Does your favorite bar always get shut out of “best of” lists? Do you think the critics are crazy when it comes to picking the top places to get great beers, wine or cocktails? This is your chance to set the record straight. Drink Baltimore’s annual Drinker’s Choice Awards start Tuesday, February 19, and you — the drinkers of Baltimore — get to nominate and vote for the winners.

From February 19–24, you’ll have a chance to nominate bars in seven categories, including Best Beer Selection, Best Bar Food, Best Drink Specials and more. We’ll take the top 10 nominees in each division and enter them in a final round, with winners decided via popular vote.

Bars who want to win can download a printable flyer (here, PDF) and an image for social media (here) so they can encourage customers to vote for them. So if you want your favorite pub to have a chance, be sure to let them know to visit our site for more info and promotion.

The categories for this year’s contest are as follows:

• Best Beer Selection
• Best New Bar of 2012
• Best Bar Food
• Best Drink Specials
• Best Cocktail Program
• Best Wine Program
• Best Local Brewery

Which bars will make the cut? It's all up to you. Cast your vote at drinkbaltimore.com/vote.
