Eggplant with pasta was very tasty. My friends got the chicken breast with mashed potatoes. They both said it was good. The most fun I have had in ages. Performers were fun and entertaining. I highly recommend it 👌 I will go back.

Can’t say enough about this place. We drove in from Arizona for the Valentine’s Day show and three course dinner. The drinks, the food, the establishment itself… all great! But where LIPS really shines is the staff!!! It was such an incredible, fun, welcoming environment. And FUN!!! The entire experience was a total vibe from start to finish.

LIPS is my fave drag venue of all time. I take friends and family here when they visit me from out of town. LIPS is high production, fantastic drag. It is a little pricey but you are paying for a real performance that is above and beyond the average drag show. I love the atmosphere the queens provide. It is such a welcoming and fun space. Come with an open mind and enjoy the best drag show of your life! The food is also really good.
