No Neck Tony’s definitely does not disappoint when it comes to a Bloody Mary. Located in downtown Stillwater, this is exactly the kind of spot that makes exploring this historic river town so much fun.
The first thing that caught my eye was the surprise garnish on top: a giant serving of Minnesota sushi. If you’re not familiar, Minnesota sushi is the classic Midwestern party appetizer made with a pickle, cream cheese, and ham rolled together and sliced into bite-sized pieces. No Neck Tony’s takes it to the next level by serving a full roll-up on top of the Bloody Mary. The bartender also shared that theirs is finished with everything bagel seasoning, adding another layer of flavor to this already perfect Bloody Mary snack.
The presentation was one of my favorites. It came in a beautiful glass with a salted rim, a slice of lemon, a piece of cheddar cheese, and a fun little clothespin holding a gold coin. Add in a beer chaser, and this Bloody Mary checks all the classic boxes while still bringing something unique to the table.
The bartender also shared that their mix uses Clamato as the base, which gives it that extra savory, slightly briny flavor that Bloody Mary fans love. Combined with the seasoning on the rim and the Minnesota sushi garnish, this one had a really memorable flavor profile.
At $13, it’s a great value for what you’re getting—not just a drink, but a full experience.
