Drinkers, assemble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once a year we give our list of the best bars in London a massive overhaul. That time is now. We\u2019ve just launched our brand new top 50 of the finest places to drink in London<\/a>.\u00a0The new list features places old and new, posh and divey, cheap and pricey, but all of them with great drinks and an unparalleled vibe.<\/p>\n Our new list also has a brand new number one. Congratulations to Caf\u00e9 Kick<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0at Exmouth Market, which is Time Out\u2019s best bar in London for 2026. The breezy Euro-chic sports bar currently seems to be more popular than ever, despite opening almost 30 years ago. It\u2019s pretty much down to this unobtrusive spot that this pedestrianised Clerkenwell strip is as popular as it is, kicking off the area\u2019s fresco wave of streetside delights way back in 1997.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2018If the Spanish Riviera and old school east London had a baby, Caf\u00e9 Kick would be it,\u2019 writes Time Out drinks correspondent\u00a0Eloise Feilden of the five-star bar.\u00a0<\/p>\n \ud83c\udf78\u00a0Read the full top 50 best bars in London list here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The top 50 also features Waltz<\/a>, Shoreditch, which we\u2019ve crowned the best cocktail bar in London, as well Big John\u2019s Biltong Bar<\/a> in Deptford, which is our best dive bar. Our highest ranking wine bar is Bonne Route<\/a> in Harringey, while the best neighbourhood bar is Ellie\u2019s<\/a> in Dalston.<\/p>\n The honour of best new bar in London has gone to Tramps<\/a> in Islington, which acclaimed artist Peter Doig and his gallerist partner Parinaz Mogadassi opened at the beginning of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n Take a look at our rankings of the best bars in Soho<\/strong>,<\/a> the best bars in Shoreditch<\/a><\/strong>, the best bars in Peckham<\/a><\/strong> and the best bars in Hackney<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> Like bars?
