The annual list of the 50 best bars in the world was just released, and Manhattan bar, The Dead Rabbit, has taken top honors. New York and London cleaned up, with the two cities accounting for nine of the top 10 spots. And though winners hail from Beirut, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Singapore and Sydney, once more the vast majority of bars call Europe (22) and the USA (14) home. The rankings are compiled by Drinks International, with votes cast by an academy of 476 bar experts.
