The River Kitchen and Bar

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!

BIRTHDAY BRUNCH WITH MY BADDIESSSSSS! We had so much fun for a birthday! The unlimited food, mimosas, even the snacks! The theme was Beyoncé so when I tell you a time was had - a time was had!

We had a blast at drag brunch. Good food, great service & atmosphere. Will most definitely be back!

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!
