    I attended the gospel brunch and I must say, I had an absolutely amazing time! This was probably the most fun brunch I’ve ever been to. Not only was the food good, but the entertainment was awesome! And to top it all, you can’t beat the price! $35 for bottomless mimosas and an entrée. We ordered shrimp and grits, steak and eggs, and chicken and waffles. Everything was very very good! I cannot wait to return!

    Came here to celebrate a birthday, Lips didn’t disappoint at all. Great drinks, delicious food, service was amazing! Best part was honestly the show. Very fun place to come and celebrate with your main girls. All the performers were fantastic and beautiful! Can’t wait to come back.

    AMAZING experience! Extremely fun place to celebrate a speacial occasion or just to have a yummy dinner and see a super fun show. Those Queens are gorgeous and put on a phenomenal show and provide wonderful service. The vibe is exciting and excellent from the moment you step in the door. Food was delicious. I haven't had that much fun in years! Highly reccomend going here!!

    Came here for my mother in law's 60th birthday. Was immediately greeted by a very rude front desk man. I let it go but he was very unprofessional. The show itself was fun but a wasn't much talent because they did some dancing & lip singing but then walked around collecting money. The mac & cheese was to die for and the shots were good. But the bill was outrageous, there was 5 of us and we expected to pay around $250-$300 since it was $39 each person but ended up paying almost $500. I don't think we'll be coming back.

    I went to the Gospel Brunch show and it was fabulous! We had unlimited mimosas & champagne. We also ordered Vegas bombs shots to keep the lips shot glass as a souvenir. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and it was delicious! All of the performers were wonderful and entertaining. The vibe and atmosphere was very fun!

    Wow! What a place. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. And, what a show! We saw some very talented people perform. I would definitely recommend a visit. Everyone is very nice and accommodating. This a dinner and and show so be ready for that. The dinner was about $50 per person. They will charge you for the dinner and show when you arrive. They were very high energy on the night we were there. We really enjoyed the show but there was an expectation to tip every performer, so be sure to bring lots of dollar bills.

    What a production! These girls do it all, serve, perform, and have you laughing the whole time. If you have never been to a drag show let these lovely ladies take care of you. My wife and I got to celebrate our 1 month anniversary here, 1 month is silly to most but they treated us like royalty. The way we see it is 1 week, 1 month, 1 year and beyond. They took pictures with us and made us feel great. We also had the special honor of seeing a group of friends do a celebration of life, just powerful and these girls were a class act. Their kindness and laughter is something to behold. Please go and learn just how great these people are! Oh yeah food is great (Eggs Benedict 😋), bottomless mimosas, and the price is very reasonable!

    We had such a wonderful time at Lips Chicago!! These beauties pour everything they have into all they do. We enjoyed the heckling we got 😂😂 and would definitely go back. The food and drinks (love my leg souvenir) we’re excellent as well. Very loving people. My favorite had to be our server - the servers are also the performers. She danced like Tina Turner and left it all on the floor. Very commanding performance! All the girls were absolutely perfection -♥️ The MC was also OUTSTANDING!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

    first off will say the place itself is absolutely beautiful! the food we had was also fantastic, way better than we had expected to be quite honest. the drinks on the other hand were made quite strong, and neither of us finished them as they tasted quite bad. the queens were great but i will say i don’t think they have enough space. compared to other shows the queens here do a lot of walking around. also note, tip is added to your bill so check that before paying or adding extra.

