Dante has risen eight places from last year to scoop the top prize while London’s Connaught finished second and Argentina’s Florería Atlántico completed the podium.
“We’ve had an incredible year at Dante but this award really goes to the staff members, past and present, which have made this possible. We just try and make the best drinks we can, with the best service in a cool spot in New York’s Greenwich Village,” said Dante owner Linden Pride.
