It’s inevitable most of us will have hangovers the next day, so head to a few of these places for some much needed nourishment…

Baldoria’s hangover brunch starts at 11 a.m. with $15 bottomless champagne and a Mrs. Croque Pizza that should cure the most stubborn of hangovers.

The Bellwether will be extending brunch hours hours till 3 p.m. on New Years Day which means guests can enjoy a Mama Betty’s Bloody Mary (served with a mini BLT) or the Easy Like Sunday Michelada and some Chili Cheese Fries made with The Bellwether’s steak style French fries that take a full three days to prepare, and topped with a fried egg.

All Dog Haus locations will be serving up a Hangover Haus Burger, featuring smoked bacon, haus chili topped with a fried egg, served along a brown-bagged PBR for just $5.99.
