World's 50 Best Bars to be revealed tonight: will a Malaysian bar finally make it in?

The World's 50 Best Bars list for 2020 will be revealed in a virtual ceremony to be held at 11pm Malaysian time.

The embattled bartending industry Malaysia could see some cheer tonight when the World's 50 Best Bars list for 2020 is revealed in a virtual ceremony to be held at 11pm (Malaysian time).

Malaysia had 3 bars – Bar Trigona, Coley, and JungleBird – on the Asia's 50 Best Bars list announced earlier this year, and hopes are high throughout the industry that we'll see one or two bars in the World list as well.

Published annually since 2009, the World's 50 Best Bars is a definitive list of the world’s best drinking venues, voted for by an Academy of over 540 experts worldwide. The list of Asia’s 50 Best Bars has been published since 2016.
