Our annual Best of Winnipeg survey is a group effort.

This year, things got rolling way back in December, when Uptown editor John Kendle passed around last year's list of 90 categories for Best of Winnipeg 2008. Some categories were dropped, some were added, some were renamed, but no one was hurt in the process. we think.

Then, it was your turn. The final ballot was published in the paper and posted online and, for three months, any Winnipegger with a pen and some basic literacy skills - or access to a computer - had the opportunity to sound off about the people and places that make our city cool.

In early May, Red River creative communications students Brenlee Coates and Vanessa Kunderman began tabulating the 800-plus ballots - because mindless grunt work is what interns and students get to do around here. Theirs was an extremely time-consuming and meticulous task, which is why we finally gave up listening to their whining and let them finish up over a weekend at home.

For days they painstakingly sifted through stacks of barely legible handwritten entries, trying to decide if "'80s Night" was in reference to a particular club, or just in general. Occasionally, there were a few laughs in response to your, um, creative license, perhaps best demonstrated by the many, many votes for Red Lobster as Best Place to Take a Date.

When the official count was finished, it was time for more busywork. All the top finishers we could find were contacted, congratulated and then photographed by Uptown's Nick Friesen, who was happy to take a break from his usual gigs as filmmaker, editor and website honcho, and actually get outside for once.

Next, addresses and phone numbers were confirmed - but still we weren't finished.

Rather than force Uptown staff writer Jen Zoratti to write 90 informative and insightful blurbs about your top picks (she was an intern, too, once, and wrote 80 of 'em for Best of Winnipeg 2006), the job was divvyed up almost equitably amongst staff and our erstwhile freelance writer/comedians, Mike Sherby, Jared Story and John Towns.

(Kendle got away with doing very few. Not just because he's the boss. We were simply afraid to ask him. Every time we brought it up, he would mutter darkly about something called a Sou'wester.)

The resultant exercise in writing short, concise and to-the-point paragraphs about winners in various categories proved a particularly vexing ordeal for Marlo Campbell, Uptown's other staff writer and a woman who has trouble writing less than 700 words on any given topic at the best of times.

The finish line was near. Most spelling and grammatical errors were corrected (we hope), Marlo's blurbs were cut in half and our collective literary genius was handed over to Uptown art director Karl Thomsen for the final leg of the journey. Fresh from a relaxing two-week break in the U.K., Karl was put directly into the firing line upon his return when he was asked to lay out the biggest issue of the year in double-time. Using his Jedi-like mastery of the visual arts (and aided by soothing Buddhist chanting on his trusty iPod), Karl put everything together in a way that not only made sense but also looked good.

At last, our job is over. You now hold 2009's finished product in your hands (unless, of course, you're reading this online, in which case you might want to thank Mike Goreski, our elusive web master and former-rock-star-in-charge-of-all-things -cyber-related). We know the results of this year's Best of Winnipeg readers' poll will generate lively debate and possibly some anger, but hey, don't blame us - this is as much yours as ours.

Whether you agree or disagree, this survey reflects your opinions about the city we all call home.

And this year there were a few surprises, too, especially in our Winnipeg People categories. Our winners for Hottest Man, Hottest Woman, Most Outrageous Winnipegger and Favourite Politician were people who, we assume, were being unsuspectingly pranked by their oh-so-loving friends. However, if any of them do want to contact us and get their 15 minutes of fame (or at least their pictures in Uptown), they are more than welcome to do so.

Until next year's poll, thanks for taking the time to be a part of the experience.

- Uptown Staff


1. Best Service
1) Earls
Several Winnipeg locations
While we have a sneaking suspicion that many of you may have voted for this one because of the servers' famous 'assets,' we're willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. One of the reasons Earls is such a successful chain must have something to do with the friendly, attentive service you're bound to receive - but the famed Earls Girls probably don't hurt, either.

2) Joey's
635 St. James St., 339-5639; 1550 Kenaston Blvd., 477-5369
3) Eat! Bistro
274 Garry St., 949-1231

2. Best Ethnic Restaurant
1) East India Company
349 York Ave. 947-3097
The East India Company offers diners more curried food options than you can shake a buttered chicken at. This family-owned-and-operated restaurant has been serving you the best India has to offer for over 35 years. Its combination of great service and even better food has made it one of Winnipeg's, and even Canada's, finest restaurants.

