Sip & Guzzle NYC, the bar from industry pros Steve Schneider & Shingo Gokan, is high on my list of 2025 destinations to visit. It earns a top-five spot, at #5 on the North America's 50 Best Bars 2025 Awards list. #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails

At #6 on the list of North America's 50 Best Bars 2025 is Overstory NYC. Way down @ the south end of Manhattan, the view from the terrace, like the cocktails, is unparalleled. Save the money you were going to spend on the Empire State Building and go here #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails

At #7 on the list of North America's 50 Best Bars 2025, as the best bar in Canada, we find Bar Pompette! Congratulations to Hugo Togni, Simon Taggart and their team. Run, don't walk, to visit this Toronto gem. #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails

It's been a while since I've been in LA, but can't wait to visit this year's "Highest Climber Award" at North America's 50 Best Bars 2025, #12 - Mirate! #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails

If you're in Miami, you *must* go to Cafe La Trova, who held steady this year at #13 on the list of North America's 50 Best Bars 2025. Their pop-up and seminar in Toronto last year was fantastic! #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails
April 30, 2025 at 6:44 AM
Bar Mauro, a new bar that's opened in CDMX since the last time I visited, debuts at #14 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2025! Can't wait to go back - so many stellar bars in the city to discover! #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails

Sadly missed the Toronto pop-up of Martiny's NYC, but look forward to visiting them next time I'm in the city. Congratulations to the team there, who just placed #15 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2025! #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails

I haven't been lucky enough to visit the new(-ish) location of PCH in San Francisco, but loved my visit to the old spot. They find themselves at #16 on the list of North America's 50 Best Bars 2025! #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails
April 30, 2025 at 6:35 AM
Nicolas Torres and his team at True Laurel in SF land a well-deserved spot at #17 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2025! The 1-2 punch of TL & Trick Dog around the corner is unmatched! Congrats to you all & thanks for visiting my home bar here in Toronto! #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails

Perennial Favorite, NYC's Employees Only climbs back up to #18 on North America's 50 Best Bars List. While it never gets the recognition it deserves for cocktail innovation, the vibes have *always* been impeccable, and just *so* fun. The Steak Tartare! #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails
April 30, 2025 at 5:26 AM
Double Chicken Please in NYC, the #1 bar only a few years ago, drops to #19 on the list at North America's 50 Best Bars 2025 Ceremony. Still hoping to get there someday soon. #NorthAmericas50Best #50BestBars #Cocktails
