bloody mary brunch in san francisco

Can anyone recommend a decent place in the city that offers a bloody mary brunch (and not one of those half-assed, we don't have a full liquor license soju marys - blech!)? I'm looking for a place that isn't too pricey, i.e., not the Ritz-Carlton or the Palace and also will not have an excruciatingly long wait.

    No, the Bloody Mary brunch is definitely alive and well here in San Francisco.

      Thanks! That's wonderful. I can't wait to try all these places out. On another note - does San Francisco do brunch? As in, have alcohol with breakfast on the weekend? I think the bloody mary is indispensable with weekend brunch, but my bf says that this is mostly a new york pretension/phenomenon.

        Is the sky blue?

        Even in places without a full liquor license I'm sure you'd be able to find a blood orange mimosa to tempt you in the better spots.

        If you're a beer drinker, you can drink your fill for charity at any number of Sunday afternoon beer busts.

        Levende has a nice brunch, and used to have a self-serve Bloody Bar, with different seasonings, veggies, Clamato, tomato juice, V8 etc. I haven't been in a while, so you should probably call and check first.

              Farmer Brown has a pretty good brunch (some things are better than others) with good Bloody Marys, and it's really very affordable.

                Slow Club is my favorite brunch spot in the city and they make fantastic bloody mary's with habanero infused vodka.