2) Charisma
83 Sherbrook St., 222-7878
3) Massawa
200-121 Osborne St., 284-3194

3. Best New Restaurant
1) Eat! Bistro
274 Garry St. 949-1231
A restaurant inside a used bookstore? You'd have to be crazy to try a thing like that! But nestled inside Aqua Books you'll find Winnipeg's newest culinary treasure. Served in a clean, bright and friendly atmosphere, the menu choices depart from the everyday to give your palate a new sensation.

2) Pizzeria Gusto
404 Academy Rd., 944-8786
3) Chop
750 Sargent Ave., 788-2015

Impress your date with your knowledge of fine wines and exotic foods, and let the classy atmosphere and friendly service do the rest.

2) Olive Garden
Several Winnipeg Locations
3) Earls
Several Winnipeg Locations

6. Best Menu
1) Earls
Several Winnipeg Locations
If you can take your eyes off of the Earls girls long enough to have a good look at the menu, you'll see why Winnipeggers have chosen this one as their favourites. Apart from a solid selection of delicious choices on its regular menu, Earl offers seasonally rotating choices. It's a pretty monumental task to make a menu look as good as the servers, but Earls has achieved it.    

2) Boston Pizza
Several Winnipeg Locations
3) Moxie's Classic Grill
Several Winnipeg Locations

7. Best Appetizer Menu
1) Earls

3) Boston Pizza
Several Winnipeg Locations

8. Best Burger
1) VJ's Drive Inn
170 Main St., 943-2655
What would we do without this Winnipeg institution? Conveniently located downtown, VJ's has been serving up delicious bits of greasy goodness for years now. Rumour has it even Neil Young stops there when he's in town. The only way to beat that is to have the entire starting lineup of the 1992 Jets eating there at once. (Editor's note: The '92 Jets? Didn't they flame out against Vancouver in the first round?)

2) Daly Burger
619 Corydon Ave., 284-4944
3) George's Burgers & Subs
Several Winnipeg Locations

9. Best Local Pizza Restaurant
1) Santa Lucia
Several Winnipeg Locations
Mamma Mia! Santa Lucia's pizzerias have been serving up steaming slices of deliciousness for the past 25 years. Everyone loves pizza, so this category is always a close call, but Santa Lucia has managed to top the list again. This family-owned-and-operated pizzeria has six locations across town to choose from - so when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, you won't have to go far.

2) Café 22/ Pizza Hotline

It's a rare treat in Winnipeg to find a steak this well done, but The Keg manages to consistently grill you a delicious piece of meat just the way you like it - every time. And with a wide range of choices, from sirloins to their legendary baseball steak, you won't be disappointed here.

2) Hy's
One Lombard Place, 942-1000

1405 Portage Ave., 783-6155

11. Best Fine Dining
1) 529 Wellington
529 Wellington Cres., 487-8325
It should come as no surprise that 529 secured top honours in this category. Located within a beautifully restored 1912 mansion overlooking the Assiniboine River, this Wellington Crescent steakhouse boasts such fine cuts of meat that it doesn't even need a name, just a freakin' address. Seriously, everything from the cocktails and appetizers to the service here is top notch - or so we've been told. Our diets consist mostly of canned meat and Kraft Dinner.

2) Hy's
One Lombard Pl., 942-1000
3) In Ferno's Bistro
312 Des Meurons St., 262-7400

12. Best Late Night Dining

Head on over to this River Avenue mainstay and feast on the best late-night cuisine in the city. With a menu of Greek and local favourites to choose from, Papa George's serves up comfort food for all of you night owls looking for a place to unwind.

13. Best Breakfast/Lunch
1) Stella's Café & Bakery
Several Winnipeg Locations
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day - so for goodness' sake, put down your bowl of Cheerios and head over to a Stella's for some real food. With three locations across the city to choose from, you're never far away from some great, fresh food.

2) Cora's Breakfast & Lunch
1-840 Waverley St., 928-1200; 340 Provencher Blvd., 928-1204
3) The Original Pancake House
Several Winnipeg Locations

14. Best Ice Cream/Gelato
1) Bridge Drive-In (BDI)
766 Jubilee Ave., 475-6850
A summer institution, the Bridge Drive-In literally has something for everyone. Sure, you can get something classic such as an ice-cream cone or a banana split, but why not try something different? BDI serves up ice cream for the adventurous. Not sure where to start? We like The Sleeping Beauty - a half-pineapple filled with ice cream, strawberries and cherries. 

2) Nucci's
643 Corydon Ave., 475-8765
3) G.G. Gelati
705 Corydon Ave ., 453-5710

15. Best Food Vendor (Cart, Wagon, or Van)
1) Mini Donuts
A mainstay of the Red River Ex and summer festivals for years now, the Mini Donuts stand reigns supreme in Winnipeg. Half the appeal is just watching those little bits of dough swim through that automated machine until they wind up in a little white paper bag smothered in cinnamon and sugar. These treats are sure to warm your heart and your stomach.

