Subscribe NowDrag brunch is a full-blown weekend ritual in Los Angeles — bottomless mimosas, lip-sync numbers between courses, and a queen working the room while you eat. Most of it happens in West Hollywood, where a handful of gay bars and restaurants run drag brunch every Saturday and Sunday, and the best ones book out days ahead. If you're in LA for a weekend, it's one of the easiest, most fun things you can do.
This guide covers where to go, what each brunch is known for, when they run, and how to book — plus what to expect if it's your first one. (For evening drag shows, revues, and the Latin drag scene, see our separate guide to drag shows in Los Angeles.)

Drag Brunch, LA-Style
Los Angeles didn't invent drag brunch, but as the home of RuPaul's Drag Race and more working drag performers than any other city, it has one of the deepest benches for it in the country. The tradition is concentrated in West Hollywood, where a cluster of gay bars and restaurants along Santa Monica Boulevard turn every weekend into back-to-back seatings of bottomless mimosas and lip-sync numbers. Because the venues are all within a few walkable blocks, WeHo is the rare place where you could, in theory, do a different drag brunch both Saturday and Sunday and never move your car.
What sets LA apart isn't just the volume — it's the range. You've got the see-and-be-seen spectacle at The Abbey, the Latin imitadoras tradition at Micky's Sunday brunch, a party-forward rooftop version at Beaches, and the casual, campy, group-friendly take at Hamburger Mary's. Whatever your speed, there's a version of it here, and it's one of the most reliable good times in the city on a weekend.
Micky's
8857 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood
Micky's runs two very different weekend brunches, and between them it's the most reliable drag brunch on the boulevard. Saturday is Brunch with the Divas, a classic WeHo drag brunch with a rotating cast; Sunday is the Las Reinas Latin Diva Drag Brunch, which brings the city's Spanish-language drag talent to the WeHo stage — a genuinely different flavor from the standard brunch, and worth planning a Sunday around. Micky's is also a full nightclub, so a brunch here pairs naturally with sticking around (or coming back) for its evening drag shows — making it the easiest single venue to build a whole drag day around.
- Saturday, 1:00 PM — Brunch with the Divas
- Sunday, 1:00 PM — Las Reinas Latin Diva Drag Brunch
Both are ticketed with reservations; book through Micky's.
Pro Tip
Micky's Sunday Las Reinas brunch is the one to book if you want something beyond the standard WeHo show — it spotlights the *imitadoras* (Latin celebrity-impersonation) tradition that most tourist brunches never touch.
The Abbey
692 N Robertson Blvd, West Hollywood
The Abbey is one of the most famous gay bars in the country, and its weekend drag brunch is exactly the see-and-be-seen affair you'd expect — a big, buzzy room, a sprawling patio, and queens working the crowd. It's the one that ends up on everyone's LA itinerary, which is both the draw and the catch: the shows are polished and the setting is iconic, but it's also the most touristy and the hardest to get into on a weekend. Saturday and Sunday both run a drag brunch (the Sunday edition is billed as Sunday Service), drawing a mix of locals, tourists, and bachelorette parties. If The Abbey is on your list, treat the reservation as non-optional.
- Saturday, ~1:00 PM — Drag Brunch
- Sunday, ~1:00 PM — Sunday Service Drag Brunch
Reservations are strongly recommended; confirm seating times on The Abbey's reservations page.
Beaches
8928 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood
Beaches (the tropical-themed rooftop spot on Santa Monica Boulevard) runs WIPEOUT Sundays, a poolside-vibe drag brunch with midday seatings and shows, booked through Tock. It's the most party-forward of the WeHo brunches — think day-drinking energy with a drag show attached — and a good pick if you want the brunch to roll straight into an afternoon out. With two seatings (roughly noon and 2:30) and shows at 1 and 3, it's also the easiest to slot into a Sunday: take the earlier one for a lower-key meal, or the later one if you want it to become the day. Of the WeHo options, it leans youngest and rowdiest, so it's a strong group pick if your crew wants the brunch to double as the pre-game.
- Sunday — WIPEOUT Sundays (seatings around noon and 2:30 PM; shows 1:00 & 3:00 PM)
Book through Tock; weekend seatings sell out.
Pro Tip
Drag performers largely work for tips, so bring a stack of small bills — tipping between numbers is part of the experience, and the queens will absolutely notice (and clock) a table that doesn't.
Hamburger Mary's
8288 Santa Monica Blvd
Hamburger Mary's is burgers-with-a-show, and its weekend drag brunch is the more casual, campy end of the LA brunch scene — big portions, a rowdy room, and a drag host running the floor. It's the spot for a group or a birthday that wants the fun without the WeHo velvet-rope energy. (Mary's is also home to Legendary Bingo, LA's famous drag-queen charity bingo, if you want to make a weekend of it.)
- Saturday & Sunday — Drag Brunch (multiple seatings; times shift week to week)
Book through the venue's events page.
Pro Tip
Every WeHo drag brunch sells out on weekends — especially for bachelorette and birthday groups, which these rooms are built for. Reserve as far ahead as you can (a week or more for a Saturday), and expect a fixed two-hour seating rather than a walk-in.
Which LA Drag Brunch Should You Pick?
They're all within a few blocks of each other, so the choice comes down to vibe:
- Want the famous one / a big scene? The Abbey. It's the name everyone knows, and the room and patio are the see-and-be-seen center of WeHo.
- Want the most reliable, or something different? Micky's — a classic Saturday brunch, plus the Sunday Las Reinas Latin-diva show you won't find elsewhere.
- Want a party that rolls into the afternoon? Beaches and its rooftop WIPEOUT Sundays, the most day-drinking-forward of the bunch.
- Bringing a group, or want it casual and campy? Hamburger Mary's — burgers, big portions, and a relaxed, birthday-friendly room.
- Celebrating something? Any of them will make a fuss over a birthday or bachelorette if you tell them ahead — that's their bread and butter.
Whichever you choose, the move is the same: book ahead, come hungry, and bring cash to tip.
What to Expect at an LA Drag Brunch
If it's your first drag brunch, here's the shape of it: you book a timed seating (usually two hours), you're served brunch — eggs, burgers, chicken and waffles, that kind of thing — and between courses, one or more drag performers do lip-sync numbers, comedy, and crowd work, often pulling people up or roasting the birthday table. It's high-energy and interactive by design — this is not a quiet meal, and the performers feed off the room, so the more the crowd gives, the better the show gets. Most WeHo brunches are ticketed or have a per-person minimum, and drinks (especially bottomless mimosas) are usually extra, so the real cost tends to land higher than the sticker price once you add drinks and tips.
A few practical notes:
- Book ahead and arrive on time — seatings are timed, and late arrivals lose the table.
- Bring cash to tip — the performers work for tips, not a salary.
- Come ready to participate — sit near the front if you want to be in the show, or toward the back if you'd rather just watch.
- Ages vary — daytime restaurant brunches can be more all-ages-friendly than the evening bar shows, but policies differ by venue, so confirm if you're bringing anyone under 21.
Pro Tip
Doing a full LA weekend? Stack a Saturday drag brunch (Micky's or The Abbey) with an evening drag show, then a Sunday Las Reinas or Beaches brunch. It's the easiest way to see the range of the city's drag without leaving West Hollywood.
Beyond West Hollywood
While WeHo is the center of gravity, drag brunch does surface elsewhere in the sprawl. Precinct in Downtown LA runs a recurring Sunday drag brunch (its "Over Easy" brunch), though it's more of a special-event than a locked weekly — check the venue's calendar before making a plan around it. And LA is a regular stop for touring drag-brunch brands like Diva Royale, which run ticketed shows at rotating restaurants around the city and are booked online in advance. These are a fine backup if the WeHo brunches are sold out, but they're a more mainstream, tourist-oriented product than the neighborhood's own long-running shows — for the real LA drag-brunch scene, the West Hollywood venues above are where locals actually go.
If you're specifically after Latin drag, note that the imitadoras clubs (Club Tempo, Plaza) run their revues at night rather than at brunch — the daytime Latin drag experience is Micky's Sunday Las Reinas.
Drag Brunch on Pride & Big Weekends
If you're in town for WeHo Pride (early June) or another big weekend, the drag brunches become the hottest tables in the city and sell out well ahead — every venue runs them, often with extended seatings and special editions. Book as early as you possibly can, and expect higher prices and longer waits than a normal weekend. The upside: Pride-weekend brunch, with the parade route right outside on Santa Monica Boulevard, is about as good as LA drag brunch gets.
Where to Stay
Nearly every LA drag brunch is in West Hollywood, so staying in WeHo puts you walking distance from all of them. These WeHo-area hotels keep you close:

