Rank 2. Mesa
Modern Portuguese
The central bar is built to echo a traditional Chinese birdcage, which tells you something about the ambitions here. Mesa is a hotel cocktail bar inside The Karl Lagerfeld at Grand Lisboa Palace, dressed in black and gold and leaning hard into a Portugal-meets-Macau identity. The cocktails follow that same Eurasian thread, with a resident mixologist making the concept feel less like decor and more like a point of view.

Rank 3. The St. Regis Bar, Macau
Cocktail Bar
The house Bloody Mary arrives with chorizo, piri piri, and a miniature egg tart on the side, which tells you most of what you need to know about this cocktail bar inside the St. Regis Cotai. The menu leans into the hotel brand's New York roots while folding in Portuguese Macau at every turn. Live jazz most nights, refined bar snacks, and a room that takes the whole thing seriously without making you feel underdressed for enjoying it.

Rank 4. The Ritz-Carlton Bar & Lounge
Cocktail Bar
The awards

-
A bar opposite the Portuguese consulate that spends its mornings as a stylish café and its evenings chasing rare spirits, Two Moons has a split personality that Macau seems perfectly happy to accommodate. Whisky anchors the shelves, but the collection wanders far beyond Scotland into distillates most bars wouldn't bother stocking. Coffee gets the same careful attention as the cocktails, which sets the tone for how seriously the team takes all of this.

Rank 6. Wing Lei Bar
Cocktail Bar
Mozzarella foam on a cocktail is a statement, and Wing Lei Bar at Wynn Macau is happy to make it. A cocktail bar that spent years doing the respectable hotel-lounge thing before a Scottish mixologist arrived and steered things toward the strange and genuinely exciting. The Unity menu and a rotating guest shift series give the room energy that most hotel bars spend decades pretending to have.
