Party Down

Drag brunch

You’ve got plenty of options to choose from for a drag brunch in D.C. Most don’t boast incredible food, but let’s be real — you’re there for the show. Be it Nellie’s, Perry’s, DC Drag Brunch, or Taqueria del Barrio, be sure to bring singles and tip your performers.

Nellie’s Sports Bar, 900 U Street NW, Washington, D.C. (202) 332-6355

Perry’s, 1811 Columbia Road NW, Washington, D.C. (202) 234-6218

DC Drag Brunch at Dirty Martini, 1223 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington D.C. No phone

Taqueria del Barrio, 821 Upshur Street, NW, Washington, D.C. (202) 723-0200

La Boum

The D.C. classic has moved to a new location since we reviewed it, but the party must go on. Indeed, La Boum has had several venues but never ceases to be the craziest party brunch in the District. The brunch buffet isn’t much to look at, but that’s just the precursor to a wild afternoon of drinks, dancing, and debauchery. Read our full review, here.
