Since 2010 – curated coverage of the best cocktail and culinary venues and events

 

September 15th, 2025

 

This month marks the 15th year since our website asia-bars.com published its first digital articles online – and we would like to sincerely thank  all those who have supported our publication – our valued readers, social media followers, and all the F&B professionals we have interacted with over the years.

Since the early days of publication, our core concept and principles remain unchanged – to publish carefully curated articles about venues and events that we believe offer consistent qualities of service, style and execution to a discerning clientele.We have not sought to cover every new opening or promotion – focussing instead on seeking out excellence and consistency. Wherever possible – venues featured have been visited by us in person – and original images used in articles taken by our photographers.
