Looking for some new bars to check out in your city or even across the country? This year’s list of Canada’s 50 Best Bars was just released. And from the looks of it, there are a ton of bars to enjoy

Last year, the team compiled over a number of experts from across Canada, including a mix of bartenders, proprietors, distillers, brewmasters, educators, and more. They all came together in search of Canada’s best sips from coast to coast – and they dug deep.

For 2024’s list, you may notice that last years winner has lost the title of the best bar in Canada and fell down a number. But as for cities with the most bars on the list, it looks like Toronto kept that title for another year in a row.
