Listen… we don’t want you to get mad at us, but we’re trying to set a new trend here. We know that everybody is making their New Year’s resolutions, and we’re just throwing temptation in your face in the form of a New Year’s Eve brunch on January First, but let us make a case for ourselves here. We propose that New Year’s day should be a freebie. If you partied a little too hard the night before, then you shouldn’t be expected to start clanging and banging at the gym first thing in the morning on the first day of 2023. All we’re saying is that New Year’s Day should be an exception for reflection.
What we’re really trying to say is don’t be too hard on yourself. And we’ll make it easy for you in the form of $20 bottomless mimosas, and a New Year’s Cocktail List. More on that in a second, but let’s get to the brass tacks first.

New Year’s Cocktail List
It wouldn’t be a New Year’s Brunch without some hair of the dog, so let’s get into it! Whether you’re just looking for a relaxing cocktail, or you just need a hangover friendly atmosphere to work your way into the new year, we’ve got you covered!
- $20 Bottomless mimosa/roses & New Year’s Brunch Cocktails
- Large format Bloody Mary w/ Seafood Tower Garnish (stone crab leg and jumbo shrimp garnish on 20 oz bloody mary)
- Dole Whip Mimosas (Pineapple, coconut milk, prosecco, whipped topping, pineapple wedges)
- Cold Brew Negroni (cold brew infused campari, sweet vermouth, gin)
We’ll also be offering our full brunch menu, and we want you to keep your eye out for some hangover friendly food specials as well! If you’re looking for a little fluff to make you less gruff then we’ll suggest some pastries, but if you’re packing an appetite then maybe some eggs, toast, potatoes, and sausage are more your speed. We’re not going to tell you how to do brunch, but what we will promise is the best New Year’s Day meal you’ve ever had. You just bring the company and positive vibes, and we’ll do the rest. It’s the Venteux way!
