The Ultimate Bloody Mary Party

Overview

If you're planning a big night on December 31, odds are that you'll be nursing a sore head when 2019 kicks into gear. Time for a dose of the ol' hair of the dog that bit you, clearly. A boozy January 1 is basically an Australian tradition.

Combining both vodka and actual nutrition, that's where bloody marys come in — and they're coming in droves at Riverbar and Kitchen from midday. The riverside spot is throwing  The Ultimate Bloody Mary Party, which really just means plenty of tomato juice concoctions with a definite kick, as well as plenty of talk about how great 2019 is so far.

Also on offer is a spread of grilled chorizo, stuffed olives, pickled cucumber, cheddar cheese, and fried chicken and harissa sliders, which come on skewers that you can stick right into your drinks.

Mimosas and live music round out your cruisy first Tuesday of the year. Just don't think about work the next day, if that's in your future.
