The list for "The World's 50 Best Bars" came out for 2022 and New York landed six spots in the U.S., with two establishments in the top 10.

The rank is measured by Drink Writers, Cocktail Experts, Bartenders and Bar Owners. They must have been to the location they cast a vote for at least once, and they are allowed to submit seven votes — four in their own region, three in another.

From Miami to Chicago, New York takes the crown and each spot has a cozy aesthetic with good eats and craft cocktails. They kept it simple, and you won't feel the need to own a Lamborghini to be welcomed here.

We compiled the ultimate NYC list to give you the perfect go-to guide on where to go when you visit the Big Apple.
