Avenue Bar		Good bloody mary, with enough strength to get a good buzz going after just one. Wish there was more salad though. Make sure to order it with horseradish if you want it to have a kick.
Backwoods Bar and Grill		This Bloody certainly has a unique flavor that lives up to the hype.
Beach House Restaurant and Lounge		This bloody could be described in one word: boring. It tasted like tomato juice and had a mediocre salad. It was cheap though, so I guess you get what you pay for...
Beef O'Brady's		Apparently salad in bloody marys is too much to ask for in Texas.
Bill's Cafe		Labeled as 'famous' in the menu, the only way I see this bloody living up to that title is if it's referring to the spice. This thing was so hot I could barely drink it, so I knocked it down half a star. And I prefer a pickle over a celery stalk as salad any day. At $5.50 though, it's a great deal for the bay area.
Bluephies		I know others have had different experiences, but the bloody I was served tasted like water-downed tomato juice. The giant celery stalk just got in the way, but I always like when the Bloody has celery salt around the rim.
Bluephies		I'd say Bluephies have redeemed themselves in my book. They've added a handful of Bloody choices to their menu since my last visit, including the 'Fat Boy', which is what I had. This monstrosity featured bacon, asparagus, string cheese, mushrooms, onion, olives, celery, and bacon infused vodka. It was well worth the price.
Brass Ring		a rich bloody with a pickle, olives, and lemon/lime
Brennan's Restaurant		For a place famous for their breakfast, I was expecting to get the best bloody mary of my life. Instead I was served this terrible concoction. With a pathetic looking salad of just a green bean, olive, and lime, this was definitely not up to the same standard as the rest of the meal. Go for the best breakfast you'll ever have, but skip the bloody this time.
Brocach Irish Pub		The Guinness added to this bloody makes for a rich and creamy drink. It has a solid salad with a mushroom, which is something you don't see very often. If you don't mind paying a little more than usual, I would highly recommend checking this one out.
Cabana Room		I was very disappointed with this Bloody. There was just something slightly off with the taste, and I was not even offered a chaser even when I paid full price for it.
Cadillac Bar		Featured a simple salad of a celery stick, lime, and celery salt on the rim
Cafe Continental		Bloody was solid in general, but it just seemed to me that something was missing flavor-wise.
Caribou Tavern		This bloody narrowly escaped a 0 score for salad, but luckily my second bloody had more than just olives in it.
Casino		A great tasting bloody with a solid salad of pickle, olive, and brussel sprout. The bartender asked if I wanted it spicy, which of course I did, and it came out with a nice balance of spice and flavor. Their large selection of imported beers is worth a look too if you want a chaser.
Club Tavern and Grill		The Club Tavern has six Bloody Marys to pick from. I tried the Irish Breakfast, which was a classic Bloody with Jameson Whiskey added to the mix. As one might expect, this Bloody had a great kick. It also was served in a huge glass with a nice salad, including a shrimp.
Come Back Inn		Served in a beer stein, this massive bloody was only a buck with breakfast.
Del's		Best bloody mary I ever had. Includes large selection for salad.
Dobhan		An excellent and cheap bloody. They also make a great bloody maria.
Don & GG's Food & Spirits		This Bloody had a nice flavor, but had no spice at all and not much else going for it.
Eldorado		I have to agree with Dan, this Bloody was fantastic! Spicy, lots of flavor, decent salad, and a chaser made this a Bloody I want to come back for. I only wish they served brunch on more than just Sundays...
Frances' Deli		A mediocre bloody mary, served in a pint glass. The food was good though.
Genna's Lounge		I visited Genna's during the farmer's market, so I got to experience the Bloody Mary bar in all it's glory. It's impossible to judge salad and spice when you get to build the bloody yourself from a wide array of options, so full stars seem fair. Good strength, size, low cost, and beer chaser make this a definite 5 star bloody.
Glass Nickel Pizza Co.		A great bloody with lots of spice. As a bonus, they let you pick any beer on tap for a chaser.
Graze		This Bloody had way too much horseradish, which overwhelmed all other flavors. I felt a little buzzed after finishing one off though, but that might have been leftover from the night before.
Jacs		This Bloody was ok, but I didn't think it merited its full price of eight bucks! If you aren't getting the breakfast deal, which is worth it if for nothing else then their delicious frites, then you might want to pass on this one.
Jakes Northwoods		I had a hard time finishing this glass of tomato juice.
Joany's Sidekicks		This was a great Bloody. They used Sriracha hot sauce, which along with horseradish gave it a nice kick. The salad of a pickle, olives, and celery stick was adequate. It was served with a chaser of miller high life.
