I have been to my fair share of drag brunches.
I’ll be the first to tell you I am a sucker for day drinks, drag queens and cocktails. So when drag brunches became more mainstream and moved beyond LGBTQ+ venues, I knew they would become a weekend ritual for me and my friend group. Albeit, I usually peer pressure them into it.
A quick Google search and you are met with an abundance of drag brunches in the Merseyside area including offerings by Camp and Furnace and Tonight Josephine. Despite this, Liverpool’s newest drag brunch, held at Mediterranean restaurant and bar Pier Eight, stood out to me for a number of reasons.
