Palace Bar

Palace has been the drag bar of Ocean Drive since 1988. It moved from 1200 Ocean Drive to its current spot at 1052 Ocean Drive in 2017, across from Lummus Park and the beach. The queens perform out front, working the sidewalk tables and the pedestrianised street as much as the room. The drag brunch is the main draw: Monday at noon, plus Friday to Sunday seatings at 11am and 2pm, around $60 with bottomless mimosas, and it sells out at weekends. Dinner shows run nightly from about 7pm. Crowds are mixed, with gay locals, tourists and plenty of straight birthday groups. It celebrated its 38th anniversary in February 2026.
