Singapore Scoops Seven Spots On Asia’s 50 Best Bars 51-100 List

Singapore's cocktail scene has once again proved it's one of Asia's strongest, with seven local bars landing on the newly released Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026 extended 51-100 list. Better yet, two Singapore venues are making their debut, with newcomer BOP (Bartenders of Pony) earning the highest-ranking new entry across the entire extended list at an impressive No.52.

BOP, the Jigger & Pony Group's Korean-inspired cocktail dining concept, has been turning heads with playful drinks, bold Korean flavours and a refreshingly casual take on the bar experience. Joining the newcomers is Bar Bon Funk in New Bahru, which debuts at No.90 after quickly becoming one of the city's buzziest spots for natural wine and cocktails.

Familiar favourites also continue to fly the flag for the Lion City. Side Door holds strong at No.57, while Little India-inspired cocktail destination The Elephant Room returns to the rankings at No.58. Elsewhere, Native lands at No.80, Cat Bite Club comes in at No.86, and Stay Gold Flamingo also makes a welcome return at No.97, highlighting the depth and diversity of Singapore's bar scene.  

Released ahead of the main Asia's 50 Best Bars awards ceremony in Macau on 28 July, the extended rankings celebrate venues placed between No.51 and No.100. This year's list spans 25 cities across Asia and features 11 new entries, with Singapore tying for one of the strongest representations in the region.

The full Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026 rankings will be revealed later this month, when we'll find out which Singapore bars have secured coveted spots in the top 50. If this extended list is anything to go by, the Lion City's cocktail scene is showing no signs of slowing down.
