6 places for drag brunch in metro Phoenix: Where to see the queens and sip mimosas

Looking to be served realness — and a mimosa brunch?

Comedy clubs, cafes and restaurants across metro Phoenix host weekly or monthly drag brunches where the Valley’s most talented drag performers entertain audiences with their charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent. A side of bottomless mimosas doesn’t hurt, either.

Whether you’re looking to enjoy some day drinking with friends and a side of live entertainment or you're ready to sing along and hype up lip-syncing drag queens, these six places should have the right event for you.

A pro tip: Head to the ATM or do a cash-back purchase before your outing so you can tip your performers. Also, most of these events are for age 21 or older.
