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.

I’ve had one of the worst experiences here this past Saturday. The POS system upstairs stopped working which lead to my card being swiped multiple times. After the third time, I no longer felt comfortable with having it swiped again. The bartender then snatches my drink and calls security as if I was in the wrong for my discomfort. This has become a very hostile environment for no good reason. I then spoke to a “manager” on duty and got accused of trying to receive a free drink. I’ve been to this bar for years and have paid for every drink I’ve ever received along with additional tips. I’ve tried to contact another manager or the owner via phone and have not heard back. It is very disappointing to no longer want to return to a place I’ve had many memories and supported for over a decade.
