Looking for your next go-to drink spot?
Two Victoria bars have been ranked among the top 100 best bars across North America, according to The World’s 50 Best.
With spots in Miami, Mexico City, Honolulu and fellow Canadian cities like Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal, the list showcases the best bars across the continent—and Victoria has earned its place.
Humboldt Bar, located inside the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites on Humboldt Street, landed at number 53 of 100 for its nature-inspired cocktails and tribute to 19th-century naturalist Alexander von Humboldt.

The Tree Hugger is a standout example of its themed drinks—made with cacao butter-washed vodka, then mixed with wine aperitif, toasted amaranth and egg white.
The second bar to make the list is Citrus & Cane, which ranked 87th overall and was praised for its tropical atmosphere that provides “island escapism” through fruity and rum-based cocktails. Specific drinks include their signature daiquiri or Every Day Mai Tai.

Citrus & Cane just closed their Douglas Street location over the weekend, on March 29th, but will be relocating in downtown Victoria’s Trounce Alley. The anticipated reopening will come sometime this spring.
From historic homages to tropical getaways, Victoria clearly offers some of the best bars for any occasion.
The list released by The World’s 50 Best only covers the top 100 to 51 best bars in North America, with the remainder of the list set to be released at a live awards ceremony in Vancouver on April 22nd.
Come April 22nd, Victorians will see if any other local hotspot has made the prestigious list.
