"Bar Month" at OnMilwaukee.com – brought to you by Hornitos, OR-G, Party Armor, Red Stag, Absolut, Fireball and Malibu – 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, bar reviews 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, 2012. 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.

Passing the time with some friends and a few drinks can make for a fun time, but it won't do much for you if you're hungry.

Thankfully, many Milwaukee bars have your back, offering up everything from M&Ms and peanuts to crispy bacon to stave off hunger pangs out on the town.

The latter comes courtesy of Comet Cafe, this year's OnMilwaukee.com readers' pick for best free bar snacks. Competition was close, but in the end it's hard to stack up against a basket of salty, bacon-y bliss.

Comet takes the top spot away from last year's pick, AJ Bombers. Their "P-nut" bombs put up a good fight, but we're giving the editors' pick nod to Blu for their cashews: the other free bar nut.
