King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel
In perhaps the only setting this list has that may be too fancy for true noon-time madness, the King Cole Bar in the St. Regis Hotel knows a thing or two about Bloody Marys. That’s right – the world’s first Bloody debuted here in 1934. You’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for a drink called the Red Snapper, however, as the drink’s Bloody moniker was a bit too gruesome and informal at the time of its birth. It’s classic, tasty, and a wee bit expensive (the Red Snapper original runs about $25).
