Since "150 Bars You Need to Visit Before You Die" came out in 2018 (the original "150" title), more than 17,000 copies have been sold. With the passing of the years and the dynamic, fast-changing pace of the global bar scene, Lannoo decided it was time for an updated version in 2022. With an additional 50 new bars, the author helps readers to discover which spots they should visit around the world and why. Whether for their delicious cocktails, unique interiors or authentic atmosphere, these are the bars worth visiting and the drinks worth drinking.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jurgen Lijcops has worked as a sommelier and spirits connoisseur for many years, at a number of highly regarded restaurants. He travels the world regularly, partly to update his knowledge of the most exquisite bars and partly for the fun bit: to drink in them. In 2016 he started Bar Burbure in Antwerp, using years of expertise to craft the most exquisite cocktails and long drinks. That same year it was awarded the title of best bar concept. He was elected best sommelier of Belgium and best host of Belgium twice by Gault Millau.
