Jo-Cat's

Just a month ago, this Brady Street staple was named by Thrillist as the "wildest, most fun" in the entire state of Wisconsin – and apparently you ladies out there agree, as Jo-Cat's was named once again the best bar in Milwaukee for a bachelorette party or girls' night out. 

The family-owned bar took over the title last year after seven-time champ Lucille's closed – and now with its second victory in a row, it seems with have another winning streak on our hands in this category. If that wasn't enough, Jo-Cat's combination of great music and upbeat atmosphere also won over the OnMilwaukee editors, scoring their pick as well. 

However, Jo-Cat's can't get to comfortable because it was a tight race. Only 25 votes separated it from the strong second place finisher, Hamburger Mary's Beercade – which was hotly trailed by Victor's with the bronze medal. Meanwhile, Red Rock Saloon and Balzac rounded out the rest of the tightly contested top five. 

But that's a worry for next year's poll. As for 2018's results, Jo-Cat's can feel free to celebrate and dance the night away.
