Drag brunch venues in Minneapolis and Minnesota
Flip Phone Drag Brunch at Union Rooftop and Crave
Downtown rooftops Sat or Sun Themed rounds Ages vary by round
Two words that come to mind when anyone talks about drag brunch in Minneapolis: Flip Phone. This busy producer rotates its pop-culture-themed brunches primarily through two downtown Minneapolis rooftop venues, Union Rooftop and Crave. Shows are generally at 10 AM, 12:30 PM and 3 PM on either Saturday or Sunday, and the theme changes every round: Hocus Pocus, Rocky Horror, Twilight, Taylor Swift Eras, Clue, Prince and Selena are all on the fall and winter slate. The show is built around the theme, so dress for it. The brunches sell out quickly, so check both the theme and the location before buying tickets.

Roxy’s Cabaret Sunday Drag Brunch
Downtown Minneapolis Sundays, noon Any age with an adult
Roxy’s has it all when it comes to drag cabaret: a resident cast performing numbers that pull the audience in, a full brunch menu and bottomless mimosas, in a room laid out on purpose so there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The Sunday brunch at noon is the busiest show of the week, so book early. Guests of any age are welcome as long as anyone under 18 comes with an adult, and expect adult language. It is walkable from most downtown hotels, which makes it the default for out-of-town guests and bachelorette groups.

LUSH Drag Brunch: A Brunch of Drag
Northeast Minneapolis Sat and Sun $10 18+ most dates, all-ages rounds posted
One of the most affordable drag brunches in the Twin Cities, LUSH offers A Brunch of Drag on both Saturdays and Sundays in its ticketed theater. Themes run from country divas to Broadway and everything in between, and drag kings are regularly featured alongside the queens. Most dates are 18+, but LUSH also posts all-ages rounds, making it one of the few family-friendly drag options around. Tickets are $10 (special-guest shows run higher); doors open at 11 AM with the show at 11:30 AM, and you order from the brunch menu once you’re in.

POWER: Drag Revue
Roaming, metro-wide Weekends, by event Everyone, PG-13
POWER is a drag company, not a venue, and its brunches turn up all over the metro: the rooftop at Blondette inside the Rand Tower Hotel downtown, breweries like Boom Island in Minnetonka, and Smash Park in Roseville. The format changes with the room (some tickets include a food and drink credit, others require an entrée purchase), but the shows are open to everyone with PG-13 humor, which makes POWER the easiest pick for a group with teenagers. Dates are by event, usually weekends; check the calendar above or Eventbrite.

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres Drag Brunch
Chanhassen Monthly Recommended 13+
For a consistently high-quality drag brunch in the suburbs, head to Chanhassen Dinner Theatres’ monthly offering on its legendary Main Stage, hosted by Nina DiAngelo. The dinner theatre brings its full dining and bar service, and the show is recommended for ages 13 and up (kids 5 and older at a parent’s discretion). Themes vary and are often seasonal. Brunch begins at 11 AM with the show at 12:30 PM.

Iconos Gastro Cantina Drag Brunch
South Minneapolis Sundays, 11 AM to 3 PM Bottomless mimosas
Iconos runs a Sunday drag brunch (recent dates have fallen on second Sundays) with a Latin menu, a DJ and bottomless mimosas, 11 AM to 3 PM. It gets less attention than the downtown rooms and is worth knowing about when Roxy’s is sold out.

Zenith City Horror All Ages Drag Brunch
Duluth Second Sundays All ages
Zenith City Horror, a drag and queer entertainment company in Duluth, hosts an all-ages drag brunch at Dovetail Café & Marketplace, usually on a second Sunday. Check their Instagram for the next date and tickets.

Beyond the metro
St. Paul doesn’t have a standing weekly drag brunch right now, and most of greater Minnesota’s drag brunches are one-offs tied to a city’s Pride weekend (Mankato and Rochester both do them). Those land on the calendar when organizers post them, and your favorite spot’s Instagram and Facebook are the other place to catch them. Hosting one? Add it to the calendar; listing is free.
Good to know before you go
What is a drag brunch?
A daytime drag show with brunch service. Performers lip-sync, dance and work the room while you eat, usually about an hour of show inside a two-hour seating.
What should I wear to a drag brunch?
Whatever you want, but themed rounds reward effort. Sequins, a costume for a Hocus Pocus round, your Eras era. You will not be overdressed.
Should I bring cash?
Yes. Tipping the performers is expected, and it helps keep the shows running. Bring small bills and tip the queens during their numbers.
How far ahead should I book?
Drag brunches often sell out quickly, so check dates, themes, times and locations early: a week or two for regular rounds, longer for themed rounds, Pride weekend and holidays.
Are there all-ages drag brunches?
Some brunches are family friendly, others are recommended for 13 and up or limited to 18+ or 21+, so confirm the age policy before buying tickets. LUSH posts all-ages dates, Roxy’s admits under-18s with an adult, Chanhassen is recommended for 13 and up, POWER’s shows are open to everyone with PG-13 humor, and Flip Phone rounds vary by event.
Is the food included?
Usually not. Most tickets cover the show and you order brunch à la carte; some POWER events include a food and drink credit. Chanhassen’s listing doesn’t say, so check at purchase.
Hosting a drag brunch?
Add it to the calendar. Listing is free.
