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.
It’s what you expect when you go to a popular LGBTQ+ bar. Loads of people and hard to move around. The security at the front were straight to the point. There is no entry fee so that’s cool. Drinks are a tad bit on the expensive side but they weren’t too watered down. The music definitely had us dancing non stop.
I do think there needs to be a few more fans upstairs, I can see a few people including myself on the verge of a heatstroke.
Overall it was a fun experience if you like a crowd.
Today!!! I attended with my cousin to the Drag Brunch at 1. We had a blast!!! With the bartender upstairs to the transition downstairs for the food and Mistress of Ceremonies to the performers. It was absolutely wonderful. I WILL be back. Such a wonderful experience.
Nellies is always a good time but they r always forcefully putting some of the girls out. The happy hour drinks r strong and the music is good. We got the wings and fries which of the three flavors(Buffalo bbq n plain) we got it was tasty. There was a long line inside to get to the upstairs patio. We decided to just stay downstairs since it wasn’t a birthday or a special occasion.
They have something every nite sunday is drag brunch which is great entertainment(bingo game and performances) and good food.
I walked in trying to sneakily use the bathroom but someone was there pestering me about getting a drink. I don’t drink but I also don’t know drinks. I spoke to her about all the different types of drinks. She was polite, strong, but also very helpful. I learned that cognac is okay. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would come again if I didn’t need to pee.
Fun, good music and good food. Went to the drag brunch and we had a ball. Will go back again. The food was really good too.
I order a lemon drop shot and they gave me cheap rum and coke drink :,( i said what is this and he said lemon drop shot.I’m so confused and it was so expensive :(
I was visiting DC and saw good reviews so decided to give this LGBTQ friendly place a try. If I could leave ZERO stars I would. I went in around 7pm looking for a bite to eat and have a few drinks. Bartender told me I could sit anywhere. So I sat next to bar. Bartender didn’t ask me what I wanted to drink nor gave me a menu or told me how to access menu if it was electronic. Most awkward and wired and uncomfortable 10 minutes of my life! Can u imagine sitting in an empty sports bar and the bartender literally avoiding to serve you?!? I hate to say race was a possible factor but that’s only thing I can think of. I DO NOT recommend!!! Dirty Goose across the street much better for drink and they can recommend better places for food!!!! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!!! They don’t deserve your money!!!!
