Without a good bloody mary, brunch might as well just be lunch. Or, maybe breakfast. Either way a beautiful bloody is what makes the best mornings. The next time you’ve got plans for brunch we recommend you steer your friends and family to these spots. In addition to a good meal, you’re guaranteed the perfect drink!

  1. Bayside American Cafe, Portland

Bayside American Cafe / Facebook

Bayside American Cafe / Facebook You might remember this spot as Bintliff’s American Cafe, when it was owned by Roger Bintliff. Head in today for one of these - a perfectly thick bloody mary with a mix of just about every food group!

Visit them at: 98 Portland Street, Portland / (207) 774-0005

  1. The Drouthy Bear, Camden

Dennis P / TripAdvisor

Sean C / TripAdvisor How about a bloody mary that also incorporates the meal? Check this out if you prefer to have a tasty slice of bacon inside your drink, rather than on the plate.

Visit them at: 50 Elm Street, Camden / (207) 236-2327

  1. The Proper Pig, Waterville

Mary S. / Yelp

Amy P / Yelp The Proper Pig is worth the trip for the Stuck Pig. This bloody mary is another that packs a punch…a punch of pig. In the form of bacon.

Visit them at: 14 Common Street, Waterville / Phone number (207) 616-3975

  1. Silly’s, Portland

Kristen C / Yelp

Moe E. / Yelp You might know Silly’s for their awesomely diverse menu and kitschy inside (actually, we think it’s one of the most unique spots in Maine) but don’t forget their bloody mary ability! They’re spicy and special, chock full of all sorts of goodies, including lots of meat.

Visit them at: 40 Washington Avenue, Portland / (207) 772-0360

  1. McLaughlin’s at the Marina, Hampden

McLaughlin’s at the Marina / Facebook Spend the morning on the Penobscot with the bloody mary of all bloody marys! Try Mary’s Bloody Mary, the Shrimp’s Tale, or the Lobster Claw. Yes, that is an actual lobster claw!

Visit them at: Route 1, Hampden / (207) 990-1111

  1. Royal River Grill House, Yarmouth

Royal River Grill House / Facebook

Royal River Grill House / Facebook This is the place you want to be if you think one bloody mary is good, but TWO are better. The size of this is huge - spiced up and served in an actual Grey Goose Vodka bottle.

Visit them at: 106 Lafayette Street, Yarmouth / (207) 846-1226

  1. Brian Boru, Portland

Brian Boru / Facebook

Rachel A. / Yelp Try the “Hangover Destroyer,” a super strong bloody mary topped with a cheese slider, when you have an actual hangover. But be sure to do it on Sundays when bloody marys are $3!

Visit them at: 57 Center Street, Portland / (207) 780-1506

  1. 50 Local, Kennebunk

50 Local / Facebook

50 Local / Facebook This one is a little out of the box, so we avoided an actual photo. Instead we’re showing you the ingredients. Head to 50 Local for more of a conceptual bloody mary. The Ghost of Mary uses tomato water instead of tomato juice, making it one of the most unique on this list.

Visit them at: 50 Main Street, Kennebunk / Phone number (207) 985-0850

After brunch, go take a Maine fall day trip! Start with these great options!
