About this place Godfrey's

Godfrey's is a Richmond institution on East Grace Street downtown, best known for its long-running drag brunch — one of the longest-running in the city and a weekend rite of passage for locals and visitors alike. By night it becomes a gay dance club with drag performances, DJs and themed parties. The brunch shows are high-energy and often sell out, so reservations are recommended. Warm, campy and unpretentious, Godfrey's has anchored Richmond's LGBTQ+ nightlife for over two decades.

Godfrey's was amazing. My Sister Circle celebrated five birthdays at Godfrey's. The emcee was well spoken, friendlly, and beautiful. The service was excellent. Our server was on point with everything. The entertainment, OMG, phenomenal. It was refreshing, different, and just enjoyable. The only drawback was we had to wait out in the hot sun until 2:15 after being told to be on time. It was blistery hot. Please work on that area of the experience for a completely delightful journey once you enter the doors of Godfrey's. Thank you@

We had a Blast!! Tip the performers as they are Awesome & Deserve $$ Acknowledgement for their hard work. ...but beware that a single entrée & 'beverage' is around $60. I will be returning!!♡♡

We loved every little thing about our brunch here! The staff was lovely (Hot Toddy is the BEST!), the entertainment top notch and the food was fantastic!! We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way to brunch! (Side Note: if you’re sensitive to sound, you may want to bring some earplugs. I had noise canceling earplugs in and still was able to hear the entertainment clearly.)
