Reader Adam B. asked us where to find the best Bloody Mary’s in town. Well, Adam, ask and you shall receive. Here’s where + why you all like to sip the goods…

Arcadium, 574 N. Limestone | More than just a drink, this one comes with a whole meal on top.

Bear & the Butcher, 815 Euclid Ave. | It has a Build Your Own Bloody Mary bar on the weekends, need we say more?

Carson’s, 362 E. Main St. | It’s fancy, with all the fixings — bacon, olives, and made with pepper-infused vodka.

Dudley’s on Short, 359 W. Short St. | A former bartender told us, the Bloody Mary’s at Dudley’s are made with its own special, housemade mix.

East End Tap & Table, 333 E. Main St. Ste. 180 | If you’re here for the heat, the peppered rim on this bloody will spice up your life.

Keeneland, 4201 Versailles Rd. | One reader said, “Because it means you’re at Keeneland.” We can’t think of a better explanation ourselves.

McCarthy’s Irish Bar, 117 S. Upper St. | As you can imagine, this one comes with a splash of Guinness.

Mirror Twin, 725 National Ave. | Its menu has two options, if you like some spice — get the Screaming Mary

The Southern Deli & Tavern, 207 S. Limestone | Reader Allison M., who is a bartender there, said she’ll make it extra special for you.

Wild Eggs, 1925 Justice Dr. + 3735 Palomar Centre Dr. | Don’t sleep on this brunch spot, the Bloody Marys here have just the right amount of spice.

Winchell’s, 348 Southland Drive | Just like Winchell’s, it’s simple and comes with a shot of beer

Zimm’s, 215 W. Main St. Ste. 25 | Like most items coming from Chef Ouita Michel, the Bloody Mary is no different — traditional + delicious thanks to the horseradish.
