New Delhi, October 09, 2024: 30BestBarsIndia, the country’s most prestigious bar ranking platform, has unveiled the long list of the Top 100 bars for its 5th edition. The list is based on a special pan-India jury poll, made up of bar enthusiasts, industry professionals and drinks connoisseurs. This year’s voting list for the ‘Best Bars’ category also included more than 150 self-nominations from bars across the country on the 30BestBarsIndia website.
AT A GLANCE:
The 2024 long list features bars ranging from chic urban lounges and hotel bars to artisanal cocktail rooms and speakeasies, with representation from cities large and small. With almost half of the Top 100 comprising new entrants, these bars have set benchmarks in mixology, service, design, ambience, and sustainability. A larger national jury of more than 250 members is currently voting to determine the final ranking of the 30 Best Bars of India for 2024, based on the long list. The rankings will be unveiled at an awards ceremony at the Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon, Panaji, on January 13, 2025. Vikram Achanta, Co-Founder of 30BestBarsIndia, said, "In the past year, we've seen a significant emphasis on concept and storytelling, which has now become paramount. Bars are no longer just spaces to drink – they are immersive experiences. The substantial number of nominations we received this year is a testament to our mission at 30BestBarsIndia – to educate and elevate the visibility of bars across the country. We're also witnessing a continued resurgence of hotel bars, which are setting new benchmarks for creativity and hospitality." Radhakrishnan Nair, Co-Founder of 30BestBarsIndia, said, “The record entry of 48 new bars in the Long List is a testament to the constantly improving standards of bars across the country, including in non-metro towns. At the same time, the fact that so many of our regulars have dropped out of the Long List this year is a signal to bars that they have to be constantly innovating to stay in the reckoning and be counted among the best in the country.” The Top 100 bars in India, listed alphabetically, are: (New entries are marked with an asterisk) ● 7 Rivers Brewing Co., Taj MG Road (Bangalore) ● AER Lounge, Four Seasons (Mumbai)* ● Aidu (Hyderabad)* ● AMPM (Kolkata)* ● Americano (Mumbai) ● Bandra Born (Mumbai)* ● Bar 259, JW Marriott (Kolkata)* ● Bar Palladio, Narain Niwas Palace (Jaipur) ● Beno (Goa)* ● Bob's Bar, Indiranagar (Bangalore) ● Byg Brewski Brewing Company, Hennur (Bangalore) ● Cirqa 1960 (Mumbai)* ● Cobbler & Crew (Pune) ● Cock & Bull (Hyderabad) ● Cocktails & Dreams (Gurgaon) ● Comorin (Gurgaon) ● Copitas, Four Seasons Hotel (Bangalore) ● Ekaa (Mumbai) ● Elephant & Co.
