Champagne may be the drink of choice on New Year’s Eve, but January 1st is all about the Bloody Mary, especially for those who may have had too much bubbly the night before. The tomato juice and vodka-based cocktail is so popular on January 1 the day has been designated National Bloody Mary Day.
Kick off your New Year with the morning-friendly cocktail (and maybe even a hearty brunch) at one of these Chandler restaurants, each known for their outstanding Bloody Marys. Some of the Chandler, Arizona restaurants listed below offer their Bloody Mary in connection with their weekend brunch, perfect for weekend toast with family and friends.

Pedal Haus Brewery
The locally owned and award-winning craft brewery offers not only an amazing selection of local Arizona beers and gastropub eats, but recently unveiled a Bloody Mary lineup that hits all the right notes. The zesty and zingy beverages feature garnishes that include shrimp, bacon, shishitos, cheese, cured meats, olives, and more. A great option to enjoy al fresco on the Pedal Haus Brewery patio with one of their dishes, but we think the Haus Mac N' Cheese made with a blend of their house-made beer cheese, white cheddar, and cavatappi pasta is an excellent pairing.
