Nellie's Sports Bar

Great music, staff, and drag brunch! We came on a Saturday night and had so much fun, we just had to return the next day to check out their drag brunch…and we are so happy we did! The queens not only served face, body, and looks - they were servers at the brunch! They were SO fun and did a phenomenal job taking care of everyone, keeping the drinks coming, the food line moving, and keeping us laughing. The food was delicious! When I read about it the night before, I thought it sounded good, but you never know…I know now - YUM! There was great variety, so I think there’s something for everyone. At the show, the queens (and a prince) gave great, fun, and engaging performances. They had the crowd rolling with laughter at some parts. We had an awesome time, and will definitely come back next time we’re in DC. We highly recommend. Oh, and when we went on a tour of the US Capitol, we told one of the staff we went to Nellie’s for drag brunch, and they said they love Nellie’s and the drag shows - YASSSSSSS!

My first time here and I can truly say that it was an experience! Let me start with the service - excellent!!!! The performers - I fell in deep like I just met my future best friends!!!! Now the topping on the cake the food!!! Can I just say AMAZING!!! It was so good I wish I could have gotten a tray to bring some home!!! Parking is an issue so I got a ride there and ubered home due to limited street parking. But let me tell you I will be back for my birthday!!!!

After attending Godfrey’s Drag Brunch in Richmond, I expected a fun, lively experience—but this was a huge disappointment. Two drinks upstairs cost over $50—while downstairs drinks were far cheaper ($10–$15). The buffet didn’t start until an hour after we arrived, and our server only acknowledged us with the occasional "you good?" And then they’d walk away before we could say boo. The "show" had maybe two actual drag performances; most of the time performers just walked around. There was even a man performing as a man who did nothing but solicit tips, which was outrageous. What was supposed to be a two-hour brunch dragged on for three. Overpriced, poorly run, and underwhelming.

My second time being here and the experience was disappointing. I was on the top floor and order wings and my food was wrong the bartender was so drunk and combative. They wouldnt fixed my food so I asked for a refund . He goes and gets the owner acting a fool as if I did something wrong . Then they accuse me of stealing a bottle of Milagros. First of all I don’t drink that cheap shit . Never have never will & definitely not stealing out a gay bar and risk my life ! Got to do better .

Had a great time with family. Great music and food feel safe . London was awesome and few others I met great meeting you all the love energy conversation and DRINKs

Omg we had blast at Nellie’s. London at the door is so welcoming and the bartender Tyla with the best personality. Whenever I’m in dc I’ll be here. Thanks Xavier.

Great brunch buffet! Love the staff family and the queens. Everyone is super friendly!
