All the Canadian spots named among North America's 50 Best Bars in 2026

We’ve already seen the longlist, but now, North America’s 50 Best Bars has just revealed its new ranking for 2026.

In March, the 51-100 place lineup was revealed, with spots in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, and Victoria all clinching places.

Now, positions one to 50 have been revealed in a prestigious ceremony in Vancouver on April 22. The highest-ranked spot in Canada was The Keefer Bar in Vancouver, which broke the top 10 at number seven, closely followed by Toronto’s Bar Pompette in eighth place.

To produce the list, each bar is ranked, gathering votes from more than 300 industry experts, including bartenders, bar owners, drinks media and cocktail connoisseurs from Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean, with a 50/50 gender balance.
