LGBTQ+ Miami Beach: Steal This 2-Day Itinerary

12 PM. Miami Beach Icon: Brunch at the Palace

📍 Ocean Dr, Miami Beach, FL

Our first stop was the famous Palace Bar & Restaurant, a Miami Beach icon for over three decades. This LGBTQ+ institution isn't just a bar, it's a full-fledged restaurant with amazing food and, of course, fabulous drag shows (not to refer the rooftop pool with an ocean view!).  

We were lucky enough to experience a Monday kingly brunch, where we were entertained by talented drag queens while enjoying a delicious meal.  

Did you know? The Palace Bar & Restaurant wasn't always surrounded by the vibrant nightlife of Ocean Drive! When it first opened in , it was actually the only restaurant on the entire strip! Today, they still pay homage to their culinary roots by offering top-notch dishes alongside the drag performances.
