Bloody Mary’s aren’t just a drink to consume during brunch, as far as anyone in Wisconsin is concerned! Bloody Mary’s are a socially acceptable drink to have morning, afternoon, or even as a nightcap. Take a peek at the top 5 Bloody Mary’s to try in Waukesha! Why take my advice, you ask? Because I’m an expert, ask me.
For those not from Wisconsin, when I list garnishes, it is basically all the extras you get with your drink!
Contents
 1. SoblemansÂ
I promise you under all of that food is an actual drink. I don’t know how the bartenders do it, but they are able to make magic out of the way they put their Bloody Mary’s together! I wonder if they have to get certified in “defying the law of gravity Ph.D.” in order to work here?!
While this would have been reserved for my top Bloody Mary list in Milwaukee, it does have a location in Waukesha, so it just had to be included! You think Bloody Mary in Wisconsin, and you automatically think Soblemans. Everything tastes exceptional from the bloody mix to the fixings and garnishes! It is a bit of a thicker mix, and they take the time to infuse and use all the right spices one could ever want in their drink.
If you are not from Wisconsin, this is the place you want to come to truly experience the myth, the legend and the magic that is known as the true Wisconsin Bloody Mary.
They have eight different types of Bloody Marys that escalate in girth as you go down the list. But, to be honest, the core of the Bloody itself tastes delicious on its own, and you don’t rely on the toppings to give the drink the recognition it deserves!
Getting a Bloody from here is a meal in itself, and you don’t need much more! You get a drink and a meal all on top of one glass. The mix is on the bit of the thicker side, which I love.
Classic garnishes include:
- Celery
- Pickle
- Green Olives
- Tomato
- Cheese Block
- Beef Stick
- Shrimp
- Pickled Brussel Sprout
- Pickled Mushroom
- Green Onion
- Pickled Asparagus
- Pepperoncini
From there, additional things can get added, such as:
- A Cheeseburger Slider
- Bacon-Wrapped Chicken with Bourbon Sauce or Buffalo Sauce
- Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Cheese Balls
- A Whole Fried Chicken
- Bacon Cheese Cracks
- Coronita

The Bloody Mary and all the fixings should be enough to fill you up, but if you really want to try other items here, they are known worldwide for their burgers! They also have other standard bar food far, and I enjoy the cheese balls; they are different than your classic cheese curds!
Reviewers Have Said:
- Bloody Mary drinks are large, delicious and a full meal. I ordered one with a slider and three apps, plus garnishes that included shrimp and cheese and sausage. The sidecar beer was excellent and from a local brewery across the street
- Not only does the Bloody Mary have amazing toppings but it is actually delicious! It was spiced with a great depth of flavor!
- Of all the bars in Wisconsin, Sobelman’s has the best Bloody Mary’s by far.
2. Taylor’s People ParkÂ
I’m going, being honest with you, Taylor’s People Park has a good bloody, but it’s not my favorite. I’m not a fan of their actual Bloody Mary mix due to the nature of it being a bit thinner and toned down on the flavor spectrum.
However, I realize I’m a bit of a spice fanatic, so if you like a thinner, more light, and refreshing bloody, then you will love them here! Great for those who don’t like spicy Bloody Marys and those who want more bland choices; due to personal preference or medical need to watch your sodium intake. When you take the refreshing Bloody Mary and mix that with the restaurant’s ambiance, specifically the outside rooftop patio, that is what lands this on my must-try Bloody Mary list.
Garnish include:
- Beef Stick
- Cheese Cube 1 Chedder and 1 Pepperjack
- Lime Wedge
- Olive
- Pickle
The garnishes seem to be a bit inconsistent when I come here. Sometimes it’s all olives; sometimes there’s a fat pepper on it, etc. It’s like roulette, which makes it fun. A few different Bloody Mary Drinks are available for you to choose from.

They have outside seating on the sidewalk, but the real show stopper is their rooftop patio bar with a full tiki-style theme. It is entirely open, so all you see when you look up is the sky, and when you look to the side, you get an impressive view of the city of downtown Waukesha!

