Description and history

The LGBT-owned [1] restaurant hosts the drag show Le Faux. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Julia's closed temporarily. [2] Some of the show's participants streamed performances online. [3] Julia's has also hosted Jinkx Monsoon [4] [5] and Irene Dubois. [6]

Eladio Preciado is an owner, director, and producer. [7]

Reception

In 2023, Aimee Rizzo of The Infatuation wrote, "To be clear, you're absolutely not going to Julia's for the food—it is not good. You're going because this is the oldest drag cabaret in Seattle. That means intense production value, intricate headpieces worn by host Shay Fox, backup dancers, and group numbers, not to mention fun drinks like the 'Electric Vibrator' and 'Cheating B*tch.' (Those are the tamer names.) There's a throwback-themed brunch show on Sunday afternoons, night shows on Fridays and Saturdays, and guest productions in between." [8]
