World’s 50 Best: Baxter Inn best bar in Australasia

50bestbars_baxter_inn

The Baxter Inn, Sydney, has moved up one place in this year’s World’s 50 Best Bars, at a ceremony held in London overnight.

The Baxter Inn claimed the 7th place in the world, knocking the Black Pearl from its perch as the best bar in Australasia.

Bulletin Place improved its position on the list by seven spots, climbing to 19th on the list. There were 14 new entries to make the list this year, and some of these saw both The Everleigh (number 30) and Eau de Vie Sydney (31st) slide six places. Melbourne’s The Black Pearl came in at 37th on the list, and Sydney bar, Shady Pines Saloon came in at 48th.

Perhaps the best result for an Aussie on the list was Attaboy in New York, co-owned by ex-pat Aussie Sam Ross. Attaboy moved up a whopping 38 places this year to pick up the 4th spot on the list. Another Australian doing well was Iain Griffiths, who, along with Ryan Chetiyawardana, runs the 20th-placed White Lyan in London.

But it was The Artesian at the Langham that once again — for the third year in a row — took out the number one spot.
