The best drag brunches in Miami for a sparkly and bottomless start to your day

If the question is Miami drag brunch, the first answer is Palace. Miami Beach’s longest-running drag bar holds down Ocean Drive with two bottomless brunch seatings each Friday, Saturday and Sunday (11am and 2pm) and a single seating on Mondays (noon). For $55, enjoy a choice of brunch dishes and bottomless mimosas on the expansive outdoor patio as you take in the iconic looks, legendary lip-syncing and death-defying acrobatics of Palace’s hard-working queens.

On the mainland, R House has claimed its seat as the undisputed champion of lit weekend drag brunches. Hosted by Athena Dion, this fabulous, adults-only affair takes place every Saturday and Sunday at 11:30am and 2:30pm, when the best of Miami’s drag performers flip and twirl all over R House’s expansive restaurant and outdoor patio. Reserve your brunch package well in advance: $60 gets you access to the show plus bottomless drinks (mimosas, sangria, mojitos and soft drinks) and a pre-set menu of Latin-inspired brunch hits served family-style.

Time Out tip: If you can't make it to brunch (or it sold out before you had the chance to book), R House hosts numerous drag performances throughout the week, including evening shows on Friday and Saturday and monthly themed drag bingo nights.

Lips is a Fort Lauderdale institution whose hallowed walls have witnessed immeasurable bachelorette and birthday parties and all the shot-fuelled debauchery that goes along with those two things. Served up in a dinner theater-style setting with a proper stage and production lighting, Lips’ Dragalicious Brunch takes place Saturdays and Sundays at 11:30am and 2pm. At $39.95, the generously priced package includes your meal, a fabulous show and all-you-can-drink champagne, mimosas and Bloody Marys (or upgrade to unlimited frozen cosmos for $10 if that’s your journey).

In the wake of Hamburger Mary's comes The Well, a Canadian-imported gay bar and restaurant in the heart of Wilton Manors. Head a bit north from Miami to find the charming LGBTQ+ capital of South Florida, where The Well has breathed new life into the local drag brunch scene. Catch Throwback Brunch on Saturdays or Sunday Services with the Lords. Both shows kick off at 1pm, walk-ins are welcome and brunch is served with the requisite bottomless mimoses. 2426 Wilton Dr, Wilton Manors
