AwardsResolved May 23, 2026by auto-resolver

Summary

The official Tales of the Cocktail Foundation Top 10 list for Best U.S. Cocktail Bar, published May 21, 2026, lists ten venues in New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, but none with a Brooklyn address; the only New York entries are in Manhattan, so there is no Brooklyn venue on the list.
