The longlist was revealed a few weeks back, and now, it's time for North America’s 50 Best Bars to reveal its new, annual ranking.
The 51-100 place lineup featured 15 Canadian establishments in Vancouver (three), Calgary (three), Toronto (five), Montreal (three), and Victoria (one).
But, positions one to 50 of North America's Best Bars list were only just revealed in a prestigious ceremony in Vancouver on April 29.
Each bar was ranked by gathering votes from over 300 bar industry experts, including bartenders, bar owners, drinks media and cocktail connoisseurs from across the region, which includes the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
