Checked this place out for a friend's bachelorette and it was the most fun! The show itself was very entertaining and every performance they did was top notch (also couldn't stop laughing at their jokes)! Service was great and loved the fact that the entertainers were our servers. Food was alright, but I would 100% come back here for the entertainment itself. Claps all around for the staff here. Amazing show!Bri M

Service was excellent and show was great! Interior was well decorated and awesome vibes. Waitress and dancer Empress was a sweetheart and a show stopper! Knocked 1 star off for food(brunch)- had no taste and was very dry.Jon Langbert

It’s impossible to not have a fun night out here. The food was surprisingly good, with something for everyone. Drinks were popular, too. They also bring shots around. The entertainers were all super funny and did a great job riffing with my kids for their birthday.E C

LOVED IT!!! Such a fun dinner. Food was better than expected, drinks were strong and reasonably priced. 20% tip is automatically included but you can ask them to remove it (but honestly those ladies deserve every penny!!!) Minimum age to enter is 16 for anyone wondering.Mikhaela James

I was here yesterday. It was my first time and I can't describe how great this place is. My friends and I had a great time. I will definitely be back. Thanks for making my birthday the best. Cheers to all the drag queens. I'll be back soon. Sincerely, Margie.Doug Sinning

We celebrated our 32nd anniversary on the last night visiting NYC for the week. Lips was just right. Heidi Ho was hosting. She was fun, energetic and engaging! The food was amazing. Seriously, the BEST Salmon I've ever had in my life! Our drag waitress was Lauren and she was very hospitable and attentive. She also did a great drag number! Will visit again next time we are in NYC!Elizabeth Chacko

A fabulous experience! We went for the Saturday brunch and show. I had expected the food to be mediocre and the drinks watered-down. But to my delight, the waffles that came with fresh berries and syrup were delicious. My friend's omelet was in point. The drinks were strong and kept coming. The show was a lot of fun with sashaying and dancing queens and risque banter. Miz O was my favorite. She embodied Whitney Houston! The staff was friendly and attentive. The hostesses will exchange larger bills for one dollar bills for you to give the dancers. People who were celebrating birthdays and engagements were given crowns. It was a lot of fun and I would go back.Lanie R.

Went there with friends with no expectation other than enjoying a good drag show. It was amazing, you don’t go there for the food, however the brunch was good. The ambiance was through the roof, our drag waitress, Miss Empress was fantastique and the drag show exceeded our expectations. Highly reccomand.Melissa M.

Came here end of July 2024 for a combined bachelor/bachelorette party. There were 12 of us, and we had a blast. The food was great, generous portions( most of us had the chicken and waffles)and the bottomless bloody Mary’s and mimosas were good too! The service was good. Show was fun, the main MC and performer was the best-great comedian. The rest of the “girls” were okay. Just to advise there is no so going here just lip singing and some dancing but overall a really good time.Jay B

Roxy our server was so sweet and attentive. Then when she took stage she was fierce! We loved everyone that performed and that was working that night. The made my daughter’s 18th birthday so fun. The food is so so, the drinks are strong and tasty, but we all know you are there for the show and they don’t disappoint you! We did the glamour show on Saturday night. I highly recommend it!Jill A.

This was hands down the BEST drag show I’ve been to in NYC. The food was incredible (I got the Ru Paul chicken dinner) and the employees were amazing!! It’s such a safe environment and shout out to Twiggy for being the most awesome substitute bartender/drag queen around!! Twiggy put on the best show I’ve ever seen (the dancing was phenomenal and the performance as a whole was the most incredible thing I’ve ever witnessed live). I cannot wait to come back and see more performances soon!! Thank you to everyone for being so kind and entertaining!! 🙂Ake Malach

Lips Drag Queen Show Palace Restaurant & Bar provided an exceptional setting for my 50th birthday celebration with loved ones. From the moment we arrived, the vibrant atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable evening. What made it even more special was that they allowed in my teenage girls, unlike other drag places in New Jersey and Philly. The combination of delectable cuisine, lively performances, and reasonable prices ensured everyone had a fantastic time. The drag queens were both stunning and incredibly talented, captivating the audience with their charisma and flair. Being called on stage for a personalized roast added an exciting thrill, while the birthday cake was a sweet touch that made the celebration even more special. I highly recommend Lips for anyone seeking a memorable and entertaining night out.Kash B.

The atmosphere was so gorgeous, Performers were great. They brought around dollar bills so that you could tip the performers- I didn’t have to worry about stopping at the ATM, which was great. The Caesar salad was tasty. Our server was “shiny penny” She was fabulous we loved her! I would definitely go backDan Dehnke

OMG this place is FABULOUS! Went here for my daughters 21st birthday and had a great time. All the Queens put on a great show and our server Chandelier is amazing on and off the stage. Went for the 6pm dinner and show. It's a prefixed menu but with enough options there's something for everyone. Drinks were just as great and packed a punch too. Been here a couple of times to and can't wait to go backChico C.

