HopFusion Ale Works, 200 E Broadway Av, 68.Readers’ Top 5: Cowtown Brewing, 1301 E Belknap St, 81 More of a meal than a mixed drink, the Rim’s Bloody Mary Breakfast is a looming tower of meat (bacon-wrapped pretzel, single jumbo shrimp, Hicks’ signature chicken wang, sausage link, and obligatory tiny pickle for garnish) stuck into a glass of Bloody Mary. Once you munch your way through that meaty treat, your reward awaits - a tall serving of spicy, vodka-infused tomato juice that just might knock you over if you don’t share it with your compadres. The former head of Buttons (R.I.P.) has a new seafood venture, The Rim, that serves up one helluva Bloody Mary.

The Usual offers more than superlative drinks. The Usual’s longtime bartender and now managing partner has kept the discerning watering hole’s standards at the highest levels. The craft cocktail movement started on the East and West coasts years earlier as part of a rediscovery of the hand-crafted libations Americans and Europeans enjoyed before bars started peddling Crown and Coke and other easy-to-make-but-bland mixed drinks. The Usual was North Texas’ first craft cocktail bar when it opened in 2009 on the Near Southside.
