Drag brunches, circuit nights & every party worth knowing in Dallas — in your inbox every week.
Drag brunch in Dallas runs on set dates rather than every weekend, so the way to plan is by the calendar. Virgin Hotels Dallas holds themed drag brunches in The Manor, its fourth-floor space on Turtle Creek Boulevard. Punch Bowl Social in Deep Ellum runs Drag Me to Brunch once a month, and Friends Only on Florence Street has a drag brunch on the second Saturday of the month.
This guide covers each one, with the next dates, times, prices, age rules and booking details as the venues publish them. For the nighttime side of the city's drag scene, which has shows most nights of the week, see our companion guide to drag shows in Dallas.

I'm Robbie, the founder of Out x Out. I'm from Minneapolis, though I'm spending 2026 building this community from the road — somewhere between South America and Asia. The idea for Out x Out came from a trip to Berlin, where the gay nightlife calendar was years ahead of ours: you could see not just where to go out, but which night to go — so naturally I wanted that kind of insider info for every city in the US (and beyond... eventually). I'm more of a behind-the-scenes type, but the whole point of this is connection: I'd take one real one over a hundred surface-level ones, and I'm trying to build that for the community, city by city.
