The editorial take
Godfrey's pairs its famous Drag Brunch with a cocktail menu that runs deep: a dedicated Bloody Mary bar, a full mimosa roster, and coffee cocktails. The drinks are built on recognizable spirits like Absolut, Malibu, and Kraken, with playful names and mixers. Customers mention the drinks are good, but the lack of pricing and limited community feedback keep expectations measured.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Bloody Mary bar: regular, spicy, Old Bay, Bloody Maria, Red Snapper, or Bakon. For something sweeter, the Dreamsicle (Absolut Orange, Pinnacle Whipped, OJ, club soda) or Our Pina Colada (Malibu, Kraken, pear and pineapple juices) fit the brunch vibe.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Brunch crowds and drag show fans who want a broad cocktail menu with playful, themed drinks. The extensive Bloody Mary and mimosa sections appeal to groups celebrating or looking for a lively start to the day.
- When should I go?
- During the Drag Brunch, when the cocktail menu is in full effect. The venue also has nightlife with drag shows and DJs, but the cocktail program is most documented for brunch.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail program is built around brunch: a dedicated Bloody Mary section with six variations, a mimosa menu with eight options, and coffee cocktails. The use of both flavored vodkas and spiced rums in signature drinks like Juicy Wet Lips and Our Pina Colada gives the menu a playful, indulgent character.

How it sits with the food
Pair the spicy Bloody Mary with savory brunch fare; the Bakon version suggests a bacon-forward match. Sweeter cocktails like the Dreamsicle or Pina Colada could complement fruity or dessert-like dishes.
