Ahead of the announcement of The World’s 50 Best Bars 2023 on 17 October 2023, the extended list of 51 to 100 entries has been revealed.

Founded by Jimmy Barrat (pictured) in 2022, Dubai-based Ergo came in at number 69, and is the only bar in the Middle East to make the list.

Originally housed in the Dubai Edition hotel, Ergo announced temporary closure during the summer of 2023. An Ergo pop-up can now be found at Fairmont The Palm.

The World’s 50 Best Bars is decided by a voting panel comprising 680 independent drinks experts, including renowned bartenders, hospitality consultants, drinks writers and cocktail specialists.

This year’s edition will see The World’s 50 Best Bars 2023 awards event leave Europe for the first time as it continues its mission to spotlight the world’s great cocktail cities. The 15th edition of the event will be held in Singapore.
