Overcharged and Underwhelmed... It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. I expected a lot more considering the huge amount of money we spent that evening. Food and drink was way overpriced for what we ending up getting ...bland small portions. The show was so short ...no stage. Just the servers running around the small cramped dining room.

Very disappointed :( I wanted to celebrate my best friends bachlorette party and found Lips website online. They claimed to be such a fun place for such a party. Unfortunately it wasn't so. I didn't expect the food to be good and it wasn't. But I did expect to have a good time, and I didn't. The waitress didn't make us feel special. Just the opposite. I think she had something against us. We were ignored and thrown a... Read More On Citysearchbgboy1 1/26/2010
Great Time! We had a great time. The girls give personalized attention for bachelorettes, birthdays, etc. We didn't eat the food, we just paid the cover so I can't comment there. We were not told that a 20% tip is added to your bill automatically. Read More On Citysearchtmmrd 4/12/2009
Great for any event! It was my first time at a drag queen show and I LOVED IT!! It was so much fun how the they get the audience involved. The drinks were sooo yummy. The decoration was fabolous. The only thing that I did not like was that they forgot to bring out my food. There was 8 of us and they brought theirs but not mine. It took a while to get our waitress's attention but finally she noticed and it took anothe... Read More On Citysearchcriticoneone 3/25/2009
Good Food, Good times I went to Lips for the first time a few weeks ago and I had a great time. The food was great, the staff was friendly and funny, and the entertainment was a barrel of laughs! I recommend this place for anyone with an open mind and wants to have a good time. Read More On CitysearchDeeDee200 2/2/2009
for the cluless this is the type of place that is for people who don't know what a wild really is, but think that this is. Very Bridge and Tunnel. While there are drag queens working here, this is by no means a drag bar. Read More On Citysearchnykia 12/30/2008

fun place, ok food I took a friend of mine here for her birthday. We had a lot of fun looking at all the drag queens and watching their antics. The food was totally forgettable, but the drinks were pretty good. I would recommend it at least once! Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 7/5/2008
LIPS Best place to go for a birthday, bachelorette party ,or girls night out. All the waitresses are drag queens, and love to tease and grope all their guests. Every saturday they lip sync to fun songs. The food and drinks are great, all with crazy names like The RuPaul, grilled chicken and potatoes, and a blow job shot. Just make sure not to bring any straight men with you, the most likely won't enjo... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 6/17/2008
What show? We took a bachelorette party there and they say there is a show. The show is pretty much 3 waiters each sing one song. It was about a 15 minute show if that. So, if you are looking to just get served by drag queens and have a 15 minute show it's perfect, otherwise it's nothing special!! Read More On Citysearchemru 4/27/2008
The perfect place for a bachelorette!!! I expected the workers to be bitchy, but for the most part, I was pleasantly surprised. The gal who took my reservation, the hostess and our waitress were great. Very pleasant and friendly. Our waitress was fantastic, they really do earn their money. The only thing is that the bus boys were not very nice and when we asked for plates to eat our appetizers, he ignored us. The food wasn't the b... Read More On CitysearchTaniaebj 7/2/2007
Great show, great food This is a fantastic place. The shows are incredibly entertaining, the food is awesome. Not even terribly expensive, especially for a place in new york city. But be warned that on weekends there's a $7 cover charge, PER PERSON. Some waitresses are better than others, but its always fun. Read More On Citysearchgrlwithemostcake 6/29/2007
I loathe this place! This place was a huge disappointment. The waiter took away all appetizers when the entrees came. And you know what the problem was? We haven't even touched them yet! The food was disgusting. Veggie lasagna was nasty, and the chicken fettucine was disgusting and undercooked. The performers were not entertaining at all. They didn't even try. When the bill came, they had charged us for drinks we ord... Read More On Citysearchenvymeny 6/29/2007
Good entertainment, good food, fun, felt welcomed We were there over 6 months ago and I just realized I can write a review now. It was really great. I ran an outing for 50 ladies and it was a smash. The entertainment was fantastic, food was great, the price was right. (we went for sunday brunch). Everyone had a great time. Because of this we tried Lucky Chengs for a change. Chengs was beyond horrible. People go to Lips, if you must go back aga... Read More On Citysearchdonnared 6/26/2007
Best Bithday Ever!!! All Hail The Queens I went To Lips for my 23rd Birthday it was so much FUN. All the girls were so Friendly and Cheeky. The Food was excellent but, a small portion. The drinks were great. I went for the 9:00 o'clock show, which I highly recommend. The Show is great, they make you a part of it. Just The Best Experience. I give it a 9 out of 10 because my bill came up to $300 for 5 people( a bit more than I ex... Read More On Citysearchstylishvixen 3/3/2007
Bachelorette Party Fun! Went there this past Saturday for a Bachelorette Party and it was so much fun! Went with a group of 12 girls and we had a great time. The show was entertaining but be ready to be put on the spot and they may use you as part of the show. The food was good although one member of our party did not get her food until half an hour after the rest of us did. We also got a male stripper which did his...

Fun! Lips is a great place to have a fun evening in NYC. My friends and I usually go there every time we are in the city. The staff is very friendly, the food is very good, and so is the service. I would highly recommend going there for a fun experience! Read More On Citysearchanglennon 6/2/2006

Enter at your own Risk I go to Lips several times a month. Their Sunday brunch is amongst the most reasonable in the city, plus you get an outrageously funny show, the wit of Kenny Dash and those FABulous waitresses/songbirds! At any given time, the food is good - the best for any themed restaurant I've visited, the drinks and wines are reasonably priced. If you're going (and I recommend you go) please remember... ...

Absolutely loved it!!! I was walking in the Greenwich Village when I saw a crowd standing outside smoking. I asked them what kind of place it was and was told it was a drag bar. Never been to a drag bar in my life, I went in with no expectation and no knowledge of what kinda place it was. It turned out to be one of the most fun places I've been to in NY. Drinks were good, people were friendly, the show was absolutely h... Read More On Citysearchttung123 10/18/2005
Oh Yeah!! Although a bit pricey, for an occasional splurge and entertainment-fest, check this place out. Even the most unassuming of patrons will find Lips enjoyable, due in large part to the wonderful staff, who consist mostly of unpretentious, every-bit-the-welcome-wagon, (dare I say gorgeous) Queens! The food was good, too. Read More On Citysearchkimmore 10/22/2004

Fab!!!!! I recently joined a group of friends for dinner at LIPS. We had one of the best nights out we've had in a long time. The food was great and the drag queens were even greater. I'm definitely going to make this a restaraunt to return to soon. Read More On Citysearchritchey77 4/25/2003
Very odd Went for a friends birthday. This place is very disturbing. Just very very sad. It's my fault really. I should have known we shouldn't have gone there. Guess I thought it would be fun. Had to go to go find some real boys on 8th Ave. to recover from this trauma! Read More On Citysearchstolio 2/10/2003
Fun for Everyone! I guess it's all about expectations. I think Lips is a great place for Sunday brunch. The waitresses are funny and campy, the food is adequate, and the entertainment is a scream. With a place like this, the main focus is having fun...and that's exactly what my friends and I have each time we go there. Read More On Citysearchgmanko 1/31/2003
