The ninth edition of this prestigious awards unveiled the winners in a glittering live ceremony at the Rosewood Hotel in Hong Kong on July 16, 2024, sponsored by Perrier.

The Curator is described as an “excellent hostelry, once known as The Curator Coffee and Cocktails and now simply The Curator, is dedicated to two of the very finest things in life: caffeinated beverages and mixed drinks. Since its 2016 opening in Legaspi Village, Makati, it has been in and around the 50 Best list, this year winning the accolade as The Best Bar in the Philippines for a fourth time,”

Asia’s 50 Best Bars celebrates the amazing talent and creativity in the world of mixology all over the continent. This year, competition has been fierce with Hong Kong’s Bar Leone bagging the number one spot. South Korean Zest slotted in second place, and Singapore’s Jigger & Pony is at third place.
