Von Trier has long been known for its German beer hall atmosphere, and their Bloody Mary is a worthy addition to the experience.

This one comes with everything you’d hope for in a classic Wisconsin Bloody, including a handmade Wisconsin beef stick, cheese, olive, lemon, and lime, along with a shorty beer chaser. The handmade beef stick is a nice local touch that helps set this Bloody apart.

The mix itself was flavorful and easy to drink, making it a great companion whether you’re stopping in for brunch or simply enjoying one of Milwaukee’s classic neighborhood taverns.

Von Trier does what it does best—classic, unpretentious, and consistently good. If you’re already stopping in to this east side establishment for a beer, don’t overlook the Bloody Mary.
