The Bar Journal

The 2012 World’s 50 Best Bars list has been announced  last night by the UK Trade Magazine Drink International during a wonderful event in London.

Once again continuity and consistency in costumers service and quality cocktails has been rewarded.

This year, the Artsian Bar head by the greatest Alex Kretena took the 1st place,  New York speakeasy PDT (Please Don’t Tell) took the second, with London most innovative bar Nightjar achieved the 3rd place after only 2 years since open the door in 2010.

Bars such The Connaught, The American Bar at Savoy and Zetter Town, 69 Calebrooke and Callow Callay  where proudly  in the best 10 .

But what about italian bars ?

Although Italy is not the centre focus these days, The Nottingham Forest in Milan run by the “MAESTRO” Dario Comini took the 41st place and was the only italian cocktail bar in the list.

Well, deserve it I’d like to say: creativity, knowledge and costumers service are unique,  probably  the most innovative cocktail bar in Europe.

Unfortunately the rest of peninsula is out of the radar but perhaps Dario Comini and team will drive as inspiration for the young talents and hopefully we will see a little bit more of tricolore during these grey evening in the Britain Capital, who definitely is the Capital of the Cocktail in the World.

SALUTE !
