North America's Best Bar Has Been Crowned, And It's In Mexico City
Briefly

The 2025 edition of North America's 50 Best Bars was unveiled in Vancouver, with Mexico City's Handshake Speakeasy taking the top honor for the second year in a row. The bar, now in a new location within the NH Hotel, offers an intimate cocktail experience with just 32 seats and 90-minute reservations. Under the leadership of Eric van Beek, the bar offers innovative cocktails like Mexi-Thai and Once Upon a Time in Oaxaca, showcasing refined craftsmanship that earned it additional accolades, including the world's best bar for 2024.
"This year's list is a testament to the relentless drive that defines the cocktail industry," said Emma Sleight, head of content for North America's 50 Best Bars.
Handshake Speakeasy has claimed the No. 1 title-proof that some of the continent's most refined cocktail craftsmanship is happening right in the heart of Mexico City.