Lips and all the lovely ladies and staff hats off to you ALL!!!! Thank you for making my cherry popped memorable for all time 💚 If you want to have a fun night with food worth while come to lips for sure!Alexandra Szoke

Highly recommended!! Thank you for such a wonderful time. It was my best friend's first drag show and first time to NYC and we couldn't ask for any experience better than with you! From the the fabulous greeting upon arrival, to the front row seating, to the tasty food, and glorious hosts-- we had an absolute blast. Come visit Lips for ANY occasion. It's a truly special place and an amazing show. Make sure you bring some singles for your lovely queens-- they work their butts off!! Much love from Portland Oregon ❤️ we will visit again!A special thanks to the lips manager for making this all extremely special. They were an absolute delight upon arrival and even managed to get a group photo for us, which truly made my evening. Thank you again!!Jaelyn S.

You will be taken care of here! The performers are obviously skilled and polished in their acts, and everyone is warm and accepting and welcoming. If you were looking for a drag brunch, you will not be disappointed by going to Lips. We were in town for my birthday this weekend and where we had made our other reservations, unfortunately had to cancel our reservations last minute. But Lips immediately got us in and from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left treated us like we were special and welcome guests. Even giving me a Birthday card with a printed photo with the host and another of the performers. The wait staff and bus staff were like a well oiled machine and the mimosas and bloody Marys were truly bottomless! Will absolutely come back the next time we visit.Jocelynn K.

Genuinely had the time of my life during a brunch visit. My party went early afternoon so we got the cheeseburger and fries and berry waffles. The food came out incredibly fast and was delicious ! Large beef patty cooked perfectly and crunchy fries. They contuinally refilled our pitchers mimosa.The entertainment!!! Oh my goodness I haven't laughed or sang so loudly in my life. Everyone was having such an amazing time. The song selections were fantastic and the performances were beyond !Do not hesitate, go there immediately.Jim G.

The show was great. I was laughing and dancing the whole night. The girls looked so beautiful. The food was okay that’s why I gave it 4 stars. We did the prefixed menu which comes with Caesar salad, entree, sugar cookies and red velvet cupcakes for 42 dollars drinks not included. I got the salmon for my entree the sauce on top was very good but the salmon itself could have used more seasoning. It was supposed to come with jasmine rice but it came with potatoes which were very good. The drinks are not included except water. I ordered the cosmopolitans they said it was sweet and it was not kind of bitter actually. The red velvet cupcakes were good but the sugar cookies did not they fondant icing on them that tasted nasty and made the cookies really hard.Jack Day

Came here for the NYE drag show. It was very fun, my first show in New York. The food was good, it came out quite fast and the steak size was huge but undercooked. I had the salmon (although it said char on the menu) and it was quite good. The polenta was the best I've had. We did feel rushed as the show was going to start but it was a good hearty meal. The show was good, all the queens had playlists that were themed.Afterwards the celebration for new years was quite fun and the staff looked to be having a fantastic time.Adam W.

I went during Halloween weekend this was my first drag queen show experience. The service was very attentive and my drink was never empty. The food was also good and had large portions. The performers are incredibly talented! I wasn’t celebrating anything but lots of birthdays and bachelorette parties were in the house. They brought them up on stage to take photos and was very inactive with the crowd. Extremely fun night! Highly recommend bringing extra cash to tip the amazingggg performers (they do have $1 bills if you need to exchange also a ATM on site) !!Justice J.

We had a lovely time at Lips. We attended on a Sunday and the Queens did work very hard and it is truly a family run small business. Food was decent and the show was lots of fun - I was made to get up and dance!Generous cocktails but it took quite a long time for us to get the bill sorted, and there was an emphasis on tipping! Not that there’s a problem but just increase the show fee and pay the queens more, the ongoing requests for tips very slightly ruined the show for me. But must emphasise we did have a good time and would recommend going on a Sunday evening.The queens were so polite and helpful and really made the night for us.Launa Christiansen

03:43 17 Aug 22
Absolutely brilliant drag, but the food is appalling. My advice - eat before, order minimum spend on food on something like spinach dip, and just enjoy the show! This is pricey compared to other drag venues for sure, but it's super inclusive if this is your first time! If willing to forgive the food, you will love this! Shiny Penny is a particular highlight, and Tuesday karaoke is very fun!Victoria W.

