worth their salt in the capital. It's bars too. From sophisticated cocktail dens to sweet wine bars and trendy natty wine joints, London has everything whatever your tipple of choice may be. Now it's official: 35 bars in London have been named amongthe world's best in the Top 500 Bars list. And we can vouch, because we've sampled drinks at nearly every bar named on the list.

A bunch of new London bars have been added to the prestigious Pinnacle Guide, which is kind of like the Michelin Guide but for bars instead of restaurants. The Pinnacle Guide launched last year and hands out one, two or three 'Pins' to bars that are either 'excellent', 'outstanding' or 'exceptional'. And a bunch of new one and two Pin bars have just been announced, including 10 in London.

Raise your glasses please, because in a couple of weeks the brand new list of the World's 50 Best Bars will be revealed. The 2025 edition will be unveiled at a swanky ceremony in Hong Kong. But before that, a bit of a tease. The bars ranked from number 51 to 100 in the list have been announced - and three of them are in London. Well done, London!

Shake-up on the list reflects the dynamics of the cocktail industry. With both new and established bars making significant jumps, the rankings highlight ongoing creativity.

Pacific Cocktail Haven hit number 16 on the list, with the 50 Best folks mentioning that the bar's 'Asian Pacific ingredients lead its extensive drinks programme.'
