    Lips NYC was phenomenal! Seeing some drag shows in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio, I had no idea what I was missing. Shiny Penny was our server, and she was kind, humorous and attentive. The MC/host was hilarious, and the whole cast was amazing! The food was pretty tasty - I chose the grilled chicken sandwich and salad…the endless mimosas were the bomb. So much energy, entertainment and love! What a perfect way to spend my Sunday afternoon while visiting the Big Apple!

    This was soooooo much fun !! The performances were amazing and entertaining. It’s so easy to see how much work they put into their craft to make it a memorable experience to everyone who visits . The energy was perfect . Every single staff member I interacted with was so kind and welcoming. It was my daughter’s 18th birthday and they made it so special . I can’t thank them all enough. I’m terrible with names so I forget them all but I don’t have one single negative thing to say. This place is a must visit !!

    We had a blast. Such a fun brunch. Show was hysterical. Ginger Snap was an incredible MC. Quick, dynamic and so funny. All the performers/ servers were terrific. Can’t wait to return.

    Our experience at LIPS was outstanding!! I got tickets to celebrate my brother’s 40th bday (he lives in the city and my parents and I came from TX to visit). We had a BLAST at their Sunday Brunch. The ladies did not disappoint when it came to service and really brought it with their performance. We laughed, danced, cried and have to come back soon! We keep rewatching videos we took to relive our fun time and keep saying, “we haven’t had that much fun in forever!!” Thanks LIPS!

    It was so much fun. I had a blast it was giving life. However, my chicken was undercooked and it was very expensive, my table of 6 bill was 800$ and it was 60$ per person for 3 course meal and show
    Lips NYCResponded on July 13, 2025
    Thank you so much for joining us — we’re thrilled to hear you had a blast and that the show gave you life! 💃✨ That’s exactly the energy we love to bring! We’re truly sorry to hear that your chicken was undercooked — that’s not the standard we strive for, and we’ve shared your feedback with our kitchen team to ensure it’s addressed immediately. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable night — with everything cooked to perfection! Warmly, The Lips Team 💋
