“ You want DC Drag Brunch?! Nellie's is where you NEED to be. World class queens; wonderful, thoughtful service, and a good a** time! Ashley, and the whole team took great care of us. I felt particularly appreciative -we celebrated 600 days of alcohol sobriety for someone in our group, and Ashley/the team made that feel sooo special. Do not miss it. ”
“ What an experience from beginning to end! A small dive bar in DC with the best drag brunch! Prosecco was flowing, food was surprisingly good but basic, but the show OMG the show was the cake topper for sure. A must whether you live or just visiting DC. But make sure you book in advance. We even had a guest appearance outside of the event ”
“ Happy Pride Month Great place to hang on the balcony and chill and also a great place to be at for great club vibes. Oh and let's not forget the drag show...the queens are amazing! Good bar food and nice drinks! ”
“ Here's the deal (in my opinion). You don't go to drag show brunch for food. You go to be entertained. And these queens are fabulous. The food was perfectly mediocre. Protein was generally over cooked (I had pork chop and meatballs), veg was over cooked and stringy (asparagus). Carbs were pretty good (pasta salad, mashers, Mac and cheese). Dessert was good (banana pudding). Service wasn't bad. Had to ask for water 4 times and had to wait a bit for drinks. But all of that said, I am 100% coming back. The show was great!! I LOVED the music. And some of the shenanigans were hysterical. And the drinks were STRONG (just the way I like them)! I had the Octopussy (because how could you pass that up) and it was tasty!!!!. Nellie's is also very easy to get to from the metro station. ”
“ What an incredible experience! They let us know that their show was top-five in the country and I certainly believe it. The entire energy of the event was wonderful from start to finish. We also were extremely impressed by the all you can eat brunch options which we thought may not be good but after eating it we were very eager to go back for a second. The amount of choices they have as well as how good the food was definitely worth the price. Options for food were anything from ribs, eggs, fruit and a lot of side dish options. Cannot wait to go back for another drag brunch. ”
