Ok, in Chicago we drink Bloody Marys on Sunday -- All Day Sunday! And not just the plain tomato juice n vodka varity. We drink 'em spicy n salty with lots of 'stuff' in them (pepper, olives, celery, lemons, ect). So my question, where can a guy go and get a real Bloody Mary to cure a life threatening hang over in this town??? I tried to order one at Finns' but I just got this blank stare. <apparently Finns does not carry tomato juice> I almost went out to get a can of V8 to drink w/ a shot of vodka until I remember it was a friggen sunday and nothing was open...
On a lighter note, in anticipation of another life threatening hangover, who's up for Bloody Marys this sunday?

Good luck, i've been in search of a decent bloody mary since I got here. Of course, like in your story, its always to chase away my sunday morning hangover when everything is shut down.

There's a place in the Schanze that makes great one's...
I just wish I could remember where it was...

There used to be a good cocktail bar in a tower of some sort over the road from damtor station and there's one in the tower hotel in Landesbrucke

@ lazybum - you are killing me...
@ goodlife - thanks for the recommendations. i've checked the web sites and all those places look cool, i will check them out. but maybe not for bloody marys. at the risk of sounding picky, they look too upscale for bloody marys. what i mean, a bloody mary is to cure a hang over. chances are that i'd be walking in unshowered, wearing last nights cloths (most likely slept in them) with a baseball cap pulled down over my eyes to shield the light. lol ok, i exaggerate a bit. but i'm just looking for a place to sit, read the paper, and recover a bit. does this make any since?
in any event, thanks for the help!

If you can't make your own, then you don't deserve to drink them. I will now make my own cause this and the oyster thread has got me drinking, uh, I mean thinking.

@ Finn - there is a little place in heaven for people like you. If you want sainthood you won’t forget the Tabasco!!

(celery not so important) Now we just have to work on a vegetarian version of Irish Stew…
@ eurovol, believe me, when I was in the Rewe tonight I was close to buying some V8 and vodka (spelled with a V and not a W). But unfortunately I’m still in a friggin hotel!!! this sucks, no word on when I’ll go home and no word on how long I’ll stay . . . now I need a drink, wheres the minibar?

What exactly is a Bloody Mary meant to do for a hangover? Make you throw the contents of the previous night up?

^^^ Hair of the dog + plenty of vitimin C.
I love Bloody Marys but not usually a breakfast thing. Has to have lots of worcestershire sauce, course ground black pepper, and a decent scotch bonnet chilli sauce like Encona brand.
Of course, here you could just order 20 Kleiner Mexicaners and put them into one glass for a roughly similar effect.
