Went for an evening drag show. The show was amazing! We just had cocktails and there were good selection of options. The cocktails were a bit pricey ($20/drink) however they also had cans and non-alcoholic beverages as well.

Being at this bar made me feel like I'd entered a private party of friends who were super welcoming (and a little chaotic). We came on a quiet evening where there was no show, so they started up some impromptu karaoke and put some great tunes on so we could dance in our seats. The server chatted with us and started some banter through the room, so we felt like we were best pals with everyone by the time we left. Cocktails were yummy, and $5 shots after 9pm is great.

My partner and I were here for Drag Brunch. We had the chicken and waffles with the mimosas. The food and coffee were not great but the service and atmosphere was amazing. We loved the drag performer (Ella). She was hilarious and entertaining. She connected with all of the audience members and made for a wonderful first time experience in Kelowna. Can’t wait to see her on Canada’s Drag Race ️

Awesome first time experience for their drag brunch. We finally got the chance to see a performance while visiting from Vancouver (our family's first drag show). Loved the performer's humor and lip syncs. The drinks and food were great. We can't wait to come back for one of the evening shows one day!

Went to drag brunch hosted by the awesomely talented and funny Dangerous D! What a fabulous time! Amazing food, delicious mimosas prepared and served by super welcoming, friendly, efficient staff and their creative, talented chef! Wow! All in all, a perfect experience that left us laughing, well fed and watered! Can't wait to go again! Highly recommend checking out the venue as well as catch a Dangerous D performance! You will not be disappointed!

I've visited Friends of Dorothy's in Kelowna several times, and each time has been exceptional. Josh, the bartender, truly makes the place special. He has a remarkable way of making everyone feel welcome and safe the moment they walk through the door. His warm smile and friendly conversation create an inclusive atmosphere where you can relax and be yourself. Josh takes the time to connect with each guest, ensuring that everyone feels part of the community he's helped foster. Plus, the chef serves up delicious food that perfectly complements the great drinks. If you're looking for a spot with amazing hospitality and mouthwatering dishes, Friends of Dorothy's is definitely worth a visit.

Dorothy's venue is small and the show wasn't exactly sold out, but the staff were really friendly and the food was quite good. The performer, Sparkle, showed up late and was visibly unprepared and improvised her show - which she also said was the case a few minutes in. She did her best to engage the patrons, but being unscripted made the whole performance feel really awkward and her vibe was kinda messy. Her makeup was flawless but she took a genuine fall at one point and overall it was giving bad improv rather than fabulous. Overall not the experience we'd hoped, but for a different performer we would definitely go back!

What an unbelievable experience!! Food was amazing, brunch deal is something I'd go back for over and over. Such an inclusive and fun atmosphere and so fun. This was my first drag brunch and I still don't know why I waited this long to go.
