PARIS, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Pinnacle Guide - the 1, 2 & 3 PIN recognition system for the world's best cocktail bars - has added five Parisian bars to its revered global list.
With eight PINs between the five award-winning bars - this impressive achievement cements the city's position as a must-visit destination for cocktail enthusiasts. Bar 1802 in Hôtel Montecristo, Little Red Door and The Cambridge Public House were each awarded with 2 PINs (Outstanding) and Candelaria and Le Mary Celeste each awarded 1 PIN (Excellent).
The Pinnacle Guide is considered to be the most comprehensive accolade for cocktail bars globally, rapidly becoming the ultimate symbol of excellence and a trusted resource for discerning drinkers around the world.
The pioneering recognition system was created with the mission to challenge the status quo and is the first to formally reward exemplary standards on both sides of the bar. The Pinnacle Guide first evaluates bars across key criteria, including staff welfare and sustainability efforts. This is followed by multiple in-person anonymous reviews by a global network of industry enthusiasts and experts.
Globally, 31 bars have been newly-recognised with PINs - 25 with 1 PIN and six with 2 PINs. No bar has been awarded 3 PINs, meaning Lyaness in London is still the only 3 PIN bar in the world.
