On Thursday, November 17, Eater will present the 2016 Eater Awards, our seventh annual celebration of all that's made the restaurant world run — and run wild — in the past 12 months. Winners will be selected on both the local and national levels in five major categories, and the voting begins right now. The polls are now closed for restaurant of the year and chef of the year, and today we focus on design. Which of these hotspots is this year’s bar of the year? Decide in the polls below.
Here's how the voting works: Eater editors have named nominees in New Orleans for each of five major categories— Restaurant of the Year, Chef of the Year, Design of The Year, Bar of the Year, and Hottest Restaurant of the Year. Editors will pick winners from the nominees, and readers will vote to award one nominee in each category with a readers’ choice award. Ready to play your part? This poll will be open for 24 hours; voting irregularities will be strictly policed.
