SINGAPORE – Five Singapore bars have made the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list for 2025. Jigger & Pony at Amara Hotel is the island’s top-ranked entrant in 2025 at No. 3, for the second year running.

During the awards ceremony in Macau on July 15, Hong Kong’s Bar Leone was awarded the top spot, also for the second year running.

Opened in early 2023, the casual Italian-inspired watering hole in Hong Kong’s bustling Central neighbourhood was the first bar in the history of the Best Bars rankings to hit the number one spot in its debut year.

Asia’s No. 2 bar in 2024, Seoul’s Zest, has also remained in the same spot for 2025.

Singapore’s other entrants are Offtrack at No. 23 (from No. 25), Nutmeg & Clove at No. 24 (from No. 6), Cat Bite Club at No. 44 (from No. 77) and Native at No. 45 (from No. 31).

Atlas at Parkview Square, which was ranked No. 49 in 2024, did not make either the top 50 or

51-100 rankings that were announced on July 3

.

The six Singapore bars on that list include five that were on the top 50 list in 2024: Sago House (No. 56), Origin Bar (No. 60), Night Hawk (No. 77), Employees Only (No. 89) and Fura (No. 95).

The sixth is Side Door, a new entry and Singapore’s highest on the 51-100 ranking at No. 53.

Bangkok has the most bars in the top 50 ranking out of any Asian city, with seven venues: Bar Us (No. 4), Dry Wave Cocktail Studio (No. 5), BKK Social Club (No. 19), G.O.D (No. 26), Vesper (No. 29), Opium (No. 43) and Bar Sathorn (No. 48).

The Asia’s 50 Best Bars list is based on votes by Asia’s 50 Best Bars Academy – a group of regional industry professionals including bartenders, bar owners, drinks writers, educators and cocktail aficionados.

It is organised by William Reed, which also manages The World’s 50 Best Bars and The World’s 50 Best Restaurants accolades.

Next up is The World’s 50 Best Bars awards, which will take place in Hong Kong on Oct 8.
