At times it seems you can't go anywhere in Bay View without being a stone's throw from a bar.

From no-nonsense neighborhood corner taps like the Newport to the slick ambience of Tonic Tavern, Bay View's bars are as varied as they are plentiful.

All those options made for a tight race across the board, but when it came to picking Bay View's best bar OnMilwaukee.com's readers chose Palomino, 2491 S. Superior St., as their clear favorite.

With its deep-fryer-reliant food menu, killer jukebox, and Texas roadhouse style Palomino blends the Bay View neighborhood's forward thinking attitude and no frills tradition.
