While spending a recent December weekend in Chicago with our Alaskan friend James, we were in search of good Bloody Marys in the Loop/River North neighborhoods.
A quick search using the Happy Houred iPhone app led us to Rockit Bar and Grill at 22 W. Hubbard for $5 Bloody Marys. Once inside at the bar, we discovered they were delicious Absolut Peppar Bloody Marys. Included was a trip to the “Build Your Own Gourmet Bloody Mary Bar” – a huge salad-bar-like buffet offering every type of ingredient one could ever imagine putting into or on the side of a Bloody Mary.
Just as we were finishing our round, we discovered another unbelievable deal at this bar and grill – the Veuve Clicquot Mimosa Kit. For only $50, a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne, served with sliced strawberries and four carafes of fresh juices to make your own mimosas. We could not bring ourselves to use much of the fruit juice, but we enjoyed one of our favorite champagnes at an unbelievably good price.
The mimosa kit is only $35 if you choose Domaine Chandon sparkling wine rather than the Veuve.
This deal is offered with the brunch menu served Saturday and Sunday between 10:30 am and 4 pm. We also enjoyed the live music. Check out the brunch menu here.