2) Goldie's
3) Smoke'n Bob's Hot Dogs

16. Best Patio
1) Tavern United
Several Winnipeg Locations
There's nothing better than sitting out in the sun on a warm summer's day with a cold beer, listening to AC/DC streaming out of the speakers, watching the world go by. With it's enormous beer selection, and generous helpings of wings (not to mention faux-British charm), Tavern is the place to go for those days when you just want to enjoy some libations in the sun. Especially the one on the rooftop of the CTV building, right next to MTS Centre.

2) Bar Italia
737 Corydon Ave., 452-1929
3) Toad In The Hole Pub & Eatery
112 Osborne St., 284-7201

17. Best Neighbourhood Pub
1) The Toad In The Hole Pub & Eatery
112 Osborne St., 284-7201
Sure, The Toad can be cramped, noisy and busy - but it's also your favourite pub. Beside being the best place to put down a pint this side of the U.K., it also happened to feature some of Winnipeg's finest local talent downstairs in The Cavern. There's lots of reasons we love The Toad - warts and all.

2) King's Head Pub
120 King St., 957-7710
3) Dylan O'Connors Irish Pub
2609 Portage Ave., 415-4012; 9-1875 Pembina Hwy., 275-1926

18. Best Beer Selection
1) The King's Head Pub & Eatery
120 King St. 957-7710
Row upon row of shining metal taps, just waiting to burst forth with flowing golden suds, that delicious liquid bread. The King's Head is less of a mortal pub than it is the Beer Valhalla. Bonus points for featuring the best selection of local beers in the city - be sure to try a Half Pints or Fort Garry while you're there. Now excuse us while we wipe the drool from our keyboards.

2) The Toad in The Hole Pub & Eatery
112 Osborne St., 284-7201
3) The Round Table Steak House & Pub
800 Pembina Hwy., 453-3631

19. Best Wine List
1) Noir Wine Bar & Eatery
470 River Ave. 477-6777
There's no better way to say, "Look at me - I'm cultured, sophisticated and I'm an adult, damnit!" than by perusing a wine list and picking that nice bottle of 2007 Sauvignon Blanc whilst sitting in a trendy Osborne Village wine bar. Add some DJs on the weekends and you've got one swank hangout. And if you're not sure which bottle of wine to pick, the staff will gladly help you - without snickering at you behind your back. Honest

2) 529 Wellington
529 Wellington Cres., 487-8325
3) Mise

20. Best Place to Drink Alone
1) The Toad in The Hole Pub & Eatery
112 Osborne St. 284-7201
 Mad that your girlfriend just dumped you? Pissed off that Ted in sales keeps getting promoted over you? Then head down to The Toad, grab a pint and a corner to sit in and get to know yourself a little better. If solo boozing was good enough for Hemingway, it should be good enough for you.

2) King's Head Pub
120 King St., 957-7710
3) Cousin's Deli & Lounge
55 Sherbrook St,. 783-4695

120 King St. 957-7710
3) Bar Italia
737 Corydon Ave. 452-1929

22. Best Server
1) Maelanny Gray
Despite our best efforts, we were unable to track down just where exactly Ms. Gray works. So we're left to imagine that, with this many people voting for her, it must be some sort of super-hip place that we're not nearly cool enough to know about. Congratulations to you Maelanny, wherever you are.

2) Erika Davis (no restaurant given)
3) Chelsea (The Toad in The Hole Pub & Eatery)
112 Osborne St., 284-7201

23. Best Bartender
1) Cliff Warwick (The Toad in The Hole Pub & Eatery)
112 Osborne St. 284-7201
Someone once said, "The hard part about being a bartender is figuring out who is drunk and who's just stupid." Being a bartender means putting up with a lot of abuse, but Cliff at The Toad puts up with it better than most bartenders and manages to keep the line moving, even during the busiest times of day.

2) Dave Giroux (The King's Head Pub & Eatery)
120 King St. ,957-7710
3) Tyler B (Canad-Inns Polo Park)
1405 St Matthews Ave., 775-8791

3) Starbucks
Several Winnipeg Locations

25. Best Sushi
1) Wasabi
588 Broadway Ave., 779-8183; 105-121 Osborne St., 474-2332
Seems like you can't swing a dead fish in Winnipeg these days without hitting a sushi joint - but no one does sushi better than the folks at Wasabi. They aren't just chefs, they're artists, creating a feast for both the eyes and the palate. That's why Wasabi is the big fish in this pond.

