Since we opened up voting for Milwaukee's best bars and clubs two weeks ago, thousands of readers have chimed in with their picks. Time is running out, so vote now!!

Voting runs through Sunday, Jan. 25, and this year's increased number of nominees and categories have made the contest tighter than ever. Some of the long-time winners in this sixth annual poll continue to lead, but other newcomers are quickly gaining ground.

This is your contest, Milwaukee. It's your chance to tell us who's the best of the best. Vote now and make your favorite watering holes a winner.

We'll announce the winners throughout February, which here at OnMilwaukee.com is a Bar Month extravaganza!
