Looking for a brunch option with a bang? Check out these wild drag brunches in London.
London loves a brunch. Every weekend the capital is awash with bottomless options and dishes of eggs Florentine, benedict and every type of poached egg on toast in between. But there’s one type of brunch that really hits when you want to push the boat out – that’s the drag brunch.
A wild and wonderful affair where the drinks flow and your experience is hosted by an array of flamboyant queens laying on entertainment in the form of burlesque dances, singalongs, bingo, and more.
We love it. To be honest, we’ve been to a fair few in our time and they regularly blow the usual slew out the water. Trust us, you’ll never look back.
Best Drag Brunches in London
Drag Brunch with Bottomless Carbs & Bubbles
Clapham
On the last Sunday of every month, Osteria Mbare in Clapham throws open the doors for a wild party with a house (that’s the group noun for drag queens) of glamorous ladies as your hosts.
The idea is that you put away as much pasta and prosecco as you can, and while you quickly become as wild and flamboyantly drunk Kyran Thrax and drag DJ Vivian Bam Bam will lay on the entertainment.
That usually involves lip-syncing shows to classic tunes, with no small amount of high leg kicking and extravagance – often with the help of two special guests.
Skylight Bottomless Drag Brunch
Peckham
Skylight Peckham is a venue we love. They lay on some great events all year round – one of those happens to be a pretty killer drag brunch and a strong contender for the best drag brunch London has to offer.
You’ll have 90 minutes of bottomless prosecco, Corona or Bloody Mary to quaff and a choice of a brunch main (no, drinking extra Marys isn’t a proper meal) as you quaff and dine to your heart’s content.
Your hosts? A crew of sassy drag queens that dish out performances to the sound of house, and Garage tracks to a backdrop of some very impressive views of London.
Smells Like Queen Spirit Drag Brunch
Marble Arch
If you’re looking for a bottomless drag brunch, London has you covered. There are some seriously good options happening on the weekends all around the city. Smells Like Queen Spirit happens to be one of our favourites.
They do their thing at SOUND Cafe in central London – the ideal location for a wild afternoon of debauchery and glamour. Fabulous (dahling) performances are done throughout and drag queens host immersive games throughout.
It’s always a wild affair. You will not leave anything near sober and you’ll have the time of your life.
La Fiesta Bottomless Drag Brunch
Covent Garden
Hosted every Saturday with bottomless options and party games, La Fiesta is one of the most poppin’ drag brunches London does.
They take over the Tequila Mockingbird on William IV Street and fill it full of party animals, and of course, glamorous drag queens. The queens lay on stunning burlesque shows while you chow down on unlimited pizza and put away as many margaritas, glasses of ‘seccy or pints of beer as you can manage.
Then the games begin: piñatas will be smashed, limbo skills will be flexed and musical bingo will be played.
Bougie Drag Bottomless Brunch
Temple
If you like your debauched drag brunches with a touch of the classy, this bi-weekly affair is the one for you.
They gather large crowds for larger-than-life performances that last longer than most of your other London drag brunch options can offer, meaning the party keeps on going until you drop.
The food here is decent too. Burgers in beef, chicken and vegan options will be your choice alongside 90 minutes of bottomless brunch, catwalk competitions, dance offs and more.

Mrs Riot Drag Brunch
Covent Garden
Another enormously popular drag queen brunch London does so well is the weekly offering at Mrs Riot. They kick things off every Saturday with a wild and wonderful brunch that’s hosted by a house of fire-spitting, twerking, knee-high heeled boot-wearing queens that bring the party to life.
The big draw here (other than the wild entertainment of course) is the array of classy cocktails on offer. They do lovely creations like Pink Bellinis, raspberry-prosecco numbers that slip down all too easily, spritzes galore, and for 90 minutes you can drink as many of them as you can manage.
Practical Tips for Exploring the Best Drag Brunches in London
- To avoid disappointment, make sure you book these in advance. They’re popular and will sell out quickly. Expect to book a couple of weeks in advance for the more popular options too.
