Sister Ray is named as one of the UK’s top 50 cocktail bars yet again

Sister Ray on Wolstenholme Square has been named in the list for the second consecutive year

The team at Sister Ray are celebrating again being part of the prestigious top 50 best cocktail bars in the UK.

It’s the second time Sister Ray has been included in The Top 50 Cocktail Bars list. This is in testament to how the alluring and discreet space has become Liverpool’s defining social hotspot since launching in May 2024, where exceptional cocktails and genre-spanning music are found.

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.”

The Top 50 Cocktail Bars list is compiled by the bar industry to create a unique list of venues by those in the know. The list is compiled by over 200 industry experts which make up the voting academy, from bartenders and owners, to drinks writers and influencers. This helps to curate an extra special list which has something for every type of drinker.

Sister Ray’s position in the new list is revealed in February 2026 at The Underglobe in Shakespeare’s Globe, London.