La Mestiza		Called a "Vampiro", this Bloody Maria was interesting. It featured decent tequila (100% agave) and a mix of tomato and fruit juices, giving it a unique taste. A tiny salad and not much spice knocked it down a bit though.
Laurel Tavern		Pickle and cheap. That's about all I can say.
Local Tavern		This bloody featured a nice salad, with olive, peppercini, celery salt, lemon and lime. It had a good bite, but I didn't really feel much of a buzz afterwords. At 5 bucks, thought it was worth it.
Marigold Kitchen		Though I thought the salsa in this bloody was a nice touch, it made it very hard to drink. That and a bit too much horseradish for my taste knocked this otherwise good bloody down a star.
Marley's		I thought it had a slightly odd taste to it.
Mickey's Tavern		This very good bloody came with an excellent salad including a pickle, red pepper, sweet onion, brussel sprout, olive, and both a lemon and lime slice. For the sake of full disclosure I should say I got this Bloody for free. We showed up at 10am but Mickey's had just changed their opening to 11. So the bartender said if we came back she'd give us a bloody on the house.
Monty's Blue Plate Diner		Though this bloody had a bit of spice to it, I really thought the tomato juice came through as the main flavor, which in my book is unacceptable.
Nick's Restaurant		This bloody came with an olive, lemon, and lime. You can get a pickle too but you have to ask for it.
Nutbush City Limits Bar and Grill		This Bloody is made from a mix, and besides being very spicy didn't have much else going for it. It was served to me with a pickle and two olives in a plastic cup, though I saw someone else drinking one from a pint glass with a chaser, which I wasn't even offered.
Original Pierre Maspero's		Though this Bloody had a good salad, it was a bit pricey and gone way to quickly. It included a lemon, lime, okra pickle, green bean, sweet onion, celery, and an olive.
Papa G's		I was too drunk already to tell how strong it was, but otherwise it was a decent bloody. I guess at this point I'm just happy to see a place where they actually offer salad in Texas without asking (and being laughed at). Lime, olive, and a mushroom for this one.
Pasqual's Hilldale		Came with a small chaser, but otherwise there was nothing special about this bloody. It definitely needed more spice.
Paul's Neighborhood Bar		Not a bad bloody. Served in a regular rocks glass, this bloody came with pickle, olives, and a lemon, and was only 3 bucks. I would avoid ordering the english muffins with breakfast though...
Plaza Tavern and Grill		Middle of the road Bloody with just olives, a lemon and lime for the salad. It has a full body and a somewhat sweet taste.
Sardine		This Bloody was thick with salsa and had a terrific taste. Though like Dan, I also thought it could have had a bit more spice.
Silver Dollar		Surprisingly good but simple Bloody here.
Silver Eagle		This is the first Bloody Mary bar I've been to in the Madison area where I think you can create a consistently good drink. This is due to their provided house mix, which with a little Tabasco makes for a really tasty Bloody. Their insane amount of fixings is just icing on the cake.
Tequileria - DFW airport gate E12		Though I ordered a bloody, what I ended up with was watered down vodka with a celery stick in it. Almost 7 bucks too, but for airport alcohol I guess that's normal.
Tex Tubb's Taco Palace		Comes with an okra pickle and some olives. Better than any Bloody I had in Texas.
Texas Tubbs		Just your average Bloody.
The Bayou		Well, it seems like they improved their formula a bit since Dan was here, but it's still pretty mediocre.
The Green Lantern		I hate ranking these build your own Bloodys... I managed to get lucky and throw together something half decent, but that doesn't mean yours will work out as well. It's definitely worth a try though for the price!
The Hubbard Diner		A rather tasty bloody, despite the simple salad. Went down smooth, and it was strong enough to clear my hangover.
The Old Fashioned		I enjoyed the great salad on their Wisconsin Bloody, but I thought the drink itself was a little bland.
The Orpheum Theatre		Could use some more spice, and though the menu says it would have celery, olives, and pickle, mine was missing the pickle.
The Village Inn		A pickle, olive, and lemon top of this decent bloody mary.
Tornado Club Steak House		A top notch bloody with a large salad, though I feel it could have been just a little bit more spicy. Despite that this is definitely a bloody I'd recommend, especially if you're going out for steaks anyways.
Weary Traveler		I finally got around to trying this Bloody last night after going here for years, and I feel terrible for missing out on such a great Bloody for so long. Definitely recommended.
Wilsons Bar and Grill		Mediocre but cheap.
Zander's Capitol Grill		This was a rich and mildly spicy bloody. It had a good salad of pickle, celery, pepperoncini, olive, baby corn, and a spicy green bean. The price was rich too, and I wasn't sure I was getting my 7 bucks worth.
