when i was in new orleans i became addicted to the bloody mary. it's not that i had never tried one before but i had never had a good one. the one i had at acme oyster was amazing and ever since i returned to cincinnati, i have been regularly craving them but have not found a good one.
my worst mistake was ordering one at the claddagh in newport about a month ago... oh my god it was so horrible i thought i was going to vomit. it tasted like cheap vodka mixed with tobasco sauce and spit. i made them give me a whole glass of extra tomato juice to try to drown out the nastiness but it was so bad i could not drink it (which really never happens with me and alcohol). i am still having nightmares over it and i haven't ordered another bloody mary anywhere since then.
obviously i need your help... where can i get a really good bloody mary in this city?

Try one at Arthur's, Chez Nora or Grand Finale for brunch
Three words: City View Tavern.
Boswell Alley!!!
I know Nicholson's in Rookwood has a huge Bloody Mary menu. I am not sure of the quality of the drink, but there area ton of choices.
the pub rookwood has a list where you can pick what is on the little skewer for the bloody mary and the liquor used. it's pretty nifty. we've seen it on Sunday mornings.
I haven;t had them myself, but my boyfriend is a huge Bloody Mary snob, and he swears by the ones at Christy's.
I will definitely second City View Tavern - they are great. I also really like the bloodys at Keystone in Covington during their brunch on weekends. I am also very new to Bloody Marys - its like a switch just flipped for me this year and now I like them!
I know I am biased but Arnold's has a great one. Made from scratch with horseradish and plenty of spice. That is usually my drink of choice when I go out. I also love them at Knotty Pine, Chez Nora's and Milton's.
ronda: i am so excited that you read my blog! i also had no idea that you have a blog. i spend like half my paycheck on beer at arnold's so this is very exciting for me!
everyone else: thanks for the tips!
I love your blog! Me blogging is pretty funny and interesting. Let me know next time your in and I will treat you to a drink. 1/2 your paycheck should entitle you to that. Thanks liz!

Try Keystone. I enjoy their angry mary.
run the hyde park blast and have one of Teller's bloody mary's after race ;)
