Bachelorettes Only, Peasants to the Left Look, I love a drag brunch as much as the next glitter-loving gay, but Palace Bar needs to stop pretending they're running a spacious venue when it's clearly a glorified runway for bachelorette parties. We showed up for the $60-per-person bottomless brunch (plus that delightful automatic 20% tip they tack on so you don't forget who's really winning), and guess what? The entire center aisle where the show actually happens is 100% reserved for the "woo girls" in sashes and penis straws. The rest of us? Shoved into side tables around a corner with zero view, or worse -- straight-up baking in the Florida sun like forgotten rotisserie chickens. Five queens performed. Two of them? Absolute fire -- serving face, lip-syncing for their lives, and clearly the only ones who showed up to work. The other three? Mostly just wandering around collecting tips like it was their full-time job. Honey, I paid for entertainment, not an extended GoFundMe with jazz hands. The mimosas? More like "mimo-sas." My boyfriend and I are certified lightweights and we barely caught a whisper of a buzz. At that price point, I expected to feel something besides regret. The only saving grace? The gogo-boy servers. 10/10, no notes, keep doing what you're doing, kings. Palace Bar, do us all a favor: either admit you don't have enough space for the crowd you're selling tickets to, or stop giving the "no-view" tables to people who actually made reservations. Let the walk-ups roast in the sun -- at least they'll know what they signed up for. Right now you're charging full price for half the experience, and the queens deserve better than performing to a wall of hungover bridesmaids who stopped tipping after the first round. Would I go back? Only if they let the rest of us sit where the show actually happens. Until then... three stars and a very strong side-eye. read more

One of my favorite places to watch a fun and energetic drag show! Akasha is one of my favorites and knows how to bring it! Always courteous and ensures her customers are always having a great time and feel at home! read more

Was in Miami for a daughter and mom trip with her friend and mom! We had a blast here! We caught the end of the drag show which was fun as well! Lunch was good! We then headed to the rooftop where we had a blast with bartender Carlos! He was attentive and super sweet! Our brunch turned into a few hours there with great music played by Carlos! Beautiful view of the ocean and sunset! Only downfall was the music was switched to a DJ which made our stay there come to an end! Other than that had a blast while it lasted! read more

Known for their iconic drag brunch and definitely a must-stop in Miami. The food is solid, comes out pretty quick, and the bottomless mimosas stay flowing. Just know--if you're going for the drag brunch, it's a lot of drag. Each performer does multiple full numbers, so it can feel long. We've left early a couple times either for other plans or just drag fatigue. Go to the restroom before the show starts. Trust me. read more

The food was great. The show was great. The venue was great. Took family and friends and we laughed and ogled and shouted. The family has already committed to a return visit. The setting is on ocean drive, across from the beach, so expect ocean drive prices. What i didn't expect was the deliciousness of our meals ... i sampled some of what others had. And i didn't expect to have so much fun. Loved it, recommend it, enjoyed ourselves, ready to return. The show was spectacular and the staff and patrons were all kind and friendly. just do it. Visit. Enjoy. read more

I had such a great time at this drag brunch in Miami and it did end up being one of the highlights of the trip! I really loved that they incorporated their show outdoors and event got pedestrians and motorists on the street to participate. Not to mention entrance to the rooftop pool after the show, which was a pleasant surprise. The show itself was entertaining and the food was decent. The reason I cannot give it 5 stars though, is because I only saw 50% of the show, and that might be generous. Not all seating is created equal, and I don't think they should have any seats that offer you no view of the show for such a large chunk of the time, especially for what you pay to attend. read more

Palace Bar was such a fun stop for our bachelorette night after dinner. We went on a Saturday and the place was popping -- we snagged the last table available, which already felt like a win. Everything was super easy and accommodating. When we asked for more chairs, they brought them out right away for the girls. The vibes were immaculate from start to finish. The music was on point, the drag queens absolutely crushed it with their performances, and the energy in the room was unreal. Midway through the night, they started a line dance that went around the entire bar, which was such a highlight and got everyone involved. We stayed until around 2 a.m., ended the night with the bride getting very drunk, very happy, and with zero regrets. Also, shoutout to the hostess Tiffany for giving out bride a shoutout and taking a shot with her. So fun!! read more

I have been to restaurants but none like this. Seating is indoors and out but reservations are key. And if you came for a show make sure you book those times. The energy here is on 10 from the time you touch the street. You can hear the roar from the crowd from a block away. People stop to watch the happenings even if they don't come to stay. For the price it was well worth it bottomless mimosa sign me up and our cups never saw the bottom as I took a sip it back to the top. You get to choose any item from the menu included in your price and there was something for every taste bud. I had the fired eggplant which for me to eat the eggplant had to cut then and fried to a crisp and it was never did I think to pair it was scrambled eggs but that turned out to be a great pairing . And our sever Jeremy was a great sport. I will surely come back when in south beach. read more

