On Thursday, the World’s 50 Best Bars awards announced that New York City aperitivo bar Dante is the 2019 winner of the title “world’s best bar.” 

The 11th annual World’s 50 Best Bars awards took place at the Roundhouse in London. The list features bars from 26 cities from 21 countries, and was put together by 510 drink experts from 58 countries.

Originally opened as Caffé Dante in 1915, the bar reopened in 2015 and has since become a popular destination for classic cocktails, as well as Italian comfort food. Earlier this year, Dante also claimed the honor of World Best Bar and the Best American Restaurant Bar at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards in New Orleans.
