Bar Leone, an Italian cocktail spot in Hong Kong, has maintained its number-one ranking in the Asia’s 50 Best bars list for the second year in a row.
The 2025 rankings, compiled through votes by a panel of industry players from the Asia region, were announced in the evening of July 15 at an awards ceremony held at the Wynn Palace resort in Macau.
During the Macau ceremony, Bar Leone founder Lorenzo Antinori took to the stage with his team members, Justin Shun Wah and Wing Lo.
Wah said that the moment was especially meaningful to him because he was born in Hong Kong to a Macanese mother.
“This, for me, is something I would never have imagined. We could not be more happy. We couldn’t be more surprised.
