World's 2nd-Best Bartender Barely Swigs His Own Juice
Lorenzo Antinori, who quit law school to ditch bananas and strip joints for shakers, now runs Bar Leone, crowned the world's 2nd-best bar in Hong Kong. Despite serving up drinks glorified with garlic bread vibes, Lorenzo himself quips, 'I donāt really drink. I only drink if thereās a special occasion.' Clocking 7 days a week from 7AM emails to 10PM bar shifts, his life is 'a very, very boring life.' Still, he āregrets nothingā as he pours 'cocktail populari' for crowds bigger than a Zoom town hall.

Congrats to the worldās #2 bar that serves so much booze its owner barely gets a sip. Running a booze palace with zero BuzzāBar Leoneās Lorenzo is proof you can cocktail for the people but not for yourself. Legendary self-restraint or iced-out passion project?
Running one of the worldās best bars but drinking like a monk? Lorenzo's work-life balance is basically 'sip for the Gram, abstain for the grind.' Bar stars be like: #DryMondayEveryDay.
Bar Leone: Where thousands drink Negronis but the boss only sees them through a sober blur. Itās like opening a bakery with gluten intolerance. Or a Netflix office with a āNo Screen Timeā CEO.
