Be kind to one another! Not only during pride month, but all year round. We’re saddened to see that a post celebrating family-friendly and inclusive programming for our community had to be removed due to safety concerns for those who participated.

Let us be very clear: we are an LGBTQIA+ owned and operated establishment. We believe in equal rights for all and creating safe and inclusive environments for people of all ages.

If you’d like to learn more about our mission or other inclusive businesses across the state, we invite you to listen to this panel that we participated in on NPR last year: https://will.illinois.edu/21stshow/story/significance-of-lgbtq-spaces-in-a-challenging-political-climate

🚲 Pedal, refuel, repeat. 🥯

Join us for Bagels & Bicycles on Sunday, 6/14! We’ll roll out from Meadowbrook Park at 9:00 AM for a casual, family-friendly ride to Good Judys, where we’ll take a well-earned bagel + coffee refuel stop.

Kids, families, casual riders, bike enthusiasts, and “I haven’t ridden in a while but this sounds cute” friends are all welcome. After the stop, anyone who wants to keep the wheels turning can join us for an optional extended community ride.

No registration needed — just show up, ride along, and make a morning of it with us.

A quick Drag Brunch update: Dakota has been fired from setting ticket prices.

He got a little too excited about the plated brunch, reserved seating, coffee, cocktails/mocktails, and full cast of fabulous performers… so we’ve officially revoked his pricing privileges.
That means Drag Brunch Judy Passes are now $30!

Your ticket includes reserved seating for the show, a plated brunch meal, one coffee or espresso beverage, and one alcoholic beverage or mocktail. We’re also excited to share a first look at the brunch menu, featuring fresh, plated brunch options with a little Good Judys flair.

We want this room full of Judys, chosen family, brunch energy, and community joy — so grab your ticket, bring your people, and come brunch with us on June 20.