Palace! I was recently in Miami for work, I was there solo and Palace happened to be a great place for a great meal, cocktail and a drag show. This place is high energy, a place to get your drink on, a place to support the drag queen dolls! The service here is fast, efficient and ready to get your libated in no time. The place has plenty of seating, but I recommend a reservation if you're a party larger than 2. This place is always a must when in South Beach! read more

So this was an experience. First timer to this spot. A friend of ours wanted to celebrate her bday here and put in a reservation weeks ahead of time. So for the most part the show was entertaining. From comedic to extravagant performances. No one missed a beat. You can tell they put work in their routines and it shows in many ways. People were also lined up outside and enjoying every bit as well. The bottomless mimosas were pretty awesome. They made sure our glasses weren't sitting low or empty. My only complaint was the food. Not that it was bad or anything but when we got our meals it was towards the end and it wasn't too warm. It was a bit cold. Flavor wise it was great. Not much salt or pepper to the steak, but the chimichurri helped. The steak and eggs were cooked pretty perfect. Medium as asked. Potatoes could use a little seasoning. I'm sure if I got it when it was warm it'd all been a bit better. Great work here! read more

I was warned NOT TO COME to this place for many reasons--overpriced drinks, nasty attitudes, and subpar food. I've got to say, I should have listened and stayed far away. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and decided to stop in for a snack and some drinks. When we arrived, what looked like a hostess just stared at us with dead eyes before going right back to her phone. We made our way to the bar and had to flag down the "bartender," who simply nodded for us to sit. I'm not sure if it was a language barrier or just a lack of interest, but when we asked about the menu and drink specials, Andrés (the "bartender") only pointed at a QR code, muttered "menu," and walked back to the corner to continue chatting with his coworker. We flagged him down again to order an appetizer. Then I asked--again--about the drink specials. Once more, he just pointed at the QR code. So I asked, "Can you tell me the drink specials?" He responded with the nastiest attitude: "YOU need to read the menu!" and walked away yet again. We ended up leaving right as the show started--the bar was completely empty, and now we know why. Such a gross experience... but honestly, I was warned. My bad. read more

World class drag show right on the main strip of South Beach. Energetic queens that kept the crowd going for over two hours. All you could drink mimosa with a brunch entree for $60 was well worth it. Mimosas were truly bottomless with the staff never letting our glasses get below half full. Getting there a little early will insure you get a good table for the performance. Overall incredible experience and will be coming back anytime we are in South Beach! read more

OMG! We had the most AMAZING time at the Drag Show brunch!! The show was fantastic and the food and drinks were great. I loved that we got limitless mimosas included with the $60 brunch. I had the brisket breakfast and my husband had the chicken and waffles. Both were absolutely delicious. There is a rooftop bar and pool where you and enjoy a great view of the city and beach. This will be a must-do activity every time we're in Miami! read more

MI EXPERIENCIA? 10/10...! Buena música, mucho show, muy buen ambiente!! Jamás había estado en un lugar así. Lo recomiendo altamente y claro que regreso. Liberas mucho y te ríes como nunca! Yo disfruté junto a mi esposo y esperamos volver. Mi única observación es que el team del bar esté al pendiente de sus "refrescos", tuve que regresar mi coca cola 3 veces porque no tenía gas y sabía muy mal. De resto, se me olvidó esa parte del servicio con todo el espectáculo y gran ambiente que se vive en Palace Bar. read more

Initially, the music and good vibes you can hear from down the block which made me attracted to coming here. Upon coming in they checked my ID and I came to sit at the bar. I was greeted by a smile in the middle of a conversation almost as if I was interrupting something. I then asked my bartender what kind of mojitos they have here. (Lots of places have very limited options) he responded with "what do you mean flavor?" In a micro attitude. I said oh I guess I'll just take a pineapple mojito. He said can I check your Id plz. I was like okay.. he turned to his friend who he was in convo with prior and they examined my ID. They laughed and both looked at me afterwards. I also witnessed him having a hard time listening to a customer and instead of taking the time to try and understand what he's saying with all the music, he kept saying "HUH" "WHAT??" Disappointed in the customer service giving the ambience that is displayed upon initial view. read more

FUN FUN FUN! Love how they make their show very interactive it keeps the energy up. Exactly what you want from a drag show! I was not expecting for the food to be as good as it was.. wow! You never know how south beach can treat you. Unlimited mimosas were weak, I much prefer to have the bottle of Prosecco at the table and let me pour my own drink. Service started kinda slow and then it picked up. I get it, there's lots going on. Overall it was an amazing and fun show! I would go back BUT when making any reservations be sure to ask to sit within the middle to inside part (under the roof) otherwise you'll end up outside-outside with zero shade, it was brutal for us and you don't see all of the fun tricks! read more

