Our full global guide to the best craft beer bars, city by city.
Serious cocktail rooms, ranked by what they pour.
Honest locals' bars, cheap pours, zero pretense.
The twenty-five taprooms above are the top-rated craft beer bar in each city, not the only good one. They are the anchor picks: the one address to hand a friend who wants a properly kept beer tonight. For the broader ranked list per city, follow the link inside each card.
Rating is the entry point, not the whole story. Each city guide ranks its rooms on tap rotation, glassware, and whether the bar can pour a clean pint. The bars here clear all three.
If a bar here has closed or changed hands, tell us. We keep the page honest by correcting it, not by inventing a replacement.
