Subscribe NowNashville does brunch as a competitive sport, and drag brunch is one of the best versions of it in Music City. Between a dedicated drag-brunch restaurant on Church Street, weekend shows in East Nashville, and a steady stream of themed pop-ups, you can find queens working a room over bottomless mimosas most weekends of the year.
This guide covers where to find drag brunch in Nashville — the standing weekly shows, what each does best, and how to book before it sells out. For evening drag, bingo and dance-bar shows, see our companion guide to drag shows in Nashville.
Pro Tip
Nashville is a bachelorette and tourism magnet, so weekend drag brunch books up fast — especially in spring and over CMA Fest and Pride. Reserve your seating as soon as you have a date.
Suzy Wong's Drag'n Brunch — the dedicated show
Where: 1519 B Church St, Nashville · When: Friday–Sunday, multiple seatings
Suzy Wong's is Nashville's purpose-built drag-brunch restaurant, right in the Church Street gay district. Each seating is an interactive show with a cast of three queens, shared appetizers and your choice of entree — a set-price experience (around $35) built for celebrations, so expect birthdays and bachelorette parties in the room. It runs multiple seatings Friday through Sunday, making it the most reliable place to land a table any given weekend.
Pro Tip
Suzy Wong's is a ticketed, seated show — great for groups. Book the earlier seating if you want a calmer brunch, or the later one if you're there for a party.
Chapstick — drag brunch in East Nashville
Where: 1400 Woodland St, Nashville · When: Weekends
Across the river in East Nashville, Chapstick is the newer sister bar to the beloved Lipstick Lounge, and it brings drag brunch to the East Side. It's a more neighborhood-bar take on the format — weekend shows with a local cast, bottomless drinks and an easygoing crowd. Pair it with a night at Lipstick next door and you've got a full East Nashville day out.
Themed pop-ups: Flip Phone & beyond
Beyond the standing weekly shows, Nashville has a busy calendar of themed drag brunches from touring producers. Flip Phone Events runs pop-culture-themed brunches — think Gilmore Girls, a Dolly-and-Reba tribute, or a Lord of the Rings send-up — at rotating venues around town. These are booked by theme and date rather than a fixed weekly slot, so they're worth watching for if you want a specific concept.

What to expect at a Nashville drag brunch
If it's your first one, here's the shape of it. The dedicated shows like Suzy Wong's are ticketed and seated: you book a time, arrive to a table, and food and drinks come while a host and cast of queens perform between the tables. Bar-based brunches lean a little looser, with a cover or minimum and bottomless mimosas.
A few things worth knowing. Book ahead — weekend seatings sell out, and Nashville's bachelorette crowds fill rooms fast. Bring small bills, because tipping the performers directly is expected and it's how they're paid. And check the age policy: some shows are all-ages while others are 21+ for the bottomless-drinks setup.
Pro Tip
Bring cash for tips even when the venue is card-only for food and drinks. Tipping the queens during their numbers is part of the etiquette — and keeps the show coming to your table.
Where to stay
Church Street puts you walking distance from Suzy Wong's and the rest of the gay district, with downtown and Broadway a short ride away; East Nashville is the move if you're centering your trip on Lipstick and Chapstick. A few bookable picks below.

Where is the best drag brunch in Nashville?
For a dedicated, interactive show with a full cast, Suzy Wong's Drag'n Brunch on Church Street is the go-to, running multiple seatings Friday through Sunday. For a neighborhood-bar vibe on the East Side, Chapstick brings drag brunch to East Nashville. And for a specific theme, watch the touring pop-up calendar from producers like Flip Phone.
What days is drag brunch in Nashville?
Most of it is Friday through Sunday. Suzy Wong's runs several weekend seatings, Chapstick does weekend shows in East Nashville, and themed pop-ups usually land on Saturdays. Between them you can find a drag brunch nearly every weekend of the year.
How much does drag brunch cost in Nashville?
The dedicated seated shows run on a set ticket price — Suzy Wong's is around $35 and includes the show plus food. Bar-based brunches typically use a cover or minimum with bottomless mimosas as an add-on. In every case, budget extra cash for tipping the performers.
Do you need reservations for drag brunch in Nashville?
Yes, especially for the ticketed shows and any weekend in season. Suzy Wong's is reservation-based and sells out, and Nashville's heavy bachelorette and tourist traffic fills rooms early. Book as soon as you have a date.
Is drag brunch in Nashville family-friendly?
It depends on the venue. Some drag brunches are all-ages while bar-based shows with bottomless drinks are 21+, so check each venue's policy before bringing anyone under 21. The performances are playful, comedy-and-lip-sync entertainment.
How does tipping work at drag brunch?
Tipping is expected, and it's how the performers are paid. Bring small bills and tip the queens directly as they work the room during their numbers — it's part of the etiquette and keeps the energy at your table.

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.