I really wanted to love Palace Bar for Sunday brunch, but honestly, it was a big letdown. We were seated off to the side, completely out of view of the show -- which is one of the main reasons people come here. Service was frustratingly slow: over the course of 2+ hours, our glasses were only refilled five times, and that was after repeatedly flagging someone down. If you're vegetarian, don't expect much from the brunch menu -- unless you eat eggs, your only option is an açaí bowl. For the price they charge, it's disappointing that the food, experience, and hospitality don't even come close to what places like R House in Wynwood deliver. Save your money -- there are better drag brunches in Miami that actually care about the guest experience! read more

I ordered a mojito, nothing fancy and assuming they use well rum unless otherwise specified. Bartender made the drink, then asked if I had cash it would be $24. I said I had $22 and he said "okay". I look at the menu 10 mins later, befuddled at how expensive that could be. Their signature cocktails are $18. I got the tourist special for sure. Read other reviews on Yelp that others have been charged different amounts, where it is more expensive with cash. I finished my drink and left and unfortunately will not return. I love supporting local queer business but not if they are running this racket. read more

What a fun time! We came for a drag brunch while visiting Miami and it was quite an experience. The queens put on quite a show - perfect for bachelorette and birthday celebrations. The food was also quite good, and bottomless mimosas are always appreciated. I had the steak and eggs with chimichurri sauce - definitely recommend that. The chicken and waffles were also delish. Bring your dollar bills for ample opportunities to tip. Touching is okay here, and you should expect to be part of the show in some capacity. As a chronic wallflower, myself, I was thankful to not be involved. Highly recommend for folks who have yet to experience a drag brunch - be warned, though, this is a mostly outdoor venue and Miami weather can get very hot and/or wet reaaaaal fast. read more

My husband and I have seen The Palace on social media and put it on our bucket list if we were ever in Miami. Yesterday (Jan 3, 2026) we got to check it off and it was way beyond our expectations! Every staff maker made you feel welcome. Our waiter, Diego, was amazing and kept our bottomless mimosas filled through the entire brunch/show. And that show!!! Those ladies are true artists! And they get the crowd involved and were so welcoming and inclusive and talented!! We attended the 2pm drag brunch and the food was amazing too! I can not recommend this event and location more!!! Please, if you are ever in Miami and looking for a really fun time - gay or straight - check out The Palace. After all, every queen needs a palace! Als, check out the rooftop bar before or after the show! read more

We came here for my bachelorette and they made all the brides feel very special - thank you!! read more

Had some of my girlies in town, so we decided to hit up Palace! I've been here a few times before but never actually sat down for the restaurant portion. That said, the food was a bit of a letdown. I ordered a Greek salad, but it was basically a tomato salad, just a few cucumber slices and the rest was all tomatoes and feta. The steak was a little off, the only item I enjoyed were the French fries. The vibes here are usually great, and it's always a fun spot. Bonus points for the rooftop, definitely one of my favorite parts! read more

Was mainly here for drinks and to see the local drag queens - both were great! The mood here is highly vibrant and I do enjoy the queens interacting with the audience in their performances. One of my friends was literally picked up on one of the small stages with a queen following him after he had generously tipped - this was an excellent surprise and certainly made it a good night! read more

LOVED the "Ladies Who Lunch"!!! I just can't say enough great things about this place. Perfect vibes! Fantastic Queens who are truly talented performers. So kind and welcoming. The libations were libating and the food was fantastic! I had the tuna tostones and mushroom gyoza. My friend had the shrimp tacos and the Caesar salad! Yummy. From the DJ's curated tunes to the lovely service, all was 5 stars. Special shout out to Miss Poison Ivy, our Puerto Rican/Cuban Barbie! She kept the party vibes light and lively while taking the time to make every guest at every table feel special!! Thanks for a wonderfully memorable afternoon. Jackie and JoJo (the old ladies with grey hair) will be telling stories about this day for the rest of our years! read more

The bottomless mimosa brunch is such an amazing deal. I don't remember the price but it includes the bottomless mimosas and the brunch. The best part of everything though is the drag show! The drag queens are beyond fabulous and such amazing entertainers. The servers themselves are also so fabulous and kind. This is a perfect spot for a bachelorette party in that the drag queens pay extra attention to the bride to be! Overall a super fun party energy! Loads of fun and can't wait to go back! read more

Energy! That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Palace Bar! Situated on the iconic Ocean Drive in South Beach, Palace Bar brings the energy and vibes through drag, drinks, brunch and more! On a recent trip to South Beach, we made a few stops to Palace Bar at random times of the day and evening. Our favorite time as midday. Normally you would think midday would be boring, but not at Palace Bar. Fans popping, drag queens slaying and drinks pouring! While food looked amazing, we only had cocktails during each visit. There seems to be a bit of a process for the drag brunch on the weekends and for general dining, so I can't speak to those. However I can share that bar seating was great, provided a great view into the patio happenings, while providing us stellar service from the bartenders directly. As with any place in South Beach, things are pricey and Palace Bar is no different. Knowing the location, I'd recommend walking or ride share as parking in this area is a bit tough. Overall, Palace Bar was a great addition to our South Beach trip and we would happily visit again! read more
