On the town in Milwaukee: Selecting your evening's soundtrack
In the last 10 years, we've seen the death of old school jukeboxes and the rise of iPods, satellite radio and Touchtune systems capable of bringing you any song in just seconds. We've switched from AM/FM radio play to Sirius/XM radio and in turn, given ourselves millions of choices. In short, we've increased our options but also blended and broadened the genres.

Best bar in Bay View, 2009: Palomino
Good is an understatement for 2009's top vote getter: Palomino, 2491 S Superior St. It's not the oldest bar in the neighborhood, but it's one of the first to pull in drinkers from all over the city. Flanked by Cactus Club and Club Garibaldi, it's on the hypotenuse of the neighborhood's little triangle of cool.

Milwaukee's best bartenders, 2009: Palomino
A good bartender is hard to find. Here in Brew City, suds slingers come a dime a dozen (they almost have to with the number of bars, taverns, clubs and pubs we have) and most of them get the job done. But how often do you walk away, drink in hand, with the rare but distinct feeling of being truly taken care of by your barkeep?

Milwaukee's best bar games, 2009: Landmark Lanes
Landmark Lanes wins the readers' choice award for best bar games in Milwaukee and by doing so, confirms what we were all thinking. It might be old school but it's hard to find another bar with the sheer quantity of games found underground at Landmark Lanes.

Milwaukee's best bar district, 2009: Bay View
The fact that Bay View won the readers' choice award for best Milwaukee bar district really says something about this up-and-coming neighborhood. Five years ago, you'd find plenty of bars in the South Side neighborhood, but almost everyone who patronized them lived down the street.
