Bar Month" at OnMilwaukee.com is back for another round! The whole month of February, we're serving up intoxicatingly fun bars and club articles -- including guides, unique features, drink recipes 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, 2009. The results of this readers' poll, including an editors' pick, are available in this series of articles that run all month long in the Bars and Clubs section of OnMilwaukee.com.

There's something about purple velvet booths and a sunken lower bar that prompts a high class ladies night out. So, it's no wonder the Hi-Hat Lounge is the 2009 readers' pick for the best bar for a girl's night out in Milwaukee.

Whether it's cocktails after work or a hot Friday night on the town, you'll find groups of ladies packing into the upper level booths or flooding the long bar downstairs.

From a lengthy martini menu littered with chocolate and fruit filled delicacies to deals on wine each and every night, it seems the menu at the Hi-Hat was made just for the ladies.

OnMilwaukee.com editor's choice on this one is the Third Ward's Cuvee. Located on the upper level of a Broadway Street retail building, Cuvee is tucked out of the way to provide quiet tranquility -- and of course quite a bit of champagne. Perfect for the girl's night out, Cuvee features dozens of champagnes, small plate appetizers and tasty desserts.

OnMilwaukee.com editor's choice: Cuvee
