Europe’s
50 Best Bars
— with Dunlin Bar right in it.
Europe’s new ranking — with Dunlin Bar right in it.
Europe’s 50 Best Bars is the new European ranking from the „50 Best“ organisation, one of the most influential institutions in the global hospitality and bar scene. Alongside the European list, there are already established rankings for the world’s best bars as well as regional editions for Asia, North America and South America.
There is no application or registration process for getting in the list. Bars cannot nominate themselves or actively register for a placement. Instead, the ranking is compiled by an independent Academy made up of several hundred anonymous industry experts such as renowned bartenders, bar owners, journalists and international cocktail experts. The rating is based on actual visits and personal experience.
A placement in Europe’s 50 Best Bars is widely regarded as one of the most significant marks of quality within the international bar scene. The list attracts great attention worldwide from trade media, travellers and guests, and is often seen as an important guide to exceptional bar experiences.
Dunlin and Tyrol
For Dunlin Bar, being included in Europe’s 50 Best Bars marks a milestone in its still young history. The listing is among the most significant international awards in the bar scene and places the work of the entire team on an international stage.
At the same time, the impact of such an award reaches far beyond the bar itself. The inclusion of a Tyrolean bar in this renowned ranking draws international attention to Innsbruck and the whole region. For Tyrol as a tourism destination, it is a strong signal that top-quality bar culture is found not only in European metropolises like London, Paris, Athens or Barcelona, but also in the Alps. International guests increasingly rely on such rankings when choosing their destinations, so a listing also contributes to Tyrol’s visibility as a modern destination for fine drinking and hospitality.
The first bar from Austria
With its inclusion in Europe’s 50 Best Bars, Dunlin Bar sets a significant milestone for Austrian bar culture. As things stand, it is the first Austrian bar to be included in the newly created “50 Best Europe 2026” ranking.
