Pound for pound, there’s not a tastier and more filling cocktail out there than a Bloody Mary. Quite honestly, the word cocktail doesn’t describe this beautiful drink properly. A Bloody Mary is truly an appetizer and *maybe* even a full meal if they put enough olives, celery, and tomato juice in there. That’s why we’re giving Bloody Marys the credit they are due with this list of the best and craziest versions in the city.
Due Amici
67 E Gay Street, Columbus Ohio 43215
Due Amici doesn’t mess around with their love of Bloody Marys, with 4 distinct versions of the cocktail featured on their brunch menu. The craziest of them all is the Michelada, which includes beer, Worcestershire and Soy sauces, and teriyaki chile peppers in the cocktail.
Hangover Easy
1646 Neil Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
Any good breakfast spot has good Bloody Marys. But Hangover Easy? They have incredible Bloody Marys… 4 to be exact. Choose between the OG, the Bloody Maria (with mezcal), Bloody Molly (with whiskey), and the Bloody Pirate (with rum).
Starliner Diner
4121 Main St, Hilliard, OH 43026
Home to Bloody Marys and Bloody Marias, Starliner Diner not only has killer cocktails, but killer quantities, too. You can get a pitcher for the table (or for yourself… we won’t judge).
Flip Side Burger
3945 Easton Station, Columbus, OH 43219
How does house-made applewood smoked bacon-infused Tito’s Vodka and pickled jalapeños in your Bloody Mary sound? Unbelievable? Then get off your phone or computer or VR headset and go to Flip Side Burger!
Ethyl & Tank
19 E 13th Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
If you live on or near Ohio State’s campus and you aren’t going to Ethyl’s brunch for their Bloody Marys, what are you doing?
The Pearl
641 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215
Ever heard of a Bloody Mary with a Miller Grenade on the side? Well, the Pearl has just that. Chasing your Bloody Mary with a Miller High Life sounds weird because it is weird, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t also delicious!
