We had a wonderful time for my wife’s birthday! All the Queens were fantastic, and we had such an amazing time. The syringe shots are worth it if for no other reason than it’s a fun experience for everyone at the table. All the staff were awesome and helpful, and I could not stop drinking the prickly pear mimosa. The show itself was fan-freakin-tastic with not a break or pause. The Queens turned up and turned out, and we left so happy and energized. Even our family members who had never seen drag before could not stop complimenting the performers after. A wonderful experience overall!

Living in NYC, I have high expectations when it comes to drag brunch. However, booking the drag brunch at The River DID not disappoint.
We came here for my birthday and sought out to have the best drag brunch experience in Chicago and The River was recommended. Unlimited food, drinks and drag for a great price, what could you not love.
The food was decent and plentiful (if you wanted more, you could order more), but let’s be honest, you are not going there for the food. You are going to see the best performers and enjoy the unlimited drinks and pure vibes.
Unlimited drinks were well liquor, but to upgrade to your premium liquor was not that expensive and what our table preferred.
The performers were AMAZING! Energy was high and no matter where you sat, you had a great view of the performance. I also enjoyed the different styles of drag that were presented, so something for everyone.
Bring your dollars, have a great time and remember to tip your performers and staff. Will definitely return when I visit Chicago again.

Great drag brunch experience!! A lot more PG than the one at the Kit Kat lounge but equally as fun!! The food isn’t the best but there’s a lot of it (sitting at the bar we got really great service for a party of 2) and the drinks keep coming! It gets pricey with tax and tip so overall like $90 each but worth it for a show and a meal! Overall, such a great experience and the performers are amazing!

I attended a ticketed football watch party organized by the events manager Abbie. She was very helpful during the planning process and ensured an amazing time for myself and all my friends during the event. The food was amazing as well as the service from all staff. The staff was attentive and timely for our needs. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a space to rent out for a game. My friends and I loved it!

Food was blah, but you don’t go to the Drag Brunch for food to be honest. My favorite part was the server always having our mimosa pitchers filled up!
The show was amazing! They were so talented and acrobatic as well as beautiful! I definitely want to go there again.
Definitely grab your cash you will need it. I think I had about $30 dollars in cash that I had them give me singles for.
I was there for a bday celebration and they acknowledged them by giving them a shot and having them say their age and talking to them. Like ALL OF THEM!
I had an amazing time. I LOVED that they closed out the show by introducing everyone and having them go around for one last round. I am such a fan of all of it. The entire brunch itself is a show! I loved it.

My daughter and I attended our first Drag Brunch and OMG everything was amazing, and our host Phil (We love you Phil) chefs kiss. We had more than enough food and bottomless mimosas never stopped Everyone was friendly and very welcoming, the establishment was super clean, down to the restrooms. Great way to bring in 2026… 1000/10 ❤️
