    The number one entertainment spot in San Diego for any event, hands down. Lips is a whole vibe and I’m here for it. I’ve taken family and friends four times this year and it’s been spot on at all times. They have both Brunch and Dinner. I’m looking forward to Bingo nigh, so sign up today and don’t miss out.

    If you find yourself in San Diego, this should be top of the list of things to do. Everyone was amazing - host, bartender, and queens!! The food was mediocre, so I do suggest eating something beforehand. This wouldn’t stop me from going again though.

    Portions sizes are big. Come hungry! Ordered the Carne Asada breakfast and took over half of the carne asada home. Drinks are well made, and our glass was never empty. Attentive wait staff and overall wonderful performances. Awesome time!

    Food is great! Taste is better than any fancy restaurants out there. We ordered the Sirloin Steak(cook to perfection), Shrimp Scampi and Seared salmon. Big serving too! Cocktail drinks are so delicious! Ambiance is gorgeous! The show was entertaining! Highly recommend for girls or boys night out. Will definitely come back here again!

    My best friend chose LIPS for his birthday dinner. Though we've both lived in the area for years, we hadn't previously been to LIPS and he thought it would be fun for his birthday. There was a set price of $49.95 for the show, with a three-course dinner, on a Friday night. Other nights had different prices, presumably based on demand. You get to choose between a variety of entrees, with a predetermined appetizer and dessert. I chose the chicken piccata, which was very delicious. My friend chose lasagna. Cocktails average around $15 each, so if you plan on having a few drinks, the cost of the evening will add up fast. The drag performers were very energetic and fun. Bring lots of singles (or they provide change at the venue), to tip the performers throughout the show. Overall, it was a really fun evening and we'd definitely go again. I'd recommend it for a fun night out with friends. We're not big drinkers, so we only had one cocktail each. Just be aware that if you like to have a few, the evening could be a little more expensive.
