    We came for the drag brunch experience! Was excited to try this place out. Food was very good and you received enough booze to pay off for what you’re spending per head. Only downside was the service, sadly. We were the second group to come in as soon as the doors opened and no one came to take care of our table until one of us had to go up to the bar to let them know we were still waiting. No drink orders or waters to get started. So many more people kept coming in and getting attended and we just sat there waiting until we saw food was starting to come out.

    I took my friend to Lips for her birthday. I wasn’t expecting amazing food, but having seen many drag shows, I was hoping for a fun performance. Unfortunately, this one fell flat. It felt like more attention went toward collecting tips and selling products than entertaining the audience. Our show was scheduled for 7 p.m., but it didn’t get going until around 8:20. We ended up leaving early, which was disappointing, especially for a birthday celebration. The servers were kind and kept smiling throughout, and I appreciated that.

    Saddest drag show I’ve ever seen. Our shoes were sticking to the floors because they were so dirty and unclean. We skipped eating and just had coffee with shots of whiskey in them. $20 for each shot of whiskey! $20 cover to get in. Ultimately a bad drag show and four shots of whiskey with 4 cups of coffee cost $120. Very disappointed.

    Turned up to the event we had booked for the venue to be closed, no prior warning or communication to inform us and have yet to recieve a response regarding this. Shame because we was very much looking forward to this!
