'I'm really chuffed' - Liverpool bar named among UK's Top 50 for second time
Sister Ray, a popular Liverpool cocktail bar, celebrates making the UK's Top 50 Cocktail Bars list for the second time.
The annual Top 50 Cocktail Bars list has become a respected guide to the best places for a tasty tipple, with the first list published in June 2018. The bars on the list are voted for by hundreds of experts, bartenders, bar owners and drinks writers, and it features venues from towns and cities all around the UK.
The newest list will be revealed in February 2026, with the featured bars finding out their rankings at a prestigious ceremony. But, the team at Liverpool’s Sister Ray have announced they have made the cut for the second time, after launching in May last year.
Sister Ray’s owner Chris Edwards says: “Myself and my brilliant team are incredibly proud to be on this magnificent list for the second year running.
“It felt special to be amongst so many inspiring bars across the UK the first time around, so to be in the mix again is really something to cherish.

“We pride ourselves on the quality of our cocktails and music programming and this is reflected by the regulars and new guests we welcome each week.
“My team work exceptionally hard and we all want to say huge thanks to everyone in Liverpool and beyond who supports us. This is off the back of launching Simone’s on Queen Avenue a few weeks ago which has been embraced by the city too, so I’m really chuffed right now.”
