There's a new brunch room on the river: Mimosas

At the corner of Blount and Chapman, on the ground floor of The Davy, Mimosas has been quietly pouring bottomless brunch since the fall. Consider this your introduction.

Brunch, by the river

Not everything in this week's Ear is happening for the first time this weekend — some of it has just been waiting for us to catch up. Mimosas opened last November on the ground floor of The Davy, the apartment high-rise at Blount Avenue and Chapman Highway, and somehow we haven't sent you there yet. Fixing that now.

Where
222 E. Blount Ave — ground floor of The Davy, at Blount & Chapman
Weekend brunch
Sat & Sun · 9 AM–3 PM
The draw
Bottomless mimosas · $5 mimosas & $6 Bloody Marys
Getting in
Walk in, or reserve on Resy

It's an all-day brunch-and-cocktails room from Kennedy Concepts — the group behind Cafe 4 and The Kennedy downtown — built around exactly what the name promises. Bottomless mimosas on the weekend, five-dollar mimosas and six-dollar Bloody Marys any day, and a proper brunch menu Saturday and Sunday from nine to three. There's a happy hour on weekdays, three to six, if a Tuesday needs saving.

One housekeeping note, because we like to get these right: the address turns up two ways online — 222 East Blount Avenue in most listings, a Mimosa Avenue number on a couple of others. It's the ground floor of The Davy at Blount and Chapman; you'll find it. Brunch is a walk-in kind of morning, so you can just show up — but if you'd rather lock in a table, reserve on Resy.
