    Lips is so fun and perfect for a large group. The queens are amazing at what they do and are so funny! Food is OK but everything else was amazing and I would recommend :)

    Drinks were weak for a Drag Bar, Food was great, would have liked to see a few more shrimp in my shrimp Alfredo. I feel kind of silly at least with the shrimp part, but any feedback is good feedback . I had a great time!

    The Lips experience is a must do when visiting San Diego. The food was great, the performers were outstanding and the prices were reasonable. Cheyenne gave service with sexy smeyez and was also a headline performer. Can you tell she was my "FAV". So I do encourage you to go out to Lips and show these ladies some love. You will definitely Eat ,Drink, Get Fat, and Be Drunkkk!!!😆 😂..Cheyenne luvvv youuu..mean itttt!!! KBRow Family

    Over priced if you are a non drinker. Should offer a discount.
