Bon Vivants, the Bahamian café and craft cocktail bar, in the ‘50 Best Discovery’ rankings for 2025.

The business, in a statement, said the rankings are an extension of the globally-renowned 50 Best organisation, which publishes the celebrated World’s 50 Best Bars rankings. 50 Best Discovery features restaurants, bars and hotels based on the most recent round of voting for its 50 Best rankings. 

“We are so thrilled to be part of 50 Best Discovery” said Kyle Jones, co-founder and managing director of Old Pal Hospitality, which includes Bon Vivants as well as The Dilly Club in Atlantis’ Marina Village

“This recognition is a testament to the incredible work and vision of our team, and the overwhelming support from both the local and international community over the last five years. We’ve had a blast showcasing Bahamian hospitality and craftsmanship on the global stage, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Bon Vivants said the recognition is a mark of distinction reserved for establishments that exemplify exceptional quality, innovation and hospitality on a global scale.

Since opening in 2019 as a true craft cocktail bar, Bon Vivants said it has achieved two regional top-ten honours from the globally-recognised Tales of The Cocktail Spirited Awards - one in 2020 as Best New International Cocktail Bar, and the other in 2024 as Best International Cocktail Bar. Both were for the Latin American and Caribbean region.

Bon Vivants serves locally-roasted espresso beverages by day and meticulously-crafted cocktails by night, including many inspired by the culture and flavours of The Bahamas. It has a broad selection of pre-prohibition classic cocktails, and a range of some of the world’s best spirits.

Bon Vivants has partnered with top international bars and bartenders, including the World’s 50 Best-listed Scarfes Bar in London, Etérea in New York, and Christian ‘Suzu’ Suzuki.
