Best Of 2010: Upscale Bar

At the beginning of August, the blue porch light at 15C went dark, the result of an early-morning fire in the building that displaced the martini and cigar bar's customers and staff. Regardless, Springs drinkers and smokers know what they like — this is 15C's eighth win for Upscale (or Classy) Bar and ninth win for Bar for a Martini. And as martinis can be a little "fancy-pants," it's really no surprise 15C grabbed that first-year award, too. From the ashes: "I'm definitely reopening — there's no question of that," says owner Alan Pak, though he doesn't have a timeline yet. —Kirsten Akens

You can drink, you can smoke, and you can stare across a candle-lit table at your loved one. Or you can just drink and smoke. A multiple readers' poll winner in the Bar for a Martini and Upscale Bar categories (its seventh straight year in the latter), 15C is a den of hidden delights located down a back alley with a purple light next to an indistinguishable door. In addition to the cigar menu, martinis rule here, from the classic James Bond affectation to such trendy concoctions as the Sugar Daddy, French Kiss and Velvet Hammer.

Best Of 2011: Fitness Center

Best Health Club

"Everyone has dumbbells; everyone has treadmills," says service manager Orlando Argueta. He claims that what sets 24 Hour Fitness apart is its personal training staff. Offering three one-on-one sessions for $129, insured by a results-driven, full-satisfaction-or-your-money-back guarantee, "We put — what's the saying? — our money where our mouth is," Argueta offers with a laugh. General membership costs range from $24 to $100 monthly, a small price to pay for a place to constructively embrace those random bursts of 3 a.m. energy. — Avalon Manly
