We're very excited to announce 🎉 Diva Drag Brunch! Angel’s Pride Celebration is not a brunch. It’s a full-on spectacle with a side of mimosas. On Sunday, June 14th at noon, Scratch Public House flips the switch from casual dining to high-energy celebration. Hosted by the electrifying Angel LeBare, this Diva Drag Brunch brings together bold performances, big personalities, and a room built for letting loose. Expect sharp wit, powerhouse performances, and the kind of crowd that shows up ready to be part of the show, not just watch it. Fox E. Kim and Brittney Taylor round out a lineup that delivers glamour, humor, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. Between sets, Astro Coleman keeps the energy moving with a soundtrack that matches the pace of the room. Admission includes the full show and a meet-and-greet with the performers, so the experience doesn’t end when the music fades. Seating is limited, which keeps it tight, loud, and exactly how it should be. Brunch runs alongside the show with brunch menu available, plus mimosas, bellinis, and drink specials that lean into the moment. This is Pride turned all the way up.. Join us next week on Sunday June 14th

🇺🇸🔥 MEMORIAL DAY MONDAY at SCRATCH PUBLIC HOUSE 🔥🇺🇸

We’re firing up the smokers, opening the beer garden, pouring cold drinks, blasting live music, and throwing our biggest backyard-style bash of the year. 🍻☀️🎶

🏡 GRAND OPENING OF THE SCRATCH BEER GARDEN
🎸 Live Music
🔥 Smoke, fire, grill marks, and probably questionable decisions involving extra hot sauce.

FEATURED BBQ SPECIALS:

🔥 Fire-Roasted Wings tossed in Honey Habanero Sauce — $19
⚠️ Seriously spicy. Like “you signed the waiver in your head” spicy.

🍗 Apple-Smoked Jumbo Turkey Legs — $20
Slow smoked, braised, grilled, over a pound each, served with Grandma’s American potato salad, coleslaw, chips, and Texas-style dipping sauce.

🌭 Footlong Maxwell Street Polish — $18
Roasted onions, yellow mustard, served the Chicago way with potato salad and chips. Big enough to share. Probably won’t be.

🌽 Roasted Elote — $5
Sweet corn, mayo, cotija, tajin, cilantro, jalapeño, lime.

🍉 Tajin Lime Watermelon — $5
Cold, fresh, messy, perfect.

🥔 Grandma’s American Potato Salad — $5

Bring your friends. Bring your appetite. Bring someone who can handle the wing sauce better than you can. 🇺🇸🔥
