    This place is awesome and one of my go-to spots downtown. It's always crowded, which says a lot…read more There's a front area with the main bar and tables where you can hang out, then a back area with a DJ and tables you can reserve for the night. The music is always great. Shoutout to Jason behind the bar. He's consistently friendly and makes the night even better. Honestly, the whole staff does a great job. If you're going with a group, I'd recommend getting a table since it can get really busy. On weekends they have a cover, and it's cash only. There's an ATM inside. Also, pay attention to the dress code. No baseball hats, and they do enforce it. Overall, it's a solid spot for a night out.

    Overall a nice nightclub and bar to hang out in downtown San Diego. It's right across the street…read morefrom the ACE parking lot called "Park It On Market" so easy parking. Parking is $10 after 6pm until 3am. The ambiance is modern and sexy. The front part of the venue is a bar with several tables and love seats spread throughout. There's also a small outdoor area with a few tables and bar stools if you need some fresh air. Behind the bar is the actual night club area with the DJ booth, several VIP tables, and a smaller bar. There isn't a dedicated dance floor so people are just dancing wherever there's space. You can get on the guest list through their website for free bar/club entry before 10pm. After 10pm, there is a cover fee of $20 per person. It was quiet around 930pm when we arrived but it got pretty busy by 1030pm and crowded by 1130pm. Note: the back night club area opens at 11pm. If you come before then, only the front bar area is open. They apparently serve food as well but we didn't try it this time. I felt service was great from the bartenders to security to the servers. The DJ was playing awesome hip hop music which was perfect for the vibe. They even have a professional photographer who takes your photo. If you like it, it's $20 for your picture in a frame. Two things that can make it even better: - wish there was a bigger dance floor for those without tables to enjoy the music and dance - wish there was more than 2 bathroom stalls in the women's restroom. With hundreds of people inside, the line can get pretty long.

    We chose this club for a bachelorette celebration and reserved bottle service expecting a fun,…read morestress-free VIP experience. Unfortunately, the night ended up being more frustrating than enjoyable. Despite having a table reservation, we still had to wait outside for over 20 minutes before being allowed in. If you're paying for bottle service and VIP accommodations, you shouldn't be standing in line wondering when you'll be seated. Because of the wait, the manager told us before we entered that he would provide a complimentary bottle of champagne. However, once we got to our table, the bottle server initially told us that wasn't possible and that they don't do that. After several trips back and forth between the server and the manager, the bottle was eventually honored. While we appreciated receiving it, it shouldn't have taken that much confusion to honor a promise made by management. After finally being seated, we waited more than 30 minutes before receiving any drinks. For a bottle service table, that's a long wait, especially when you're celebrating a special occasion. There were also issues with our order. We requested High Noons, which were listed on the menu, but were given something else instead. If an item isn't available, customers should be informed beforehand rather than finding out after the fact. The most stressful part of the night was when the staff took my friend's ID and forgot to return it. Since my friend was visiting from out of town and needed it to fly home, this created unnecessary stress at the end of the night. To their credit, someone from the club did bring the ID to where we were staying, which we appreciated. However, the situation felt like an inconvenience to some staff members rather than an urgent issue involving a guest's identification. I do want to give credit where it's due. One staff member who helped us was genuinely kind and helpful, and they even put a picture of our bachelorette group on the screen, which was a thoughtful touch and one of the highlights of the night. Unfortunately, those positive moments weren't enough to make up for the delays, poor communication, and overall lack of organization. For the amount of money spent on bottle service, we expected a much smoother experience. I wouldn't return based on this experience, and I hope management takes steps to improve communication and customer service for future guests.

    We had a blast here for a galentine's or early birthday celebration with my BBFF. The positive: we…read moremade reservations ahead & did not stand in line to long to get in. Promptly seated & orders taken soon after this by Indica who also was performing & did an absolutely stellar job!! Bottomless mimosas or Bloody Mary's are served with brunch & they are refilled frequently. Jordan never let a drink get a glass go empty. Our host for this show Paris continuously kept the crowd entertained with lots of laughter! I have gone to many drag show experiences, but this was probably in the top 5 for me & I would gladly attend another one on a visit back to Sd. A few negatives are although every seat is good- the table we were at sometimes caused the show lights to hit me directly in the eye so I had to divert my attention to performances. Our meal (we both ordered carne asada breakfast) was not really seasoned. I just would try something else next time I go. Overall I had a lot of fun at Lips & it's something I would highly recommend if you're in the area! Thank you for keeping the drag experience available semi locally for me!

    Great experience! We took our cousin here bc she has never been to a drag show and she loved it!…read more the performers are top notch and there was never a lull in the show and audience energy. They're sassy and fun The place is visually stunning, and aesthetic - everything to keep your eyes stimulated. It's perfect for bachelorettes, birthday parties, and whatever celebration you heart desires. Theres all you can drink brunch that if you're looking for something fun to do, this is your place!
