In Oregon, a Bloody Mary is rarely just a drink. It can be the opening act to a slow Sunday brunch, a welcome reward after a cold morning on the coast, or a small meal balanced on top of a glass. Across the state, bartenders are mixing tomato juice with everything from pepper-infused vodka and house-pickled vegetables to bacon, cheese curds, and coastal flair.
This list has been rebuilt from the ground up for 2026. Several places featured in the original story have closed or changed, so we checked current menus, recent local awards, editorial recommendations, and customer feedback before adding favorites from Central Oregon, Portland, the Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, and the Oregon Coast. This is not a strict statewide ranking, but every selection has current evidence behind it, whether that is an award, Bloody Mary-specific praise, a distinctive house recipe, or a well-reviewed Bloody Mary bar. Whether you like yours clean and classic or wildly garnished, these twenty Oregon stops are worth putting on your brunch map.
A quick note before you go: Restaurant hours, menus, prices, and garnishes can change. Check with the business directly before making a special trip, especially if a particular Bloody Mary is the reason for your visit.
Central Oregon Bloody Marys
1. The Victorian Café, Bend
The Victorian Café has long been one of Bend’s most beloved breakfast institutions, and its Bloody Mary program is every bit as spirited as the brunch menu. The Proud Mary starts with the restaurant’s house-infused pickle and pepper vodka, then arrives with the savory heat and bright acidity that Bloody Mary fans crave. Pair it with one of the café’s famously generous benedicts or scrambles and you have a classic Bend morning.
Where: 1404 NW Galveston Avenue, Bend

2. CHOW, Bend
CHOW feels like the kind of neighborhood brunch spot Central Oregon was made for. Its Bloody Mary uses house vodka and a house mix, finished with seasonal vegetables that give each glass a little personality. Garlic-infused vodka and bacon are available for guests who want to push the savory side even further, and the restaurant’s garden setting makes it especially pleasant when Bend wakes up to sunshine.
Where: 1110 NW Newport Avenue, Bend

5. Bend Brewing Company, Bend
One of Oregon’s oldest brewpubs is also a dependable downtown stop when brunch calls for tomato, spice, and vodka instead of another pint.

Both the Eastside and Pearl District locations serve brunch, though waits can be substantial on busy weekends.

Planning an Oregon brunch road trip
There is no single formula for Oregon’s best Bloody Mary. Some of the most memorable versions are carefully restrained, while others arrive carrying half the appetizer menu. What connects these spots is a sense of place, whether that means a view of Haystack Rock, a sunny patio in Sisters, a historic room in Coburg, or a pint glass surrounded by the easy bustle of a neighborhood pub.
