What is a bottomless brunch?

Simply put, a bottomless brunch is a late morning or early afternoon brunch where for a set price, you can enjoy a number of courses as well as unlimited alcohol. You will usually have about two hours to feast upon your brunch food and indulge in any number of cocktails, beer, or wine.

Attentive staff will make sure your glass is never empty so you don’t have to worry about going to the bar to order each time you want a new drink. Spend your time with your friends or partner, enjoying yourself, instead of waiting in line.

You can usually find bottomless brunches with a simple web search, but you should also ask at your favourite local bar to check if they host bottomless brunch events. More and more venues are beginning to start offering it as the trend grows, so it shouldn’t be hard to find one near you.

What are the unspoken ‘rules’ of going to a bottomless brunch?

So, you’re all set for your bottomless brunch but you’ve never been before and you’re not quite sure what those pesky unspoken rules are. Look no further.

First of all, you don’t want to plan anything for afterwards. No matter what you think your tolerance is or how much faith you have in yourself, don’t give yourself any extra stress after you’ve just spent several hours unwinding with a delicious brunch.

Next, you want to arrive early. Bottomless brunch hosts are strict on the rules when it comes to timings and you don’t want to miss your booking. Get there 5-10 minutes before just in case and usually, they’ll have somewhere you can wait comfortably inside.

Finally, stay hydrated! There’s nothing worse than feeling terrible after a wonderful day out. Keep your water glass topped up just as much as your cocktail glass so you can make the most of your bottomless brunch.
