"Bar Month" at OnMilwaukee.com is back for another round! The whole month of February, we're serving up intoxicatingly fun articles on bars and clubs -- including guides, the latest trends, bartender profiles and more. Grab a designated driver and dive in!

The votes are in and the winners have been selected for OnMilwaukee's Best: Bars & Clubs, 2011. Find readers' results in 50 categories, including an editors' pick, in this series of articles that run daily in the Bars and Clubs section of OnMilwaukee.com.

For some, it's a 21st birthday party. For others, it's a burning of the fake ID celebratory ritual. Either way, the blessed occasion is one to mark with a cocktail or six, and OnMilwaukee.com readers think the Safe House is the best place in town to do this.

The spy-themed bar allows you to -- clandestinely or not -- ring in your right to legally drink with a signature cocktail like the Spy's Demise or a simple bottle of something local. As long as you know the password, of course, and you don't touch the wooden heart over Burt Reynold's junk in the women's bathroom. But if you do, we warned you.

If you are planning a 21st birthday party for a friend, consider calling ahead and arranging for the "Hail to the Chief" (if your freshly-legal friend is a male) or  "Her Majesty's Secret Service" (for a female's 21st-birthday) which is an embarrassing and bizarre experience that includes a kidnapping of the birthday boy or girl and their eventual return via a fighter jet pilot's chair that emerges from the basement through the floor of the bar. It's $25, includes a mammoth cocktail and is, clearly, something one must see to be able to fully comprehend.
