The Attic, Long Beach

Offering a blend of New American cuisine with southern traditions, The Attic enjoys a loyal local following at its eclectic 1920’s cottage location. A brunch standout remains their Classic Bloody Mary, a blend of vodka, a secret house mix, olives and celery. Simple, reasonably priced, and oh-so satisfying.

Hog Island Oyster Co., Northern California

With locations in San Francisco’s Ferry Building, Marin, Napa and more, Hog Island serves up some of the best fresh seafood in the state. What better sidekick to a Hog Island oyster than a spicy Bloody Mary? Perfected at their San Francisco Oyster Bar, the tasty libation is tangy, zesty, and the perfect hint of spicy. Bonus! They make a handy mix to take home.

Werewolf, San Diego

One of San Diego’s hottest brunch spots naturally serves one of the best Bloody Mary’s in town. Packed with a lively and hungry morning crowd, Gaslamp’s Werewolf serves up this favorite by the dozens daily, a mix of signature Waterfront mix, 2 shots of Kettle One, a salted rim and topped with pickles, olives and pepperoncinis. But if you’re going to really do it, add the bacon. Worth every calorie.