2) Miyabi
159 Osborne St., 888-0028
3) Sushi Train
Several Winnipeg Locations

26. Best Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant
1) Mondragon
91 Albert St., 946-5241
Are you looking to stick it to the man and eat some great food? Then stop by this Exchange District mainstay. Mondragon's delicious vegan offerings are, in a word, amazing. It's probably not the best way to rate a vegan restaurant, but the food is so good you forget that there's no meat in it. And in addition to a yummy (and ethical) menu, Mondragon serves up plenty of food for thought in its bookstore.

2) Delicious
1467 Pembina Hwy., 477-1530
3) Eat! Bistro
274 Gary St., 949-1231

27. Best Dance Club
1) Blush Ultraclub
323 Portage Ave. 221-4583
Looking to lace up those red shoes and rock down to Electric Avenue? Then your best bet is Blush. It's not just a regular club - it's an Ultraclub.We're still not sure what that means exactly, but Blush is the classiest dance bar in the city, so kick back those heels and practice doing your best lawnmower or sprinkler. At 19,000 square feet, Blush boasts two floors, four bars, a massive dance floor and a patio that girls were dancing after Game 1 of the AHL final last week - which is a good thing, especially if your dance moves resemble those of one Elaine Benes.

2) HiFi Club
2-108 Osborne St., 415-1981
3) Alive In The District
140 Bannatyne Ave., 989-8080

28. Hottest Club Clientele
1) HiFi Club
2-108 Osborne St., 415-1981
Located above American Apparel in Osborne Village, the HiFi Club is where our city's beautiful people flock. Even if you're not among the 'Peg's beautiful people, it doesn't matter. After a few Red Bull-and-vodkas, everybody's gorgeous. Trust us.

2) Alive In The District
140 Bannatyne Ave., 989-8080
3) Blush Ultraclub
323 Portage Ave., 221-4583

29. Best Club Theme Night
1) Ready Mix at Ozzie's
160 Osborne St. 452-9824
Ever wonder where all the hipsters disappear to on Thursday nights? Then obviously you've never been to Ready Mix. This club night sees more guys wearing scarves and striped sweaters than a Where's Waldo? book. Held together not by any specific musical style, but just by good DJs playing good music, Ready Mix has earned its reputation as the top theme night in Winnipeg.

2) Mod Night
3) '80s Night

30. Best Live Music Venue
1) Pyramid Cabaret
176 Fort St., 957-7777
The spacious dance floor. The Jagermeister specials. That weird skull-chandelier thing. Yes, there are tons of reasons to love the Pyramid Cabaret. A Winnipeg institution, the converted taxi garage on Fort Street has played host to the hottest local and touring bands since the mid-'90s, back when it was the Spectrum. Whether you're an indie, rock, pop, punk, metal or electronica fan, the Pyramid is your hookup for live music in the 'Peg.

2) The Royal Albert Arms
48 Albert St., 943-8433
3) The Zoo
160 Osborne St., 452-9824

31. Best Local Band
1) Jet Set Satellite
Arguably one of the 'Peg's most successful exports, Jet Set Satellite has been burning up stages (and rock radio charts) for over a decade. Still, the band's rise hasn't been without its rough patches - including career-stalling label woes with Nettwerk Records in the mid-2000s. Still, Trevor Tuminski and co. are a resilient bunch, and their latest effort, 2008's End of an Era, is a powerful nod to that fact.

2) The Waking Eyes
3) The Weakerthans

32. Best New Local CD
1) Inward Eye - EP
Uptown readers have been waiting a long time for this one - and that's putting it lightly. The Erickson brothers - who generated some serious buzz on the strength of their incendiary live show and inked a deal with J. Records back in 2005 - finally surfaced with a debut four-song EP earlier this year. An energetic Who/Clash-inspired romp, this disc is no doubt a taste of what's to come - and we're told that a full album will drop Aug. 18.

2) The Waking Eyes - Holding On to Whatever It Is
3) Dreadnaut - A Taste of What's to Come

33. Best New Local Band
1)Inward Eye
What else can we say? Uptown readers love these guys.

2)Dreadnaut
3)Tele

34. Best Winnipeg Record Label
1) Smallman Records
Founded in 1997, local hardcore/punk imprint Smallman Records has grown to become a major player in Canada's independent music scene. Representing hometown heavy-hitters such as Propagandhi, Comeback Kid and Sights & Sounds as well as out-of-town acts such as Misery Signals, Passenger Action and Sylvie, the super organized (and super nice) folks over at Smallman are passionate about the bands on their roster - and it shows. After all, it takes dedication (and mad organizational skills) to run a label and a management agency with a skeleton staff.

