Superbueno

New York

No. 12 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2025, No. 9 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2026, and No. 61 on The 50 Best Bars 2026.

Head Bartender Ignacio "Nacho" Jimenez built this neon-lit Mexican-American bar on First Avenue into the No. 2 spot on North America's 50 Best and No. 12 globally in just two years. The cocktail program bridges Mexico City street flavors with high-specification technique, try the Green Mango Martini, inspired by NYC subway fruit carts, or the Roasted Corn Sour dusted with charred corn powder. The 2025 Spirited Awards handed Superbueno Best U.S. Bar Team (East), and a James Beard nod for Outstanding Cocktail Service sealed the year. Superbueno won Best New U.S. Cocktail Bar at the 2024 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards. Lucha Libre murals, relentless energy, and drinks that hit harder than they have any right to.