    Omg this place is a great spot to choose to celebrate a birthday, bachelorette party or just to have brunch with friends on a Saturday afternoon. I truly enjoyed the decor, the great customer service, and the magnificent performances from the dynamic Diva’s. Please bring cash, singles will be provided if needed to tip the Diva’s for there dynamic performance. While enjoying bottomless mimosas, bloody Mary’s or just champagne. Gratuity is included on your bill. You can ask for it to be removed, but the performance is so phenomenal that they deserve that tip and much more. Thanks to Princess our excellent server. You rock sunshine. Yours truly Sunshine from Let’s Do It Tours

    Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! First time stumbled in around 9/10pm on a Wednesday in September 2020, mid-COVID-19 Pandemic, and it was quite busy. This review is from this past Sunday for a friend's Bachelorette Party and the show's theme was Gospel Brunch. Entertainment and Performers were excellent and overall a fun time! Probably the second best, if not close, drag show I have ever been to in Chicago, after Baton Lounge. Decor is drag chic and absolutely fabulous (Check out the Photos here and Video under my Profile Photos or this Google Page Videos)! Food was ok. Pictured here: Had the Steak (Medium) and Eggs (Scrambled). Fun Cocktail Names offered but our party mostly opted for the Bottomless Mimosas at $35/39. Mimosas are served in a pitcher but we ordered extra bottles of champagne. Wouldn't mind coming again for the entertainment or cocktails.

    I love Lips 💋 The entertainment is faaaa-bu-lous!!! You'll fall in love with the MC. Me and my guests were the only ones dressed for the occasion. Do yourself a favor and dress up for the occasion... You'll thank me later 😉💃🏾

    This is my fourth time going to Lips & or gets better & better. Although, some performances I've seen. The newer performances balances things. Food is tasty! Drinks are a bit pricey but good.

    I will be returning here again. I had a ball. It’s $35 a person with food included. Plus , free unlimited Mamosa or a Bloody Mary. You get to eat and chit chat and then they perform like 30 -40 mins after food has been giving out. Very pretty place. So vibrant and colorful. The girls are very polite and fun. You and you girl (s) will have a blast. Good fun for your bday for a group of friends. It was so many men in there with their ladies , so super cool on a date night. Only thing i would say is a negative is , i really didn’t care for them collecting money while they are performing. Takes away from the performance. They should have someone else collecting for them so they can continue to sing without scooting pass everyone collecting singles.

    Fun time! Went for Saturday brunch and the music, food, and atmosphere was cheerful, upbeat, and well-seasoned! The dance music and club bangers never stopped! The cast was well-dressed and Victoria, my server, was attentive and accommodated my menu modifications. I had chicken tenders with my waffles instead of bone-in chicken. Delicious! I’d come back in a heartbeat with friends to have a great meal and celebrate with this crew!

    Every girl here was amazing. Being the one of the only guys they had a fun bingo night. I dropped it low for a prize which was funny and great. I would definitely recommend food since it's actually really good. The drag show was amazing. Definitely would and will come back with my fiance again!

    Had an amazing time at @lipschicago last weekend! I've always wanted to see an in-person drag show as I've always been a fan of RuPaul's Drag Race. 😁 We had: a 3-course meal with adequate portion sizes (just wished there were more choices to choose from that time but nonetheless they were good), strong drinks, fast service, shots and acknowledgements for celebrants, loads of freebies, fabulous servers (our gorgeous server Kylee, who was also a performer, was polite, always checked on us, and made sure we were having a great time), fantastic performances from all queens. Don't forget to bring in some cash with you to tip the queens during their performances. The ATM they had in the bldg when we were there was out-of-service. It was our first time going there and we had an amazing time! 10/10 would recommend! #pride #pridemonth #dragshow #pridecelebration🏳️‍🌈

    BEST PLACE EVER The show was amazing , the staff was beyond friendly and nice , the food was SO GOOD I even order an entree to go also super fast. The Drinks were fantastic. The queens were GORGEOUS. Super passionate and very open to answer any questions you have. Also accommodated to my nut allergy when ordering food. Will be back next week for Bingo and I can’t wait. If anyone asks me for a show location I’m 100% recommending Lips. Ask for Priscilla Rock! She/they is the best and will take care of your questions and needs. She/they really made me and my friend feel like we were apart of a family Don’t miss out on this place and don’t forget to bring cash for tip! ( they do have an atm just in case) AND THE DECOR IS SO NICE JESUS
