Emma Sleight: The World’s 50 Best Bars Is an Experience-Driven List. Central and Eastern Europe Is Booming
“One of the biggest misconceptions is that The World’s 50 Best Bars is based more on popularity than on experience. In reality, at its core, it’s very much an experience-driven list. It’s important to understand that guest shifts and pop-ups are not eligible for voting. We always say you should deliver the best possible experience to every guest who walks through your door. Try to see the award as a by-product of that hard work, rather than the end goal itself,” says Emma Sleight, Head of Content and Creative at the prestigious The World’s 50 Best Bars ranking.
