If you have resided in Singapore for even just a short amount of time, you will know and most certainly love this bar for its awesome evening tipples and wonderful Sunday cocktail free-flow brunch.
After maintaining its position as the top bar in Asia two years running, and falling just behind the Dandelyan and the American Bar at the Savoy, both of which are in London, Manhattan at the Regent Singapore has broken new ground and has been named the third best bar in the world.
The World's 50 Best Bars awards was held in a glittering ceremony at London's iconic Roundhouse venue just a few days ago, with the list being compiled by votes from The World's 50 Best Bars Academy, comprised of more than 500 drinks experts
At the unveiling of the World’s 50 Best Bars list in London on Wednesday 3 October 2018, Manhattan was ranked at Number3, climbing four spots from the number 7 position when it broke into the top 10 for the first time in 2017.
And the wins just keep on coming. The gorgeously designed, Art Deco-styled Atlas in Parkview Museu clinched number 8 bar in the world, rising seven spots from its previous number 15 position in 2017. Atlas is also currently the number 4 on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list.
Other Singapore bars on the prestigious World’s 50 Best list are Native at number 13, Operation Dagger at number 23, and 28 Hong Kong Street at number34. Tanjong Pagar’s Tippling Club, previously at number 31 last year, fell off the list of Best bars In The World.
