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.

Once again, OnMilwaukee.com readers picked La Cage as the city's best LGBT bar. Walker's Pint in the Walker's Point neighborhood came in second.

La Cage is Milwaukee's oldest LGBT dance club, with two dance floors, four bars, mega video screens, drag shows, theme nights and new and retro dance songs cranking all night long. Gay, straight or undefined, this club is a fun place to drink, socialize and burn off steam.

Walker's Pint, the OnMilwaukee.com editors' choice for the city's best LGBT bar, is Brew City's longest-running lesbian bar with a down-to-earth feel and fun bartenders. Pool and bar dice are popular activities at the Pint and anyone is welcome.

2 Cents from OMC

It debuted at OnMilwaukee.com`s Annual Bartender Olympics at The Wherehouse last month. And since then copies of our first print partnership have been flying off the shelves.

Best of the west: Leff's

The western suburbs encompasses a lot of municipalities and neighborhoods, so we know this was a difficult category. But, OnMilwaukee.com readers made no bones about their favorite watering hole west of the city limits.

Best south suburb bar

Because not all of Milwaukee`s noteworthy watering holes fall within the city limits, this year we tried something new and decided to give a shout-out to the `burbs. The response was overwhelming and it was a tight race, but in the end Club Paragon, 3578 S. 108th St., in Greenfield, emerged victorious.

You love the Village Pub

The readers of OnMilwaukee.com chose the Village Pub the best bar in Milwaukee`s northern suburbs ... and we agree. In the rapidly growing entertainment area at the intersection of Oakland and Kensington in Shorewood, the Village Pub, 4488 N. Oakland Ave., is a mainstay. It outlasted the old Shorewood Inn, which became The Brit Inn and has been closed since May 2009 because of a fire.