The food here is AMAZING. I personally always go for an appetizer buffet type of meal and get tons of apps to share around vs. getting an entree. My go-to apps are KYOTO Wings, Crab Rangoon Spring Rolls, Brushetta, and Pot Stickers.
They have food options for everyone; healthy, vegetarian, and even cheat meal dishes. You can find things like chicken sandwiches, burgers, sweet potatoes, fries, salads, fish, soups, grilled portobello sandwiches, and so much more!
Reviewers Have Said:
- I had the bourbon bloody and friend had the basil bloody. The basil was pretty good but not great. Overpowered with garlic and I love garlic. The bourbon bloody was almost undrinkable. Tomato and bourbon it seems is not a good combo lol.
- We ordered bloody mary’s which were great and I love when a place gets it right and serves it will a beer back.
- Each one of these additions[ garnishes] was more delicious than the last, which helped distract me from an otherwise average Bloody Mary mix.
- We love the bloody many selections and the staff is always nice
3. Fuzzy’s Sports Pub & Grill
Fuzzies are the hole-in-the-wall dive bar that has an exceptional Bloody Mary. They have their very own mix and give you full-sized garnishes! This mix is a perfect blend of thin and thick, making it desirable for everyone’s palette. In addition, they offer $3 Bloody Marys on Sundays, which is 75% cheaper than anywhere else in Wisconsin! Yea, you read that correct, $3!
They also have a beautiful outside patio which is great for sipping your Bloody Mary on! When you mix the atmosphere with the Bloody Mary, the two encompass everything sconnies love about hometown bars!
Garnish Include:
- Pickle
- Celery
- Olive
- Cheese
- Beef Stick
- Mushroom
- Cucumber
- Pepperoncini
- Lemon Wedge
The garnish might be different depending on the day you come and the kind you choose.

Fuzzy is your classic bar food but made in a non-greasy way, and they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Reviewers Have Said:
- Delicious food, great Bloody Mary, very friendly waitstaff- will come back
- My favorite things are breakfast, the burgers are one of the best around and their Bloody Mary’s
- had to get one of the $3 bloody mary’s that comes with a beer chaser of your choice.
- had a Bloody Mary and a mimosa, and both were great.
4. Mainstream Bar & GrillÂ
Mainstream is another Bloody Mary place that is great for people who don’t like their mix to have too much spice but still want exceptional flavor. The density of the mix is medium and goes down smooth; before you know it, you will have two knocked back. The restaurant has a relaxed rock and roll vibe and has a lovely deck outside in the back of their establishment.
Garnish Include:
- Olive
- Pickle
- Celery
- Lemon Wedge
The garnishes aren’t as over the top as some of the other places we have gone over. Sometimes a simplistic classic recipe has all the ingredients your heart and tummy can desire. It’s not about the over-the-top presentation but rather the hard work and care that goes into making an uncomplicated, classic cocktail.

5.The Neighbors Bar and Grille
The neighbors live up to its name and indeed treats you like a neighbor as soon as you walk in. You can go there for the first time, and the friendly vibe of the place instantly surrounds you, making you think you’ve actually been there before. Belly up to the bar, grab a seat at a table or go outside on their awesome deck-style patio. A bar named
The Neighbors have a deck for their patio. Does it get any more Wisconsin than that?
The mix to their Bloodies is medium to thick in its consistency and has one of my favorite tastes with all the spices and garnishes they add!
Waiters and bartenders are hands down my favorite staff around the area, and I try to go here monthly to see them, eat some good food and sip on some good drinks.
Garnishes include:
- Lemon Wedge
- Cucumber
- Mushroom
- Olive
- Pickle
- Celery
- Shallot
- Beef Stick
- Green Onion

This place has high-quality bar food with things like burgers, sandwiches, fries, tots, wings, pretzel bits, nutty jalapeno, and much more! This place is known for its food and is a real hidden gem.
Reviewers Have Said:
- The Bloody Mary was outstanding! It even had a Wisconsin Beefstick! Nowhere in this country, can you find sausage as you get here!
- I also tried the Bloody Mary which was fresh and well made. The prices are reasonable and it’s easy to get a table for lunch.
- They have the best tasting Bloody Mary out there!! They have a mild and wild flavor and it comes with the most AMAZING jalapeño and cheddar beef stick and delicious blue cheese stuffed olives. It is also packed with other goodies such as mushrooms, onion, celery, etc. we used to go there on the weekends for brunch and their food is also very good.
- This place also makes one of the best Bloody Mary’s in the Waukesha area (technically the town) ’cause I like ’em spicy! (They can do half and half of their mix for you weak links out there!)
