Story highlights Annual world's 50 best bar awards announced at ceremony in London2016 top 50 winners include bars from 27 cities in 20 countries(CNN) Drinks in London could be mixed with freshly poured tears this Friday after the city was stripped of its status as the cocktail capital of the world. Ending four years of dominance by London's Artesian, New York City's Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog was crowned as the world's best bar at an awards ceremony in London. "It feels like training to win the Olympic gold, and you win," says Sean Muldoon, co-owner of Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog. "We take everything we do seriously and we strive to do the best that we can...we've tried repeatedly to win this award, but it's good to finally win." The Manhattan-based bar has closely trailed Artesian for years, having placed second in 2014 and 2015.
