37th and Zen

I went for the drag brunch. The limited selection of food was a surprise but what I ordered was flavorful. I had the Karen which is a fancy avocado toast. There were a lot of good flavors but no avocado flavor. Still, it was good enough that I would order it again.Service was very good. Jonathan was our server and he was attentive and friendly.The place is really run down. I was kind of surprised. Maybe it wouldn't have been so obvious if we were there at night. Still, I was surprised at how run down it was.The performers were good - some better than others. I really thought Amore Diamonds was terrific. There were 4 performers who took turns on stage. They lip synced to music and walked around collecting tips from everyone (so bring your dollar bills!). I think there was too much talking from the MCs. They thought they were hysterical but we weren't there for the MCs. We wanted to see the ladies perform. Uneeda Biscuit's routines were all crass. All of her songs were about drugs or her genitals. I just didn't find that amusing at all. I'm glad I went and I had a good time, but I don't feel like I need to go again. Still, overall it was decent fun for a Sunday afternoon.

Zen is one of the few truly accepting clubs in Hampton Roads They offer everything from themed raves to goth nights to drag brunches and Memorial Day foam parties over the years they have listened to the community and add events we suggested and we want they staff and bartenders are attentive and happy to serve you they offer average drink prices and even specials There is a legit working cigarette machine which at 12$ a pack I am relieved I do not smoke but it is an nostalgic vending machine and I'm sure it comes in clutch for plenty They have rotating djs and are very supportive of locals trying out new stuff or debuting their disc jockey careers the dance floor is open and very accessible They also have a covered patio with pool tables and even an outdoor seating area with cod hole There is always a positive vibe in the air here and no judgmental stares

Went to Mothers Day drag brunch. So fun, so entertaining! Mimosa tower was yummy and presentation was cool. Servers were friendly. The food had a lot of tater tots (which I can't eat) so I got the avocado toast. In retrospect, I would have asked for cooked onions or no onions because the raw onions were a bit over powering. Overall, great experience

Atmosphere was nice until we sat at the bar and the bartender well let's just say she won't win any customer service awards. I asked was there a specialty cocktail and she replies in all her mustered intelligence that it's a dive bar so no. I was confused but proceeded to order a cocktail that was great. If only her ice cold -I work the bar attitude could match. Not going back

This is for the Drag Brunch:The food options were kinda limited, and none of the options looked particularly appealing to me. I ended up ordering The Hangry Bitch, and I asked if they could do my eggs scrambled with cheese instead of over hard. The server said they couldn't do that, so I just got it as is. It came out with a boiled egg, which was really odd, but I ate it. Three of my friends got the same thing, but theirs had an over hard egg (not boiled like mine was). It was weird to me though.The service was really good- they were thorough and attentive without being in our way during the show. They both seemed to enjoy themselves a little and were very friendly to me and my group.I've been here for the drag brunch before covid, and I felt like their mimosas were mostly juice, which is surprising, because my dranks are usually super strong when I go to the gay clubs. The mimosas are still the same, and we ordered a tower to share. It was mostly all juice (very orange looking) and the champagne tasted flat to me, which made me think we didn't get an entire bottle in the tower (waste of money). We did get some tequila shots, and while they did go down smooth, I was shocked when I got my bill ($14 per shot?!), but that's my own fault for not asking.The show was great, and Jazzlyn (spelling?) is always my favorite no matter where I see her- she's sweet, funny, always performs the most wild and fun music and she got my group going! We wanted to see more of Jazz! Talk about showering someone with some bills- that's me when Jazzlyn comes out to perform. It was wonderful to see all the beautiful queens perform, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Everyone needs to come for the show, if nothing else (although everyone has to buy an entree and a drink, alcoholic or non, for the show- business has gotta stay open somehow).It's a whole brunch & a show. Worth the time & money, in my humble opinion!

I went last night to check this place out and I had a great time. They had a Drag Show that started about 2100 and the host was HILARIOUS he really worked the crowd! I LOL'd a lot. They don't have beer on tap sadly but they have Raging bitch IPA which does the job ! Be careful of those lol.... The vibe was pretty chill the people were welcoming so I'm def going to come back for another show sometime soon when I'm in town!

The place was nice and the workers was nice. The drinks was good as well.we'll go back

Drinks will be good no matter the bar tender and Ion like the food no more it used to be good they're falling off for sure...

Though I've been here for clubbing in my younger days, this review is for the Lipgloss and Lashes Drag Brunch. Parking here isn't specific and the building is definitely run down looking. Not the best place for a cute, little brunch but it'll do (I guess). First off, the show was wonderful and the ladies were great! Make sure you have your ones ready and if not, they have someone coming around to make change. For my first drag show in general, I really enjoyed myself to include my friends. Tickets are $16 for the show, I believe, so make sure to look them up on Facebook and support!Back to the venue...broken down and tore up. They dressed it up by putting table cloths on the tables, but it's the little things. Wobbly tables and damaged chairs that must be covered with cloth napkins. For example, would've been nice to have real glasses since it is brunch rather than plastic cups and paper menus. Drink menu is a yes (especially the watermelon one) but the food menu is a thumbs down. Bartender available. Wasn't confident in the breakfast foods so I opted for the wings with fries. Wings were not good and a little cold by the time they came out. Asked for hot and honestly couldn't taste a thing. Fries were also a weird cut, not crispy, and very wet/wimpy. I pride myself on eating club wings, so this was a huge disappointment. Not good at all, but I was hungry so I ate. They are kind enough to give you more condiments if needed. Waitstaff was also good and made sure we were taken care of. 20% gratuity is automatically added. Arrived at 1130, show started around 1215, and it ended at 2 so about a 2 hour show. Kind of sucks when the room isn't packed, but good friends and good drinks goes a long way!

I ordered a burger medium rare through doordash and it was given to me completely raw. They said because it was through doordash that they could not remake the burger for me nor could they refund my purchase.
