Denver, United States
Aloy Modern Thai

Schwangau, Germany
AlpenRausch Bar & Lounge
AlpenRausch Bar & Lounge is a hotel bar in Schwangau, a town where evening drinking often follows castle visits, alpine walks, and resort dining rather than late-night city-bar circuits. Its appeal is the lounge format: a quieter, stay-a-while setting for cocktails and after-dinner drinks, with the bar working as part of the broader hotel rhythm rather than a standalone nightlife address.
5
Gainesville, United States
Alpin Bistro
Alpin Bistro occupies a downtown Gainesville address at 15 SW 2nd St, positioning itself within a block of the city's most active dining corridor. The draw here is a spirits-forward program that sets it apart from the beer-heavy venues dominating the University Avenue stretch.

7
Vienna, Austria
Alte Donau
The Alte Donau is Vienna's old oxbow lake, a reed-lined stretch of calm water that functions as the city's summer living room. Beach bars, boat hire, and open-air eating line the banks from late spring through early autumn, drawing Viennese residents rather than tour groups. It sits in the 22nd district, accessible by U-Bahn, and reads as a counterpoint to the formal dining culture of the Innere Stadt.
8
Sioux Falls, United States
Altered Species Ales
Altered Species Ales occupies a suite on Sioux Falls' west side, operating within the city's growing independent craft brewing scene. The taproom format positions it alongside a small cohort of breweries that treat ingredient sourcing and small-batch production as editorial statements rather than marketing copy. For visitors exploring the city's drinking culture, it represents a worthwhile stop on the local independent circuit.
9
Arlington, United States
Altitude
Altitude gives Arlington a quieter bar proposition: Italian-leaning food, a wine-bar spine, and the analogue pull of a vinyl listening lounge. In a city often associated with stadium traffic, breweries, and casual drinking rooms, it points toward a more composed evening format built around what is in the glass, what is on the turntable, and how long the table can hold a conversation.
10
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Altitude
Altitude is a rooftop bar in Phnom Penh, useful for readers comparing the city’s open-air drinking rooms rather than chasing a documented awards trail or chef-led narrative. Its appeal sits in the capital’s skyline format: a high-level setting, cocktail-first expectations, and a position among Phnom Penh’s growing hotel and terrace bar circuit.
13
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Alto Saigon
Alto Saigon occupies an address in Bình Thạnh, one of Ho Chi Minh City's residential districts that has steadily drawn a more informed bar and dining crowd away from the District 1 centre. The space positions itself at the quieter, atmosphere-focused end of Saigon's evening scene, where the physical environment and deliberate pacing matter as much as what arrives at the table.
14
Chadstone, Australia
Altus
Altus is a Chadstone bar to treat as a hotel-level drinking room rather than a neighbourhood pub. The useful lens is altitude and setting: a Level 12 address inside Hotel Chadstone Melbourne MGallery by Sofitel, with the cocktail programme best approached as part of a broader Chadstone evening rather than a standalone bar crawl.
17
Oaxaca, Mexico
Amá Terraza
A rooftop address in Oaxaca City's historic centro, Amá Terraza places itself at the intersection of open-air dining and the region's deep agricultural traditions. The terrace format and central location make it a reference point for understanding how Oaxacan ingredients move from valley floor to plate, with the Sierra Juárez and the Cañada as a permanent backdrop to the meal.
20
Phuket, Thailand
Amanpuri Bar and Lounge
Amanpuri Bar and Lounge belongs to Phuket’s quieter luxury bar tier: hotel-lobby drinking, composed service, and a setting built for long evenings rather than high-volume nightlife. The draw is less about named cocktail theatre than the island’s resort-bar tradition, where polished pacing and a controlled room matter as much as what is in the glass.
24
Minneapolis, United States
Amazing Thailand
On Hennepin Avenue in the Uptown corridor, Amazing Thailand draws a steady circle of regulars who return not for novelty but for consistency — the kind of Thai cooking that earns loyalty over years rather than seasons.

25
Doha, Qatar
Ambar
Ambar sits in Doha with the kind of bar identity that depends less on spectacle than on curation: the back bar, the pacing, and the room’s ability to turn a drink into a considered stop rather than a pre-dinner formality. With no public awards or price guidance attached, it reads as a venue to assess by format, mood, and bottle depth rather than by badges.
27
Laurel Highlands, United States
Amber Bar
Amber Bar is a Laurel Highlands lobby bar suited to a slower drink before or after the region’s resort dining circuit. With no public awards, pricing, or named cocktail list to lean on, its value is contextual: a polished indoor pause point for travelers moving between restaurants, hotels, and evening bars in southwestern Pennsylvania.

34
Lansing, United States
American Fifth Spirits
A craft distillery and tasting room on North Larch Street in Lansing, Michigan, American Fifth Spirits occupies a corner of the city's emerging small-batch spirits scene. The back bar centers on house-made Michigan grain spirits, with a format that rewards slow, considered drinking over quick pours.

35
Tampa, United States
American Legion Post 111

38

The venue sits within Amsterdam's broader wave of post-industrial cultural spaces that double as serious drinking destinations. It draws a crowd that comes as much for the setting as for what's in the glass.
46
Ortigia, Italy
Amunì Cocktail Bar
Amunì Cocktail Bar belongs to Ortigia’s after-dinner circuit, where the island’s compact scale pushes drinking culture toward small rooms, walkable stops, and aperitivo-to-late-evening pacing.

48
St. Helena, United States
Ana's Cantina
Ana's Cantina occupies a Main Street address in the heart of St. Helena, where Napa Valley's wine-country character meets a bar format built around spirits depth and curation.

49
Narendra Nagar, India
Ananda Palace Lounge
Ananda Palace Lounge belongs to Narendra Nagar’s palace-hotel drinking culture, where the appeal is less late-night volume than altitude, ceremony, and a slower evening rhythm. With no public awards, menu pricing, or cocktail list attached, it is better read as a setting-led lounge than a destination cocktail bar built around named signatures.
50
Santa Fe, United States
Anasazi Bar and Lounge
Anasazi Bar and Lounge fits Santa Fe’s hotel-bar lane: quieter than the rooftop circuit, more composed than the city’s saloon-style rooms, and built around the evening cocktail decision rather than a late-night crowd.
