Here are the Indian bars that feature in Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025 extended list
The Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025 has released its extended 51-100 list. Three bars from India have made the cut. Sidecar in Delhi is on 62, The Bombay Canteen in Mumbai at 69, and Goa's Hideaway at 94. The list is voted on by Asia's 50 Best Bars Academy, made up of a group of 300-plus industry professionals and connoisseurs. This extended cut is released two weeks before the top 50 names will be announced. Sidecar is an award-winning bar led by mixologist Yangdup Lama. It has been on the list previously. It has also topped the list for the Best Bar in India. The extended list has this to say about the bar, 'Bar legend Yangdup Lama and business partner Minakshi Singh's bar, Sidecar, has become a household name in India. Positioned as a 'friendly neighbourhood bar' in the style of a speakeasy in the heart of New Delhi, signature creations and beautiful iterations of its namesake are all noteworthy, alongside a great food menu to pair.' Mumbai's The Bombay Canteen is 'all about celebrating the diverse pantry of the Indian subcontinent. Seasonality guides the food and drink offering, with dishes taking a contemporary approach to Indian cuisine, and cocktails opting for a more traditional route of reimagined classics, such as its bee's knees made with Himalayan honey.' The Lower Parel-based restaurant was also on the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants extended list at number 91. 'Part cafe, part music venue, part bar: Hideaway has it all. Music is a core focus of the bar, with a rotating showcase of jazz and contemporary artists, but its cocktail offering is just as notable, with drinks such as the Babylon (vodka, passion fruit, coconut water, lemongrass oil) a delicious reflection of local flavours,' the list says about Vagator-based Hideaway. Apart from the Indian bars, the list has 14 new entries from across Asia. The list cover 23 cities, with six bars from Singapore, and Seoul, Shanghai, Taipei and Tokyo represented by four bars each. The top 50 Best Bars in Asia list will be released at live awards ceremony in Macau on July 15. Watch this space for more
