The UK travel magazine asked mixologists, bartenders and cocktail kingpins to submit their picks. Colin Tait, head bartender of Vesper Cocktail Bar & Restaurant in Bangkok, chose Milk Tiger.

“I know what you’re thinking—’Calgary, cocktails, eh?’—but this is a bar you can definitely call a home away from home,” Tait told the publication. “Milk Tiger is also a great place to meet people, a comfortable space that works for a quiet drink during the week and a bustling good time on Friday night.
