Mumbai’s Americano came in at No. 57, and it appears this is the first time this bar has made it to the Asia’s Best Bars list. New Delhi’s Home ranked at No.58, which is quite a drop from its ranking of No.30 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2022 list. New Delhi’s Hoots’, which came in at No.26 last year, has ranked at No.60 this year. Goa’s Hideway has ranked 66, and this also appears to be a new entry. New Delhi’s PCO came in at No.94, while the bar was ranked No.54 last year. 

In 2022, New Delhi’s Sidecar had ranked at No.14, Mumbai’s The Living Room by Masque at No.73 and Mumbai’s The Bombay Canteen had ranked at No.76. It would be interesting to see on July 18 if these three Indian bars have improved or stuck to their rankings—and if new Indian entries have also made it to the Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2023 list. So, all eyes are now on the announcement on July 18. 

Meanwhile, the Indian bars that have indeed ranked in the Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2023 Extended list are celebrating their much-deserved win. “It's an immense honour to be featured on the list once again.
