Drag brunches, circuit nights & every party worth knowing in Boston — in your inbox every week.
Boston has drag brunch every weekend, and Dani's, which runs it on both weekend days, has no cover. Dani's Queer Bar in the Back Bay runs a no-cover drag brunch every Saturday and Sunday. Club Café in the South End adds a ticketed brunch with Mizery on the fourth Sunday of the month, and Carrie Nation Cocktail Club on Beacon Hill runs a Sunday buffet brunch with a show. A few restaurants add dated brunches around them.
This guide covers each one, with times, prices, age rules and booking details as the venues publish them. For the nighttime side of the city's drag scene, see our companion guide to drag shows in Boston.
What to know before you go
- Dani's has no cover. Its weekend brunches are free to attend; you RSVP on OpenTable to hold a table or bar seat.
- Most ticketed brunches are 21+. Club Café, Carrie Nation and Diva Royale list theirs as 21+; Citrus & Salt does not publish an age rule.
- Book ahead. Club Café sells tickets for each date, and Dani's asks guests to RSVP for a table.
- Bring cash for tips. Club Café notes that cash tips for the performers are customary.
Pro Tip
Dani's runs drag brunch on both weekend days, so it is the one to plan around if your dates are fixed. Club Café's brunch is once a month, on the fourth Sunday, so check the date before you build a trip around it.
