If you buy into that sort of award hype, that is. Which I do!
The World's 50 Best Bars did their annual awards shindig last night, seeing Connaught Bar in London take back its position as the World's Best Bar in this, the most cursed, godforsaken year in living memory. Since international travel is a twelve Martini headache, what's available within, say, walking distance?
The three-story, multi-concept Sober Company rose from #45 Best Bar in the World last year to #42 Best Bar in the World. Big props to the well-dressed people behind that. Unfortunately, the only other Shanghai entry on the list, the other, other three-story multi-concept from SG Group, Speak Low, dropped from #35 to #57. Ouch. Still good! Still good.
