Denver’s LoHi speakeasy Williams & Graham was included in the prestigious World’s 50 Best Bars in the annual Drinks International ceremony last week in London.
The results were announced by cocktail historian David Wondrich and drinks commentator, Tom Sandha before a 500-strong crowd of the world’s best bartenders, bar owners and industry experts.
The World’s 50 Best Bars is an independent poll, voted for anonymously by 334 industry professionals from 46 countries.
At the event, The World’s 50 Best Bars editor Hamish Smith said: “In terms of countries the US dominated, providing 16 of the top 50. Along with New York, San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans, Miami, Denver and Seattle are all home to bars that made the list.”
W&G co-owner Sean Kenyon (along with Todd Colehour) told Eater Denver (www.denver.eater.com), “We are really psyched about it. There are a lot of lists out there, but every bar owner wants to be on two of them the most. Those two are the top 50 bars in the world and Spirited Awards at Tales of the Cocktails. For Williams & Graham to be nominated as one of the four finalists at Tales and make it in the 50 internationally, it is insane. It means people are taking notice of our city and that is what matters most to me.”
