Share places the editors should research.
Share between one and ten bars nominations. Base every choice on your own recent experience rather than reputation, publicity or hearsay.
Individual responses remain confidential. Public nominations are editorial intelligence only: they never create Academy membership, voting rights, ranking value or publication.
How bar nominations work
Nominate from experience, in your own order of preference.
Nominate the bars that gave you the most memorable recent drinking experiences. Consider the bar as a complete destination: drinks, service, atmosphere, identity and consistency. The geographic scope for this nomination call is Asia.
What belongs in your nominations
- You must have visited every bar you recommend within the previous 24 months.
- The experience must have taken place at the permanent bar itself, not at a pop-up, guest shift or off-site event.
- Nominate the bar, not an individual bartender, owner or bar group.
- Do not include a bar you own, work for, represent, advise or hold a financial interest in.
What happens to a public nomination
The submission becomes a research lead for the stated category and region. It does not become a calculated ranking value, a member ballot or a promise of coverage.
Academy applications are reviewed separately. Only an appointed member can access the official ballot, which records dates, funding and conflicts for every listed place.
