    For never having been to a drag show in my 53 years, I feel like I've been missing out after attending Rise's Drag Brunch! It was a phenomenal show! We were celebrating my sister's bday and the two queens made sure to involve her as much as she'd allow. They really interacted with the whole audience. The venue was perfect, on the small side so it seemed more of an intimate experience. The food was delicious! The whole experience was great! I'd definitely recommend it for a really fun, different thing to do!

    I thought the performers were just okay. Ashley Britney was headlining the themed drag brunch but she only performed like (2) remixed songs. The other two actual drag queen performances were nothing short of mediocre. Yes, they provided comic relief, but I would’ve paid a lot more just to see Ashley perform an actual setlist as opposed to other drag queens motioning hand choreography and “sensual” hip glute thrusts. Overall, C+.

    I was hesitant to go get food at a bar like rise, but I can honestly say it didn’t disappoint. None of the food was delayed, it was all REALLY tasty and the drinks were flowing. Rise Bar staff was on their game. Like, every brunch server should take lessons. I would love to do another brunch here.

    When i asked for non alcoholic beverages, both the bartender and my server gave very judgmental/annoyed looks at me and had an attitude. even my friend noticed and was taken aback. we both enjoyed the show but the service from the employees left us upset. my friend said he would not feel comfortable coming back and i agree.

    If you’re looking for non stop drag show and drinking, this is your spot to go. Be ready to go on stage if it’s your bday!! The food was actually better than I excepted.
