Truth be told, my group was set on Vickery Park for brunch. Since the wait was going to take quite a while, we took a walk down the street and ducked into Cuba Libre to check out their drink specials. DING DING DING, WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER … $5 bottomless mimosas and bellinis and $5 bloody marys AND their patio is dog friendly (my best friend’s dog, Leo, tagged along for brunch).
We gathered around the table and our waiter took our drink orders (though we could tell the idea of alcohol made him shudder from his activities the night before). There were so many tempting options on the menu for food we had trouble picking so we made some snap decisions, laid back, and sipped our drinks.
The bellini is frozen and very sweet, one was enough so it was great that they let us switch between the bellinis and mimosas with our bottomless deal. The first round of bloody marys were had to stomach. They weren’t very strong and they tasted quite terrible actually. When the manager came around to check on us, I let him know how I felt about the bloody mary and he apologized. Two minutes later we saw him run across the street and come back with a bottle of bloody mary mix – what a champ. Needless to say, round two was much better!
In the future, I’d say that you can’t go wrong with the steak and egg tacos and their delightful blood orange mimosa. That’s what I’ll be having on my next brunch trip!
