So I Went for Sisters Birthday and she had a time last night baby and OMG this show is balls to the walls fantastic, I mean the gowns to the music. I had the time of my life. The drinks be careful because hunny I was feeling good after my FIRST DRINK. The food was banging, like I was picking off everybody plate. An experience you don't want to miss, especially in Chicago. read more

We went to LIPS to celebrate my grandmas 74th birthday and had the time of our life. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate a milestone birthday, bachelorette parties, or just a fun girls night out! read more

Had brunch there today. First impression was great service was great and so were the drinks. But the Food was awful!!!!! When the show started after an hour and a half it was so loud my ears r still ringing. The worst drag show ever. We. Left after half hour and went across the street to the jerk chicken place. Excellent food and quiet music. Don't waste your money on lips but go to the jerk villa! Thanks read more

Amazing new addition to The South Loop! The decor is out of this world, drinks on point, food delicious, and The Queens are so talented! A great night out! read more

Delicious food and even better entertainment. This is the place to go for a fun night out!

Not only was the show spectacular, but the food was also delicious too! Bravo to the entertainers and staff for providing some much-needed relief and laughter in the midst of all the chaos this pandemic has caused. My team decided to surprise me with this impromptu night out. Everyone should get out and support these girls and our community! I will be sure to tell all my clients moving to Chicago about this place! And Aria B. Cassadine.... damn! Beautiful voice.... thank you! #mybestlifechicago read more

Went for a birthday celebration. Had the dinner show combo. No appetizer, no desert we're brought to the table. 61.51 per person. That's a far cry from the 39.95 amount they have listed. I know there's tax and gratuity but felt a bit ripped off. Good food, show was good not great. Spent more time handing out dollar bills to performers than actually preforming. read more

Amazing food and amazing service. Regime Phillips my awesome friend you landed in the greatest place in Chicago. Love love love love.

Date night out and to say I had a ball would be an understatement. Although a bit pricey, the food, drinks and show were worth every penny. If you're looking for a fun night out on the town definitely make a trip to Lips! read more

The food was bad for the price but the entertainment was great. There's other Drag Queen shows in Chicago that's less pricey as this place.

Regine is a goddess!! We absolutely love this place. Such a hidden gem. The show and food were amaze-balls!

Super disappointing. My girlfriend and I booked the NYE package for $170. We received a mediocre (2.5 star) 3-course meal, a random bottle of champagne for the toast, and the drag show was pretty routine. Here's the kicker, on top of the $170 package, the staff is constantly pressing u to spend more. "Would you like another drink", "do you need singles to tip the show girls", " would you like a shot, we'll add it to your bill". The NYE count down was done right at 12 midnight. By 12:10am the waitress was handing out the checks for the entire seating area. A 20% gratuity had already been added (plus our 3 additional drinks). Our total bill was $271 from what started off as a $170, already overpriced, package. After the waitress collected the checks from the entire section, she asked if the 20% gratuity was ok.... You already collected the bills lady , so people just nodded and said yes. All in all I felt ripped off and "dooped". Well LIPS CHICAGO, never again. Very disappointed. read more

Great show and service but the food is so not worth the price. I wish I could rate the food separate and give a half of star. read more

Had a wonderful time with friends at Lips Chicago. Great entertainment and lots of fun. The food was good and the mimosas were awesome. We went on a Sunday for brunch. They provided great service and the place is incredibly cute. I can't wait To return! read more

I've been twice and had a great time on both occasions. The service is fast and friendly The performers are entertaining with lots of audience participation. The show MC is hilarious with a quick wit when engaging guest celebrating a birthday or special occasion. Our whole party Really enjoyed ourselves!! read more

I came here for my birthday on a Saturday night and had an absolute blast. The food surpassed my expectations, the service was attentive, the frozen cosmo (signature drink) was so strong! The show was entertaining, I made a reservation for 8 total and every single person (including my straight bf) enjoyed themselves. Highly recommend! Thank you for the great birthday!! read more

