My best friend chose LIPS for his birthday dinner. Though we've both lived in the area for years, we hadn't previously been to LIPS and he thought it would be fun for his birthday. There was a set price of $49.95 for the show, with a three-course dinner, on a Friday night. Other nights had different prices, presumably based on demand. You get to choose between a variety of entrees, with a predetermined appetizer and dessert. I chose the chicken piccata, which was very delicious. My friend chose lasagna. Cocktails average around $15 each, so if you plan on having a few drinks, the cost of the evening will add up fast. The drag performers were very energetic and fun. Bring lots of singles (or they provide change at the venue), to tip the performers throughout the show. Overall, it was a really fun evening and we'd definitely go again. I'd recommend it for a fun night out with friends. We're not big drinkers, so we only had one cocktail each. Just be aware that if you like to have a few, the evening could be a little more expensive.

This was my first time to Lips, the Gospel Brunch was amazing. The opening songs before the show started had definitely set the vibe to a 10 only to be increased by the performances. Each performer was great with crowd participation.

The Ladies were amazing. The service and show were great. The food and drinks were not good at all so that's why the stars weren't higher. Too bad all the money doesn't go to staff because the food and drinks surely wasn't worth it
