Godfrey’s
This longtime Richmond staple hosts one of the city’s most popular brunches, complete with iconic drag performances, boozy breakfast cocktails, and their famous French toast. If you’re celebrating a birthday, enjoying a girls’ weekend, or just want to get a little rowdy, Godfrey’s promises a damn good time. Bring cash to tip the queens, and prepare to lose your voice while scream-singing Britney Spears hits.

Bar Solita
Bar Solita does it big, from their delicious cream cheese frosting-covered cinnamon rolls the size of your head to their shareable Mega Mule cocktail. But if for some reason, you’re not into that (though we can’t imagine why you wouldn’t be), they also have a globally inspired brunch menu full of savory dishes and classic cocktails.
Location: 123 W Broad St (Arts District)

River City Roll
Looking for a dog-friendly patio for brunch? Wanna sip a Bloody Mary while you bowl? River City Roll’s got you covered. They have an extensive brunch menu with everything from brick oven pizzas to vanilla bean waffles and even a “Hangover Burger” to enjoy while you rack up some strikes.

Hotel Greene
Sausage links while you hit the links? Umm… yes, please. Hotel Greene offers a $25 brunch and mini golf combo deal every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm. Reservations are strongly recommended, but they also accept walk-ins at their bar and lounge areas.

Moore Street Café
Who says brunch is only for the weekends? Not Moore Street Café. They serve up hearty, diner-style breakfast every day of the week, but perhaps what they’re best known for is their 32 oz mimosa pitchers with over 10 flavors to choose from. There’s most likely a wait on the weekends, but we promise it’s worth it.

This is where you go when your group chat can’t decide between getting food or hanging out. The Park has duckpin bowling, arcade games, mini golf, and a full brunch menu complete with cocktails. Problem solved.
