Dandelyan in London was crowned No. 1 bar in the world at the World’s 50 Best Bars this year, but you won’t be able to experience the high-end establishment that serves cocktails that make you think.
“Happy Birthday Dandelyan – AND GOODBYE! It feels fitting on our 4th birthday to kill off our now-eldest venue,” he said, adding that due to a shift in “landscape” and “conversation,” there are plans to open a different business in the same space.
The World’s 50 Best Bars is curated by 510 drink writers, bartenders, and “cocktail aficionados” in 58 countries. Each voter may cast seven votes and a minimum of three must be for bars located outside the country they live in. Each participant also must have visited the bar at least once in the previous 18 months. This year’s results were announced at an awards ceremony in London on October 3.
