It’s a three day weekend, which means you have the special opportunity to hit three different brunch spots this weekend. Some places are doing special menus, some places aren’t changing anything at all, but we can promise you that no matter what, they’re all going to be delicious. Whether you’re nursing a hangover or you’re a bright and peppy morning person (or both) we have a brunch for you.
All Purpose Capitol Riverfront
Not enough pizza in your regular brunch menus? Check out All Purpose’s Capitol Riverfront location from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a Labor Day special that includes $19 bottomless Mimosas, Bellinis, and Aperol Spritzes. They’ll be introducing some new breakfast pies with toppings such as smoked salmon, ricotta, and capers as well as all their classics. You know as a child when you always wanted pizza for breakfast? This is like that, but better.
With locations at 14th street, Cathedral Heights, and in Reston, Barcelona Wine Bar promises a vast array of tapas and, of course, wines this Labor Day. If you’re tired of Mimosas and Bloody Marys stop by any of the three locations for a very classy brunch.
You thought Labor Day meant only three days of brunch? Well, you were wrong. The Bird, which sits at the corner of 11th and O, is turning the three day weekend into a four-day brunch extravaganza. This Bird Brunch Bash will include $15 bottomless Bloody Marys and Mimosas, crumbly buttermilk biscuits, gluten-free breakfast tacos, and much more. Plus, you can follow up Friday’s brunch with their extended happy hour from 9 p.m. to close.
Looking for a hearty, classic brunch this Labor Day? Boundary Stone is the place for you. Mouthwatering menu items include all your faves from maple syrup bacon grits to huevos rancheros to short rib hash. Brunch and Boundary Stone will definitely fill you up and keep you eating until you really can’t take another bite.
This old standby serves breakfast every Monday through Friday until 11 a.m., so if you’re looking for something a little on the simple side and you’re an early rise, you just might be in luck. Grab one of their big old coffees, sit down and relax. It’s a great spot for lounging. -K.D.
$25 lobster meals. Need we say more? For City Tap Dupont’s Labor Day special they’re offering up whole lobsters served with potatoes and corn for just $25 each. There will also be plenty of beer to wash that all down with, including $5 drafts and $13 buckets.
City Tap Penn Quarter’s Labor Day Crabfest
Who says you can’t bring the beach to the city? On Labor Day, City Tap will be turning their patio into a beach (complete with sand, inflatable palm trees, frozen drinks, and more) and cooking up tons of Maryland blue crabs. For $50 per person, guests can enjoy unlimited crab, corn-on-the-cob, and potato salad. Limited brunch menu options–check out the jumbo mac & cheese crab cakes and the corn & crab hushpuppies–and brunch drinks–spiked Capri Sun and a bottomless shandy bar–will also be available during the crab cookout.

Does the idea of heading back to work on Tuesday have you bummed? Drink away the pain with $15 bottomless bloody marys, sangria, and mimosas at Commissary. Brunch starts at 8:00 a.m., meaning that early risers can grab some delicious brunch foods too and skip the bagel from Starbucks. Try a huge stack of their heavenly buttermilk blueberry pancakes, or check out their breakfast tacos with chorizo, feta, pico de gallo, and lots of home fries. Get ready for a food coma and some drunk brunching at Commissary this Labor Day. -A.D.
From 11 a.m. to the very specific time of 3:15 p.m., DC Harvest will be seating people for their Labor Day brunch.

DC Harvest will also offer all their healthy brunch classics like house cured & cherry wood smoked bacon and blueberry meyer lemon baked brioche french toast. Sounds like a damn good way to end the summer. -K.D.

We don’t have to explain Ted’s deal to you, because you’ve probably had a hungover brunch there or took your parents when they came into the city to visit. It’s a classic spot that serves breakfast all day everyday and has very good homemade pop tarts. I don’t care what anyone says to you, I promise they’re delicious. Go get breakfast and take a few to go. You can thank me later. -K.D.
