A boozy brunch is made even better as a bottomless brunch with endless rounds of food and drinks. When you’re sitting down to a brunch with friends on a weekend, the last thing you want to do is rush it. While away the hours over food and cocktails as you catch up on the week’s happenings over a bottomless brunch at one of these hip joints. 

Depending on the restaurant or location, a bottomless brunch can sometimes mean soft drinks and not alcohol, so it is best to contact the restaurant ahead of time or ask the server what their brunch includes. A Bloody Mary is a brunch drink offered most commonly, and there are usually more options like mimosas, other light breakfast cocktails, or Irish Coffee. So, if you want to drink to your heart’s desire or just twirl on your Bloody Mary, there are many places around Chicago for the perfect boozy brunch with your friends.

Try the short rib benedict and drink what you can before you rush out to your next destination.
