2012 Drinker's Choice Nominees
A couple of weeks ago, we asked you, the drinking public of Washington, to step up and nominate your favorite bars, so that we could honor them with accolades and trophies. You made your voices heard by sending in great candidates for Best Beer Bar, Best Cocktail Bar, Best Wings and more, and the results are in! Congratulations to the fine establishments that will face off in our Drinker’s Choice finals. Check them out below, and then go to DrinkDC.com/vote to cast your vote!
