And here we are! 26 letters later, the last entries from our teams across the globe on the world’s best bars. Read on to see what letters with W, X, Y and Z made it!
But we’re not done with the list! As always, let us know what pubs and bars you know that we’ve missed out and we’ll add them in and print a full list next week. We’ll also – after a few of you requested it in the comments and Twitter/Facebook – list them by country.
So here we go, one last time!
W
Westin Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego, USA
An urban retreat next to the historic Gaslamp Quarter. A great hotel with the hottest nightlife, dining and drinks.
Whiski Rooms, Edinburgh, Scotland
One of the new kids on the block in Edinburgh’s whisky bar scene. The bar is flanked by a bistro and a shop, so it’s easy to spend a full day in this well stocked whiski bar!
Waldorf Astoria, Shanghai, China
One of the best hotels in the city. Enjoy a glass of Whyte & Mackay or Dalmore whilst overlooking stunning views of the Bund.
Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia
This bar has one of the largest whisky stocks in Malyasia with over 275 whiskies – including Whyte & Mackay and Dalmore – served behind the bar. Try their Whisky Tour Voyage experience for a unique tasting into the world of blended and malt whisky.
X
Xoxo, London
Great atmosphere, great cocktails, but go early as it’s been known to get huge queues outside.
Y
Yacht Club, Manchester
Newly opened, this Riviera styled summer bar and sundeck in the heart of Manchester has a bit of a French-style Mad Men feel to it.Z
Zinc Bar, Manchester
Looking for somewhere to relax and chill after reading a long list of A-Z of bars to drink in? Well, you’ve found just the place.
Zander Bar, London
It’s Wunder-bar! (Sorry). A great bar for some nice, relaxing drinking. Don’t tell our Master Blender Richard Paterson, but you must try the cocktails! (Just get one that’s whisky-themed of course…)
