Went for the Bloody Mary and was not disappointed. Holy crap. Amazing. In the bloody Mary game, overkill gets the points, and Big T's does this in spades... I happen to catch it on a quiet morning, so it was an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Tried it a second time and it was pretty busy, so had to put up with that hustle and bustle. Not a deal breaker for me, but I do love a "quiet" dive bar... Certainly a non-issue for most patrons. Being busy pays the bills...

We love the bartender destiny. She's cool. They need to accept credit cards. We hate atm machines. Bloody Mary's are awesome

I LOVE bloody marys, and this is the best bloody I have ever had, and only for $5 on Sundays!! They always change up their fixins for certain holidays or events. The bar is small so it fills up quickly especially for sports events. If you love bloodys you have to try Big Ts!
