Cast your vote for the best bartender in town in our Readers' Choice poll.

 

First, let's all give three cheers for the bartenders of the world. Once you've gone out for drinks in a college town, you know these folks have a tough job. 

Now that we've recognized that bartenders deserve our appreciation (and our tips), we'd like to know who your favorites are. We'll crown the winner best bartender in Evanston.

Will it be Cora Thornton-Stocks at Tommy Nevin's, Gavin Gillen at Prairie Moon, Gerri at the Celtic Knot, Jamie at the Celtic Knot, Jermain at Union Pizzeria, Jose at the Hotel Orrington, Kevin at Bar Louie, Kirsten at Bluestone, Kyle Gillan at Prairie Moon, Michael Jeffrey at Tommy Nevin's, Pete Rodriguez at the Firehouse Grill, Rick at The Cellar at the Stained Glass, Rob at Davis Street Fishmarket, Rob Strom at Prairie Moon, Tim at Pete Miller's or Tolman Flannery at Prairie Moon? Cast your vote in the poll below.

Once you've weighed in on this category, please vote in the others. Polls remain open through August 17. After that, we'll crown one winner in each category!

Jose at the Orrington is GREAT. Always good to see a smiling face, never pushy, but always helpful and makes a mean martini! Nice place to be if you want quiet conversation and not a fan of huge crowds.

Readers, in case you wanted to vote for Cora, we had the incorrect information in our story when it was first posted. She's now at Tommy Nevin's, NOT Bar Louie. We sincerely regret the error.

Without a doubt, it would be Tim at Pete Miller's. Not only a first-rate bartender, but an outstanding guitar player and singer. And, he keeps the bar stocked with Hendricks gin.

I am saddened that I don't know every bartender on this list, for apparently I've slackened my duties as the mayor or Kevanston. I promise to visit each one of you independently, make an evaluation, and perhaps invite you to a secret bartending competition. Until then, my vote is split between Cora & Kyle.