2) Transistor 66
3) G7 Welcoming Committee

35. Best Gym/Yoga Studio
1) Moksha Yoga
Unit 7, 2 Donald St., 452-5535
If you're a big fan of working up a sweat, but not a fan of running around in circles or riding on some sweat-encrusted exercise bike to do it, then the hot yoga offered at Moksha Yoga is for you. Offering classes ranging from 60 to 90 minutes seven days a week, Winnipeg's first Moksha Yoga studio will help you get into shape, improve your immune system, and help you understand exactly what people are talking about when they reference the "Corpse Pose" at parties.

2) YMCA
Several Winnipeg Locations
3) Shapes Fitness Centre
Several Winnipeg Locations

36. Best Place to Get Pampered
1) Ten Spa
10th Floor, 222 Broadway Ave., 946-6520
You've had a rough week, slugger. Go on, you know you have. You deserve a little bit of fine treatment to make up for having to do all those TPS Reports. Have a full-body Swedish massage to melt that tension away, and then rejuvenate yourself with a "Head-to-Toe Fully Loaded Detox Facial." If you're feeling generous, you can bring along the rest of the office and book one of Ten Spa's party packages, which can accommodate up to 24 people and, should you decide that one day at Ten Spa isn't enough, they can book you for an overnight stay at the Hotel Fort Garry, so you can wake up and do the whole thing over again tomorrow.

2) Giselle's, the Spa Specialist
Several Winnipeg locations
3) Urban Oasis Mineral Spa
1445 Portage Avenue., 783-8131

37. Best Funky Jewelry Store
1) Silver Lotus
111 Osborne St., 452-3648
Once again, Silver Lotus tops your list of where to find the best jewelry in the city. With hundreds of watches, rings, cufflinks, pendants and earrings, including a few designer collections that are exclusive to the store, Silver Lotus' selection is unparalleled. But more than just jewelry, the store is packed with all the quirky and classy accents your outfit is begging for, from handbags and wallets to shoes to that wind up Gort toy you've been looking for since you first saw The Day The Earth Stood Still.

2) Bijou Treasures
190 Provencher Blvd., 233-9722
3) Soul Survivors Body Art
118-B Osborne St., 284-1173

38. Best Vintage Clothing Store
1) Ragpickers Antifashion Emporium
216 McDermot Ave., 942-7992
Ragpickers has topped this category so many times, there's almost nothing original left to say to sing the praises of this Exchange District cornerstone. With the city's largest selection of authentic vintage clothing, Ragpickers is the perfect place to find that one-of-a-kind article to complete your ensemble, or to cobble together a, um, one-of-a-kind look of your very own. And if you're looking to put together a sweet outfit (or a costume that doesn't look like it came from a bag at Walmart) for a one-time party, Ragpickers' renowned rental section has what you need.

2) Value Village
Several Winnipeg Locations
3) Hungover Empire
357 Langside St., 415-4864

39. Best Urban Men's Clothing
1) Urban Bakery
398 Portage Ave., 947-2664
"Horse hair! They have horse hair on them!" exclaims a friend, gesturing wildly at his new furry shoes from The Urban Bakery. "It's like a shoe renaissance in there!" And it's true. The Urban Bakery sports some of the sweetest shoes this side of 1980.TUB's selection doesn't stop at just footwear, though, as it also carries some of the dopest hip hop and skate clothes any guy could ever dream of adorning his closet with. Yup, TUB's not just a head shop.

2) Urban Boutique
109 Osborne St., 475-5075
3) Tie: Mixtape / Walmart
1-173 Osborne St., 284-2552; Several Winnipeg locations

3) Urban Bakery
398 Portage Ave., 947-2664

40. Coolest New Clothing Store
1) American Apparel
108 Osborne St., 294-9273
Sure, we were all sad when Collective Cabaret closed down, but to replace it with an American Apparel was a dream come true for gold lamé enthusiasts around the city. Those who are looking for something a little less shiny can pick up one of the store's signature, logo-free cotton Ts, or any number of vintage-California inspired dresses, hoodies or pairs of tights in every colour visible to the human eye. For more daring shoppers, one-piece rompers and, of course, those classic, gold lamé hotpants are always an option.

2) Aritzia
Polo Park Shopping Centre, 1485 Portage Ave., 772-0403
3) Frockstar
304-99 Osborne St., 477-6489