I really wanted to give LIPS five stars but after thinking carefully, I had to be honest. The show, the food and our server Gemma were absolutely amazing. BUT, we got off to a bad start. I wanted to celebrate my birthday in a special way, so I decided LIPS would be perfect with 10 of my good girlfriends. When I called to make the reservation, I spoke to a very rude, very caustic individual who made it plan that he was just trying to get me off the phone. I almost hung up on that ignorant person, but stayed the course because I heard so many wonderful reviews. The night of the party, it was wonderful. It was Diva night and Liza and Beyonce were off the chain. Our server Gemma was patient with all the ladies and took good care of us, and I got a special moment as a birthday girl. It went downhill from there. When the show was over, at exactly 930 or maybe before, the staff started stacking chairs on the tables that were empty around us. Sweeping the floor and cleaning up saying move without using the words The performers were sitting at the bar, watching us as if saying, please get the fuck out of here, show's over. I run a production once a month, and I tell my workers, do not make people feel as if they have to get out as soon as the show is over, do not stack chair or start sweeping. It kills the entire evening. At Lips, they made it plain. Once you pay your bill, and the show is over, then your time with us is over. I didn't like that, and I won't go back. If you are like me and want to take the time to savor your evening, sit back with your drink and talk to your friends after a good time, then LIPS is not the place for you. The show was great, but afterward the ambiance was horrible. read more

This place is beautiful! Went with friends Sunday night. Torri was our server. Mimi was on 10! Mimi did such a great job, as well as all the other performers. The energy was marvelous. Clean bathrooms. Good service from top to bottom. The food was food, nothing spectacular but not at all bad. Bring tip money. Now i need to go to the new Baton to compare the two. read more

So much fun! Worth the trip to the south loop. Our server, Kalli(mari), was very sweet and attentive. I had low expectations for the brunch food since the show is the focus, but it was actually great. I had the chicken and waffles, yum! The mimosas were okay, but they also have a full bar. Performances were fun and the run time for the show wasn't too long. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a colorful (loud!) Sunday brunch. read more

My friends and I went to lips to celebrate a birthday. The club is beautiful / the food delicious, the entertainment was outstanding. We had a great time except - The only issue was our server, Victoria LaPaige. She started off being very curt then rude. Victoria was not polite with the order. My friend is older, he was having a hard time scanning the barcode to get menu. Victoria didn't try to help and made us seem like we were bothering her. She didn't check on us - the other staff came by and picked up out used items. I would have given the experience 5 stars but Victoria was terrible. She needs to be retrained and learn to be polite. read more

Marvelous show! Mimi Marks is a superb hostess/MC Laughter after Laughter. The aesthetics of this venue is extremely detailed. read more

Very very disappointed. It is a different concept to Chicago. U need to order 2 drinks and you need to order food. And if you don't eat your plate show won't start.? Hello read more

This place is awful. Overpriced, the WORST food in town (frozen stadium crap), tacky and completely amateur. Chicago is a drag and theatre town and this doesn't cut it. Save your money and head to The Baton or Kit Kat. And, the repeated shout-outs on the mic to "go to the ATM in the lobby to get some money to tip the girls" and "get your singles ready" was beyond tacky and we felt like we were in a 90s stripper bar. So, LIPS,...take a note...you're on the right track with Mimi, but step it up everywhere else. Everywhere. On stage and OFF. read more

Went last night for a birthday celebration. It was the worst food and service I have ever seen.they messed up my order totally not caring. I tried to use the atm machine when I first got there it was broken .and no one is really in control of the location they didn't even try to make the experience any better the food is garbage the only thing that helped is that the a Cooke performers were good otherwise it was a place I will never return I went to the one in NYC omg way better Chicago location needs better management to run better and please someone taste the food it was over cooked expire tasting read more

What an AMAZING experience! The performers and staff did an outstanding job hosting our recent Bachelor Party. We will definitely come back again. Adam & Steven read more

Amazing atmosphere! Great attention to detail in atmosphere! Everyone is genuinely HAPPY to be here and work here! They make you feel like the most important person and thats priceless! Amazing service from the entertainers as THEY are YOUR severs! Most definitely highly recommend! If any feedback to be better is to serve slightly bigger portions on the entrees. Thank you so much for the fantastic experience! Highly HIGHLY recommend! read more

