Review is for drag brunch: loved the queens, my friends and I had a great time. But…the tickets insisted we get there by 10:45…no one let us in, doors locked until 11:10. We only got one plate of food each. I legit left hungry (and I’m small). Staff acts like you have time to get food whenever, you don’t. And we were kicked out by 12:50…less than two hours for $57 entry tickets?! No honey

First time visit! The music was bumping from the outside. Very cool easy vibe, with great music, great people and food. A very neat place to chill and have lunch and drinks.

Went there for one of the drag brunches. When you arrive, you start off upstairs in the bar, which has outside areas to stand. Then they bring you down in groups from big to small. Once downstairs, there are instructions and mimosas/blood Mary's for all. You can also buy regular drinks on the menu and pay for those separately. Then they send you to the buffet line table by table--family reunion style! The food was on point! A good availability of vegetarian options, which was dope. The show was really entertaining and engaging! I had a great time!

I would contact them... They are such an open minded management. They would probably allow some type of daytime function. Good luck.

$40+. I can't remember the exact amount.

I am 19 years old, am I old enough to go here? Asking because a lot of pride bars and clubs only allow people 21+

You would be able to attend the drag brunch only. We are normally a 21 & up venue

Is Nellie’s a straight bar now? I googled “straight bars U St” and Nellie’s came up. It seems like we run the gay’s out of this bar 😕

can I bring my 16 yr old for dinner

Ms. D'agi | Oct 2, 2019
Raven Williams | Oct 2, 2019

They serve alcohol beverages there I don't remember them asking for and ID at the door that there is a bar there so I'm not sure if that's a good place for a 16 year old to be and then they have drag shows and I'm not sure if you but want to expose your child without explaining where they work on Wayne and what was going on there but it's a very fine place for adults

What time does the DJ start on Sunday? And does the DJ that Dj's on Sunday differ music wise than the one on Friday nights? Like does he play more hip hop or less hip hop than the DJ on Friday nights?

Trevor Jarretsville | Oct 2, 2019
D B | Oct 2, 2019

Honest answer.... Your hip hop is going to be limited here, regardless of the night. If you're really looking for hip hop you might check out the fireplace. Not so clean, not so cute, but nice stiff drinks and.... Hip Hop! Hope this helps..

silly, really, but do you still sell Devil's Backbone.....? More importantly, do you think you'll still be selling it September 20th onward?

John Graham | Oct 2, 2019
Chris | Oct 2, 2019
