In Miami, that’s practi- cally ancient history. Restaurants have opened and closed, queens have come and gone, and entire brunch empires have been built, while some publications are still recommending spots that barely host shows anymore. Meanwhile, every weekend across South Florida, drag performers are serving high kicks, death drops, comedy, choreography, celebrity impersonations, and enough se- quins to blind someone from three blocks away. Pair all that fabulousness with bottom- less mimosas, flowing cocktails, and brunch menus worth showing up hungry for, and you’ve got one of the most entertaining ways to spend a Saturday or Sunday. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, en- tertaining out-of-town guests, planning a bachelorette party, or simply looking for an ex- cuse to day drink before noon, these four drag brunches continue to set the standard. From iconic South Beach institutions to intimate neighborhood favorites, these are the best and most legendary drag brunches in South Flor- ida right now, listed in alphabetical order.

Palace Bar & Restaurant No drag brunch list would be complete without Palace, one of the most iconic establishments on Ocean Drive and a South Beach institution for more than three decades. Widely regarded as one of Miami Beach’s most legendary and longest-running drag brunches, Palace delivers larger-than-life performances, dazzling cos- tumes, and nonstop entertainment in the heart of South Beach. The queens don’t stay confined to a stage; they take the show beyond the res- taurant and onto the sidewalk, where they turn Ocean Drive itself into part of the spectacle. Expect hilarious crowd interaction, fierce cho- reography, signature cocktails, and an atmo- sphere that feels like a party from the moment you arrive.
