Palace Bar & Restaurant Miami Beach

Palace Bar & Restaurant is an Ocean Drive institution built around drag, dining, cocktails, and a high-energy LGBTQ+ nightlife setting. At 1052 Ocean Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33139, Palace brings together its long-running drag brunch, nightly dinner shows, a rooftop bar, and an all-day food-and-drink menu. It is a better fit for visitors who want an actual show built into the meal than for anyone looking for a quiet generic bar.

Palace is a restaurant and nightlife destination with shows every evening. Reserve ahead if a specific drag-brunch seating or dinner-show time matters; the schedule changes by daypart, so choosing the right service is the most important planning decision.

Choose the Palace experience that fits your day

Drag brunch runs Friday through Sunday at 11 AM and 2 PM, with a Monday noon seating. Tuesday through Thursday, lunch runs from 1 PM to 4 PM. Dinner shows run every night from 7 PM to midnight, making Palace a natural Ocean Drive stop after the beach or before a longer South Beach night.

The menu goes well beyond bar snacks. Current dishes include New York strip, ribs, salmon, churrasco, fish and chips, and chicken entrees, with weekday happy hour from 3 PM to 7 PM. The rooftop bar is the move when the group wants cocktails and a view; a downstairs table makes more sense when the show and dinner are the priority.

Reservations and group planning

Reserve ahead instead of assuming a walk-in table, especially for the Friday-to-Monday brunch program and nightly shows. Palace also offers rooftop events and group dining, so it can work for birthdays, celebrations, or a larger South Beach itinerary. Call +1 (305) 531-7234 to confirm the current seating, show, and group options.

What to know before you go

Palace is lively by design. Expect drag performances, music, a social crowd, and Ocean Drive foot traffic rather than a low-key dinner room. The current general hours are 11 AM to 1 AM Monday through Thursday and 11 AM to 2 AM Friday through Sunday, while individual shows have their own posted schedule. Confirm before a major weekend, since special programming can affect the schedule.
