From Drag Shows to Upscale Dining: The Best Brunch for Your Nashville Party

Suzy Wong’s is recognized as one of America’s Top 10 Drag Brunches, so the real question here is … why *wouldn’t* you go? We especially love the southern-style appetizers, and the show is so high-energy it’s impossible not to get totally sucked in. 

‍

Special features: An exciting, interactive show; delicious dishes with a southern theme; the chance to support your local queens; Insta-worthy photo ops galore

‍

Duration: 2 hours

If you want to go where the locals go, this is the place. It’s upscale without being snooty and the food will make you ooh and aah. Like, they have an oyster bar that’s shuck-to-order (AWESOME) and all the food is either local or directly sourced, so it’s super fresh. Kinda hard to go wrong here, ya know?

‍

Special features: A local favorite; live music on the weekends; reservations available for large groups

For a rowdy, rambunctious brunch, Tin Roof is your go-to, and the VIP experience makes it even more fun. You’ll get a complimentary bottle of bubbly as soon as you arrive plus up to five drinks for each member of the crew. And the brunch menu is delicious, which is great, because you’ll need some food to soak up all that booze. There’s also a dance floor and a photo booth so brunch could very easily turn into an all-day kinda thing.

‍

Special features: VIP experience; up to five drinks each plus complimentary champagne; egg-cellent eats; the perfect brunch for a wild crowd

‍

Duration: 3 hours for the VIP experience

‍

Testimonial: "Tin Roof was scheduled for our last day. It was the most fun by far. We stayed all day because we couldn’t get enough of the live bands. Just all around good vibes."  -Brandi J.

‍

Almost Friday’s is always a good option for a good time. It’s a combo sports bar, dance club, music venue, and gaming den, so it’s way more than your average brunch. We recommend checking out the “suckdown” beverage menu and, of course, you gotta try their tailgate food. 

‍

Special features: VIP room for large parties; so many photo opportunities; brunch that feels like a house party; delish drinks and dishes; nonstop booze

‍

Duration and party size: 2 hour booking; VIP room holds up to 25 people

We *always* love a drag brunch, and this one puts an extra twist on it by making it a dueling drag brunch. It’s a little bit comedy, a little bit competition, and all kinds of awesome. Add in food, drinks, and more drinks, and it’s guaranteed to be a gigglefest.

‍

Special features: Interactive fun (singing and dancing encouraged); an affordable option for groups; who doesn’t love drag queens?

‍

Duration: 90 minutes

Testimonial: "DO THIS! This was our groups FAVORITE thing we did! The drag brunch was so fun, drinks were reasonably priced, the show was interactive and SO MUCH FUN!!! Definitely recommend!!!!"  -Mackenzie B.

Okay, we love this one—brunch in your own home. That’s right, a private chef will come to your place and bring everything needed to whip up charcuterie boards that will be almost too pretty to eat. (But only almost.) There’s just something about chillin at home in your comfy clothes while a pro cooks for you that feels like the height of luxury. And you can bring your own bevs, which is a nice way to save money. Bonus: the chef can also use your booze to mix up some custom cocktails for you. So like, you really can’t go wrong here.

‍

Special features: Fully customizable for vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.; BYO alcohol saves you money; Insta will go wild for these curated culinary delights

‍

Duration and party size: 1 to 1.5 hours; minimum 6 guests, up to 25 guests

‍

This Midtown gem offers an unforgettable boozy dining experience that's perfect for any occasion. You get signature cocktails that are super fun (and maybe a little naughty), and the atmosphere is unlike anything else we’ve found. It’s def worth a visit.

‍

Special features: Fun, eclectic vibes; easy walking distance from Music Row; mouthwatering meals and boozy bevs are a great start to any day

‍

Duration: 2 hours

Here’s another brunch-at-home option, because we love the idea too much to only have one. Just tell Chef Mackensie what you like to eat and what kind of dietary restrictions y’all have, and she’ll do it all—the grocery shopping, the menu planning, the table setting, and evening the cleaning up. You could literally wake up, roll out of bed, and have the best brunch experience of your life. And if that isn’t nice, we don’t know what is.

‍

Special features: You don’t have to any of the work; save money by choosing delivery; restaurant-quality food at your own place; options for all dietary needs

‍

Duration and party size: 3 hours, minimum 6 guests

Eat, drink, and play in this party-filled atmosphere! With TVs, board games, and a whole game room with skee ball, air hockey, and more, Jasper’s is THE place to be when you like your brunch with a side of debauchery. Plus, there are tons of food options and a big ol’ drink menu (we flipped for the frozen drinks), so everyone will be able to find something they like.

‍

Special features: Tons of games and entertainment; wide variety of food; plenty of space for big groups

For a more sophisticated outing, try City Winery Nashville. It’s just minutes off Broadway, but you still get a totally classy winery experience. The food is world-class and the pairings are off the charts. And the Pop Fizz brunch lets you choose two different juices plus fruit so you can make some extra-awesome mimosas. This place won’t let you down.
