Get ready to swirl, sip, and swoon, because Asia’s bar scene has officially entered its most thrilling chapter yet. While the cocktail elite are gearing up for the grand unveiling of the Top 50 in glitzy Macau on July 15, let’s talk about the bars that just missed the cut — and are all the cooler for it. These are the hidden gems, the underground sensations, the places that don’t scream for attention but get it anyway because, well, they're just that good. Welcome to the 51–100 list of Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025, presented by Perrier — a lineup that’s equal parts liquid innovation, quirky presentation, and good old-fashioned fun. From India’s bold showing to Seoul’s sci-fi chic, this is your official cheat sheet to the bars where you won’t just drink... you’ll remember the drink. 🍹 🆕 New Entrants, New Energy: The Bars Everyone’s Talking About If 2025 has a bar motto, it’s this: Go big or go bespoke. Osaka’s Bar Nayuta (No.100) doesn’t do menus or mainstream — here, your drink is tailored to your aura. Not your vibe? Then fly over to Jakarta, where The Golden Tooth (No.98) offers minimalist cocktails in brutalist interiors, made for sipping and soul-searching. Meanwhile, Shanghai’s Pony Up (No.97) is the bar equivalent of your fanciest equestrian dreams. Think highball sophistication meets horse-stable chic 🐎. And if you’re ever in Bangkok, don’t skip Messenger Service (No.90) — it’s part grandma’s lounge, part cocktail lab, with drinks that star tuna flakes and chilli oil. We told you this list was wild. Fun Fact: Lab (No.57, Taipei) believes in beauty through clarity — its drinks are so refined, they often come colourless. Yes, even the Negroni. 🎭 The Theatrics Are Real: Bars That Deserve an Encore Asia’s bars have taken a cue from Broadway — the experience matters as much as the drink. At Sora (No.65, Phnom Penh), anime lovers can down a Dragonball Z-themed “Z Ball” while debating Goku’s best transformation. In Tokyo, Tokyo Confidential (No.70) has done the unthinkable — created a hotdog-flavoured martini. It’s called the Glizztini, and it’s... surprisingly elegant 🌭🍸. Then there’s Obsidian Bar (No.51, Shenzhen), a three-storey high marvel in one of the tallest buildings on earth — because why settle for less? Fun Fact: Seoul’s Pine & Co (No.52) features drinks with edible bugs, including the “Ant Love Corn.” You’ll either love it… or politely pass it along 🐜. 🇮🇳 Desi Pride: India’s Rising Bar Stars India is no stranger to cocktail cool — and 2025 proves it again. Delhi’s Sidecar (No.62) holds strong with its artisanal speakeasy spirit, while The Bombay Canteen (No.69) reimagines Indian flavours like Himalayan honey and kokum into high-style pours. But the real twist? Goa makes a double splash. Hideaway (No.94) returns with its moody, jazz-soaked evenings and moody lighting. And Bar Outrigger (No.55) debuts with a nautically inspired, rum-forward experience that feels like stepping into a Goan shipwreck fantasy 🛳️🍹. Cheers to homegrown flair meeting international finesse! 🥂 🌍 Travel by Glass: From Seoul to Sri Lanka Feel like crossing borders without a boarding pass? Seoul’s Charles H (No.96) whisks you back to 1920s NYC with Prohibition-era swagger. Hanoi’s The Hudson Rooms (No.86) takes you on a liquid road trip across the U.S., one iconic city at a time. In the island paradise of Sri Lanka, Raa (No.84) turns the humble toddy — traditionally tapped from palm trees — into an artisanal beachside delight 🌴. Who knew arrack could taste this sophisticated? Fun Fact: Under Lab (No.73, Taipei) once combined clam juice, jasmine tea, and mezcal — and yes, someone went back for seconds. 🤘 Where Cool Gets Curious Ever wondered what a cocktail bar with a dinosaur skeleton looks like? Head straight to The Haflington (No.87, Hanoi). The drinks are strong and the fossil game is stronger 🦕. In Bangkok, Craftroom (No.58) offers front-row seats to mixology theatre — only six guests at a time — with drinks like the Grasshopper being served mid-performance. And in case you’re off alcohol? Mostly Harmless (No.88, Manila) has gone zero-proof in 2025, serving complex, layered drinks without a trace of booze. The name’s a nod to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and the menu is every bit as cosmic. 💌 Hidden Doors & Whispered Secrets Want to impress your friends with the ultimate “you have to know someone” bar? Try Side Door (No.53, Singapore), which began as a private supper club and now hides top-tier cocktails behind velvet curtains. In Ho Chi Minh City, Stir (No.61) is hidden within an old-school building and serves up flavour stories inspired by Vietnam’s Red River Delta. Expect lemongrass, fish sauce hints, and, strangely enough, fried chicken paired with soju bombs 🍗. Seoul’s Soko (No.54) merges 1920s opulence with modern Korean flair — think bergamot cold brew, cherry vermouth, and a playlist worth Shazaming. 🧪 Curious Ingredients Club: For the Brave (and Thirsty) Where else will you find: Jellyfish Martinis at Fura, Singapore (No.95)? ✔️ Pickled peanut & tamarind cocktails at Mahaniyom, Bangkok (No.71)? ✔️ Curry leaf Margaritas at Pantja, Jakarta (No.68)? Absolutely ✔️ Peanut butter Manhattans at Bee’s Knees, Kyoto (No.76)? Deliciously ✔️ And at The Opposites, Hong Kong (No.80)? Every cocktail has two versions. Sour vs sweet. Strong vs delicate. You vs your alter ego 🥊🍸 Fun Fact: Some drinks here are so experimental, they get updated seasonally like fashion collections. 🌟 What’s Next? The countdown to the main list is on. The final Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025 list drops on 15 July at Wynn Palace, Macau. But don’t wait until then to start exploring. These 51–100 bars are still under the radar — which means shorter queues, better seats, and more time to talk to the bartender about why your drink smells like a campfire in Darjeeling 🍵🔥. Because sometimes, the bars that don’t top the list are the ones that top your memories ❤️ Ready, steady, cheers! 🥂
