Coa, Hong Kong has achieved the remarkable feat of holding onto the No.1 spot as The Best Bar in Asia for three consecutive years. Established in 2017 by bartender-owner Jay Khan, the bar takes its name from the agave harvesting tool and showcases a vast collection of over 200 bottles of tequila, mezcal, and other handcrafted Mexican spirits like raicilla, bacanora, sotol, and charanda. Coa made its debut on the list in 2019, securing the Highest New Entry Award at No.12 and has been steadily rising in popularity since.

At No.2 is Singapore's Jigger & Pony, also The Best Bar in Singapore for the third year running, and winner of Remy Martin Legend of the List. BKK Social Club is named The Best Bar in Thailand at No.3.

Mark Sansom, Content Director for Asia's 50 Best Bars, says: "We are overjoyed to celebrate Asia's vibrant bar community for the first time in Hong Kong. Congratulations to Jay Khan and the team at Coa for holding onto its top position -- the first bar in Asia to take the No.1 spot for three years in a row."
