With so many bars out there, sometimes it takes a good gimmick to get you in the door.

Whether you're whispering the secret Safe House password or craving an endless basket of bacon at Comet, there are plenty of watering holes in Milwaukee that give you a little extra bang for your buck.

But if you are looking for bells and whistles, OnMilwaukee.com readers say the "I Closed Wolski's" bumper sticker is tops. And frankly, sticking around until bar close and drinking the night away doesn't sound that bad to us, either. We're going with Comet on this one, though, because an ever-abundant supply of bacon is just too good to pass up.
