Chicago's largest drag brunch, every Sunday in Lakeview
The River Kitchen and Bar is a New American bar and grill in Lake View East best known for The Real Drag Brunch of Chicago, which it calls the city's largest drag brunch. Shows run every Sunday with seatings at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm, and the ticket includes bottomless mimosas, Bloody Marys, domestic beer, and well cocktails alongside the meal. By its own account the brunch has been featured on Netflix and voted one of the best in the country by Yelp. Outside of brunch the kitchen turns out shared American plates and craft cocktails in an industrial-modern room. Reserve through Tock.