I attended the Dragalicious Gospel Brunch for my friend's 50th birthday party. Our hostess/showgirl Mikki Miraj was lovely. May I say, I felt right at home in the LIPS Chicago drag palace, with all of its lavish velvet, bright colors, glitz, glitter and animal print! As a performer, and someone who serves the public for a living, I have a great deal of admiration for the hosts/performers who, not only provided excellent and friendly table service with our food and drinks, but then, got up on stage and put on an energetic show, with expensive costumes, and well-rehearsed, professional routines. They take a lot of pride in what they do, and they work their asses off! Next time I have a sub-par server in some generic restaurant, I'll be twice as annoyed and disappointed. Because I will think about the daily effort put in to provide a quality experience and good time for our special occasion at a place like LIPS. I would much rather take my money where it is deserved, and I felt today was worth every penny. I highly recommend considering LIPS to host your next special occasion. read more

My partner brought me here as a surprise for my birthday celebration on their opening night. Everyone from the people outside greeting people on their way in/valet, host/ess, waitresses, and performers were all so nice, welcoming and attentive! Everyone was chatty, funny and great performers. The decor is on point! The food was surprisingly very good! The drink pours are heavy and the entertainment is great. Was expecting less than average for being south of downtown because we get forgotten down here but the ladies were great! Hope it sticks around! read more

My dinner was burned didnt kno until i left. Guess thats why they kept asking if my food was ok. I mean burned, taste like lighter fluid. Im not impressed. I hit them up on Instagram no response. They need a lot of work. The show host from New York was funny but i wasnt impressed with show either. I wont be back! read more

Absolutely amazing! One of the greatest shows I have ever seen! Great food and drinks! Entertainment at its finest!

This place is over-the-top amazing. Fabulous decor, very nice servers, good food. Two of us had the penne with vodka sauce and one had the burger and we were all very happy. It was all wonderful but I don't think I can go back! The intensity of the non-stop unbelievably loud music has actually caused some pain in my ears and some dizziness! I really fear for the performers, being exposed to that. I predict hearing loss for them. I'd give five stars otherwise. Just to be safe, bring earplugs; no joke! read more

Exceptional superior service. The customer service is the best in the city. Exceeded all expectations. The food was amazing. The staff works as one team and they are OUTSTANDING. The venue is stunning, everything is 5 star of the highest quality. It's a little pricey but worth it. Ruff N Stuff was absolutely hilarious he is worth seeing every week. read more

Show was ok, food was HORRIBLE even the salad was nasty. I cantttttttt in vip it's 40 flat and ur menu options are not wide. Salad , entree and dessert tray . You all need to change the menu or who cooking it bland as hell .food and fun all that matters . It's so pretty in there read more

This place is beautiful and so are the people who work there. I was there this Sunday for the Gospel Brunch and the food was surprisingly good and the show was amazing. I cannot wait to go back. read more

The ladies/servers (S/O to Kensli fine ass) were really nice and they were attentive! The venue is very pretty! Like I'd love to have a private event held here! I had the salmon entree and it was pretty good! My friend had the lobster ravioli which she said was good and my other friend had the shrimp Alfredo and we each ate all of our food. The lobster ravioli is a small portion so be mindful of that if you're really hungry. Bathrooms were clean and nice. My drink was good and strong. I had a frozen Cosmo and it's their popular drink for a reason. The show was nice and entertaining but after the performers start they really just start to walk around to the music and collect tips. I personally would've like to see more routine or a longer stage performance. If it's your birthday or bachelorette party they give you something special. I had a nice time and would go back. Valet was TRIPPING! They told my friend that she had to walk two blocks to get her car cause they were swamped. Please be mindful that the stated cost for Saturday show is not ALL you're going to pay. $39.95 doubled QUICK! read more

Phenomenal. I went for the Gospel Brunch show. These queens absolutely delivered! The show was entertaining AND the food was delicious. The venue is amazing all by itself and will get you in a MOOD! Yes! It's worth every penny, but bring your own singles bc the bar ran out during my visit. read more

Great Place - we went for my sons birthday and it was a wonderful gospel brunch with fabulous decor and great food and an amazing cast a must go for everyone we loved it! read more

We came here for Sunday brunch, it was amazing. The price is amazing and the service is amazing. We definitely will be back and let people know about this place. read more

Such an incredible experience! The food was standard, but the entertainment and cocktails made up for it. Bravo Lips!

I came here with a large group for a engagement party and had a very fun time! The venue is magnificently decorated from the pin striped walls to the glamorous stage. The ladies at LIPS perform a great show, keep your drinks flowing, and provide a wonderful brunch for a great price! Highly recommend!! read more
