Readers' Choice: Vote For Your Favorite Place to Hear Live Music

We've brought back a bigger and better Readers’ Choice, just in time for summer! Twenty-five great categories, all designed to take advantage our readers’ local expertise.

We're not talking about Madison Square Garden here, but rather about the restaurants and bars that host musicians to make your meal more memorable, or the small venues that bring in the best local talent.

Where's your favorite place to see live music in all of Meriden, Southington, Cheshire, Rocky Hill and Berlin? You've nominated who you think is the best in the region, now it's time to vote!

Here are the nominees:

• Smokin' With Chris' in Southington
• Sam the Clams in Southington

Register your opinion in the poll below anytime between June 23 through Aug. 17. We'll announce the winners in late August.
