“Buffalo’s Best Bloody Mary” by The Burning Buffalo Bar and Grill
The 2018 Buffalo Bloody Mary Fest brought over 1500 people to Buffalo RiverWorks on Sunday afternoon for a Sunday Funday of epic proportions. Attendees tasted 10 different hand crafted Bloody Marys and voted on their favorites. The coveted title of “Buffalo’s Best Bloody Mary” went to the Burning Buffalo Bar & Grill. The Rusty Nickel Brewing Co. took the crown for the remaining two awards, “Best Garnished Bloody Mary” and “Most Creative Bloody Mary.”
The third annual sold-out Buffalo Bloody Mary Fest hosted by Step Out Buffalo brought together ten local bars and restaurants to showcase their best Bloody Mary concoction, all made with award-winning vodka from Buffalo’s own Tommyrotter Distillery. The ten bars and restaurants who participated were Acropolis, Billy Club, Black Button Distillery, Burning Buffalo Bar & Grill, Colter Bay, This Little Pig, Merge, Rowhouse Bakery & Restaurant, Rusty Nickel Brewing Co., and Thin Man Brewery.