When is drag brunch in Los Angeles?
Drag brunch in LA runs on weekends — Saturday and Sunday — almost entirely in West Hollywood. The main options are Micky's (Brunch with the Divas on Saturday, Las Reinas Latin Diva Drag Brunch on Sunday, both around 1:00 PM), The Abbey (Saturday and Sunday), Beaches (WIPEOUT Sundays), and Hamburger Mary's (Saturday and Sunday). All take reservations and sell out.
How much does drag brunch cost in LA?
Most LA drag brunches are ticketed or have a per-person minimum, generally in the $30–$60 range depending on the venue and whether food and bottomless drinks are included. Bottomless mimosas are usually an add-on, and tips for the performers are cash and expected on top.
Do you need reservations for drag brunch in LA?
Yes — reservations are strongly recommended for every WeHo drag brunch, and weekend seatings (especially Saturdays and for groups) sell out days ahead. Book directly through each venue or its ticketing partner, and expect a fixed two-hour seating.
What's the best drag brunch in Los Angeles?
It depends on the vibe you want. The Abbey is the famous, see-and-be-seen choice; Micky's is the most reliable, with two distinct brunches including the Latin-diva Sunday; Beaches is the party-forward rooftop option; and Hamburger Mary's is the casual, campy, group-friendly pick. All are in West Hollywood and walkable to each other.
Is there Latin drag brunch in Los Angeles?
Yes — Micky's Sunday Las Reinas Latin Diva Drag Brunch spotlights the city's Spanish-language imitadoras drag talent, a different tradition from the standard WeHo brunch. It's the best-known Latin drag brunch on the boulevard.
Where can I take a group for drag brunch in LA?
All of the WeHo drag brunches cater to groups — bachelorette parties, birthdays, and big tables are their bread and butter. Hamburger Mary's and Micky's are especially group-friendly and a bit more casual, while The Abbey is the splashier choice. Book well ahead for any group over four, and tell the venue if you're celebrating.

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.
