(CNN) — Move over London. Step aside New York. There's a new cosmopolitan cocktail capital: Barcelona is home to Paradiso, the newly crowned world's best bar.
For the first time since the World's 50 Best Bars list was created in 2009, a bar outside of New York or London earned the No. 1 spot on the list.
Paradiso, from owners Giacomo Giannotti and Margarita Sader, is a Mediterranean-style speakeasy, entered through the freezer door of a pastrami bar in Barcelona's trendy El Born district. The bar moved up from No. 3 in 2021.
