Bring your own fun! Although, few people seem to take advantage of the BYOB option at Nookies (maybe it is in bad taste at breakfast) bringing your own champagne to breakfast is so much more fun. Although you may scare a few customers when you pop the bottles, Nookies feels like a celebration every time you go.

Of course, having to collect the number of empty bottles on your table makes you somewhat restrict yourself and you’ll only get a few judging eyes, being able to control your ratio of oj to champagne is a definite perk. This place is always very crowded though and you can expect to have to wait for a table.

The food is also fantastic, so it definately worth the trip out of the house and to the liquor store to brunch here.

Nookies Too and Nookies Tree are also just as good and just as BYOB as the original.

Okay you don’t go to Duffy’s for brunch, you go there to continue where you left off last night. Duffy’s throws you right back into the dark, crappy bar you regretted being at the night before, only this time you’re drinking mimosas.

The music is too loud, the people are too young and the buffet is too dangerous. When the chocolate fountain is getting chocolate all over the crab legs, there’s just a real problem.

But I had to give this place one mimosa and a shout out becauseas filthy as this brunch makes you feel, I can’t say I haven’t had fun here. There’s dancing, everyone looks awful and the DJ (yes b-fast DJ) shouts out shot specials. The spectacle of this place is worth checking out but try not to go in there too hungover or too irritable and be prepared to be worse off when you leave. There’s no better way to scramble your eggs than dancing and shots at 10 in the morning!
