Brunch: the time between breakfast and lunch when the mimosas are flowing and, if you're lucky, the drag performers appear. This Pride Month, there are several drag brunches to choose from, so the SGN is here to help you narrow down your options.
For kids
In front of the iconic Pike Place Market sign, there's an all-ages show in the Rabbit Box, a small but cozy cocktail bar with a stage. "Donuts & Drag" is a free weekly performance hosted by Sativa the Queen, but she goes by Stevia when the kids are around. The show only includes a few performers, but that gives the chance for each to do three numbers.
The Rabbit Box boasts 4.8 stars on Google Maps and is known for its homemade beignets served with jam.
For the taco lovers way north of Seattle
Those who find themselves in Bellingham on June 17 should go to "Meet Me at Brunch" at Black Sheep. This 21+ show is hosted by local drag queen and P!nk mega fan Alecia Lily, and is known for its provocative dances and for having a roaring crowd. Since the venue is two stories, performers are able to make dramatic appearances downstairs and have close interactions with everyone in the audience. Entry is $10.
In addition, the food at Black Sheep is great. This 4.6-star restaurant serves a variety of Mexican dishes and drinks, with the most famous items being the tacos and the margaritas.
For the musical lover
"Mimosas Cabaret," the self-proclaimed #1 drag brunch in Seattle, puts on two shows every weekend at Unicorn, a carnival-themed 21+ bar with 4.4 stars on Google Maps, with tickets costing $30—50. The performance is accompanied by a $13 all-you-can-eat brunch buffet.
According to the ticketing website, "Mimosas Cabaret has received international acclaim for our mini musical productions, where we reimagine some of Broadway's biggest musical hits into a wild drag retelling. Our past productions include '30 Minute Hairspray,' 'The Wicked Wiz of Oz,' 'Reefer Dragness,' 'Cinderfella,' 'Hung Frankenstein,' 'Illegally Blonde,' and many more." This season's theme is "Sistah Act," a drag-fueled remake of the film and musical Sister Act.
For those who need to recover from Everett Pride's first block party
People over the age of 21 who may or may not be a little hungover from Everett Pride's block party the day before are welcome to attend Illusions Drag Brunch, hosted by Alexus Montoya, on June 18 at 11 a.m. at the Hotel Indigo.
The $50 admission comes with a buffet-style brunch and a chance to cure your hangover with mimosas. This waterfront venue has a 4.4-star rating on Google Maps.
For fans of Dungeons & Dragons
If you want a side of nerdy tabletop gaming with your eggs, you should check out "A Brunch of Adventure," hosted by the Dungeons and Drag Queens.
The ticketing site says guests will be treated to "three of the queerest Queens in the realm [playing] the table-top roleplaying game sensation Dungeons & Dragons in front of a live audience! With comedian Paul Curry as dungeon master and live improvisational musician Carson Grubb jamming along, this is sure to be an adventure for newbies and DnD nerds alike!"
This 21+ comedy extravaganza will be held on June 18 at Nate Jackson's Super Funny Comedy Club in Tacoma. Tickets range from $20 to $125. The venue has a 4.7-star rating on Google Maps.
For those who love to gamble
If you enjoy a game of cards or some fun at the slot machines between eating your brunch and watching drag shows, you should go see "The Royal Flush: Queens Are Wild" drag brunch at the Great American Casino in Tukwila on June 18 and 25. It is hosted by Seattle drag performers Irene the Alien and Queen Andrew Scott. Tickets for this 21+ show range from $10 to $300.
The venue holds a 3.6-star rating on Google Maps.
For those who can't stop saying things are "camp"
Those who like to be seated in nice restaurants while watching shows should check out "A Very Kampy Drag Brunch" at Kamp Social House every second and fourth Sunday of the month, hosted by Jane Don't.
According to the ticketing site, "Brunch with a table-side show is what you can expect...with performances by Kamp's resident Queen MyAikó and a rotating third performer. DJ BB Brizz makes it bump all morning long. Come hungry, bring your singles (friends and $), and prepare for a great time."
The venue of this 21+ brunch has a 4.7-star rating on Google Maps.
