"This particular list was pulled from a wider ranking of the 50 best bars in North America, compiled by 50 Best, the self-described "leading authority in global gastronomy and the international drinks scene." To determine the continent's top watering holes, 50 Best solicited votes from "260 drinks experts, including bartenders, bar owners, drinks media, and well-traveled cocktail connoisseurs from Canada, USA, Mexico and the Caribbean, with a 50/50 gender balance.""
"The voters, split into eight regions, each ranked the seven best bars they'd visited in the past 18 months: Five had to be located in the country or U.S. state in which the voter was based, and the two others could be anywhere else. New York City's dominance suggests that a lot of non-New York voters used those two slots for New York bars."
50 Best compiled a North America ranking of the 50 best bars and produced a U.S. top 25 list drawn from that ranking. The ranking relied on votes from 260 drinks experts, including bartenders, bar owners, drinks media, and well-traveled cocktail connoisseurs from Canada, USA, Mexico, and the Caribbean, with a 50/50 gender balance. Voters were organized into eight regions and each ranked seven bars they'd visited in the previous 18 months, with five required to be local and two allowed anywhere. New York City placed 11 bars in the top 25 and took four of the top five slots. The top spot went to Double Chicken Please on the Lower East Side, and New Orleans's Jewel of the South was the only non-New York bar in the top five. New Orleans, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles each had two bars in the top 25.
