Singapore’s bars made their mark on Asia’s 50 Best Bars list. Singapore bars took place in eleven of the top fifty lines, followed by Hong Kong, represented by eight bars. Japan, Thailand, South Korea and India entered the list with five bars, while China was represented with four bars, while Taiwan and Malaysia were represented with two bars each. Smoke & Bitters, ranked 42nd on the list, broke new ground and entered the list representing Sri Lanka.