My First time here and it was a cool experience. Went for a buddy's Birthday Celebration. The food was good, hot, fresh the space was a little tight on the evening that I was there but it appears that everyone was having a nice time. The drag host was kind, funny and continued to ensure our needs was met. The bar is located to the right and the bathrooms was located upstairs. A comfortable place for AllBella

01:05 17 May 22
we went in with no expectations because it was our first drag show but wow was it a super exciting experience! the food (in reference to the main entree, the salad and cookies on the other hand, were nothing special) was surprisingly very delicious and so were the drinks. drinks were a little expensive but as are most places that serve alcohol at a show. you also get a cute lip shaped shot glass to keep as a souvenir. a super fun first time experience, definitely recommend going with friends, as a girls night out, or events like birthday/bachelor/bachelorette parties as they have a special moment for brides, grooms, and people who are celebrating their birthdays. our host was lovely and all the staff were very attentive! just note the mandatory 20% gratuity added on the bill already.Crystal

Definitely fun atmosphere!!My first time going and i absolutely loved it!!Everyone was very nice from the managers to all the queens there.. the lady at the door ariana was very sweet..I had such an amazing time.. all performances was greatThe food was good.

14:53 27 Mar 22
All the stars!!!!! Super super super fun girls night out! GREAT entertainment and dancing by the performers you’ll need to bring cash for tipping the ladies but they’ll provide change for you at the table for dollar bills. Get the chocolate cake. It’s fudgy and delicious!Grace Face

Avoid if you dont want to be ripped off!!! Our overall experience was v poor and we would not recommend this particular drag show to anyone. We did not consider the show to be good value for money. Our server's attitude was pretty poor and at times rude. The food was barely edible and the booze was also of poor quality and overpriced. The performance from the drag artists themselves didn't last v long, most of the show was taken up with wishing strangers a happy birthday. Unfortunately, the overall experiencewas very underwhelming and expensive for what you are getting.Britney Bambace

This was the BEST experience of my entire life ! I celebrated my 23rd birthday at LIPS & boyyyy did they NOT disappoint! I was brought up on stage and laughed my a** off with these lovely ladies! What an awesome performance! Highly recommend to all my friends, family and anyone I engage with who are looking for an awesome night out!Michael Barabash

Went for the 1st time. Not impressed. Entire experience felt rushed. From moment I walked through the door, being seated, to food order and drinks. The food was surprisingly very good as was the drinks. Drinks not cheap and for the size, not really worth it. The performances were not that good. Cheesy best described them. Over all not worth the price.Ana M.

My friend & I went for the Brunch Show and it was Fabulous!!!!!!!! The food was mehh. Not bad, just not great, but who's going for the food? I had no idea that the servers were also the performers so kudos to the double duty. The $6 bottomless Mimosa's & Bloody Mary's are an excellent deal, and they're not watered down. Ginger Snapt was the MC and was hilarious. The energy was amazing and I will definitely be going back.holly fox

***Public safety WARNING Wear ear protection to protect your hearing*** I spent the past Saturday with a group for a bachelorette party and we had a blast! Lips is delightful, the staff an equal measure of salty and sweet, and the performances were uplifting, powerful and a joy to behold. That said, the audio in the space was so loud that a number of the members from our group are still experiencing ringing in our ears two days later due to the dangerous volume level from the sound system. I would recommend LIPS for dinner and a show, particularly for a special event on the town, but please stop into a pharmacy before arrival for ear plugs or risk permanent hearing damage.I T

This was our second time at lips for their Christmas extravaganza and worth every penny!! Although the drinks have definitely increased since we were there two years ago we understand that after COVID and hard times this is necessary at times. We said it the first time and we will say it again... The food is fantastic, the drinks are strong and tasty and the performances including the MC and her superb roasting abilities made our entire visit to NYC. See you next year!!!Umberto Salamone

We visited to have some fun, and we did! I loved the burger i ordered. The drag queens were such a great treat, giving us so much reason to be happy and feel great! They exude a cheerful vibe and share a lot of tummy aching humor 😂divababy 44

I had my 23RD birthday celebration here tonight and I had the time of my life. I enjoyed the show and the dinner. I went solo and thought it would be awkward but it was not. Everyone was so kind and the food was delicious.Thank you Lips NYC for a great time, my birthday night was the best!Kris Kashtanova

We absolutely enjoyed our dinner at Lips. My friend had a birthday, so he was crowned on stage and got the photo postcard, which was so nice.The food was okay. There’s one vegetarian option and they made one vegan option for a friend.It’s a great place for a celebration.Cheyne T.

Had such a fun time celebrating my birthday here! The divas are super friendly but aren’t afraid to roast you either so be warned if you’re fragile. The food was great too! Such a good experienceDeborah Ortiz

We had my daughter's bachelorette there in May. We had 13 women and we had a blast. food was good entertainment was outrageous. My daughter who didn't know where she was going was skeptical at first, but she had an awesome time. very professional drinks were great. Taking my friend for her birthday! can't wait.Georgia Hensley

Lips is happening! If your celebrating a birthday, why not celebrate it here. You'll get a gold crown and get to get your photo taken with 2 lovelies. Our gorgeous waitress resembled Marilyn Monroe, we tried the steak and eggs, cheeseburgers and chicken and waffles. We were satisified and happy with our Brunch. We will definitely be returning. Lips is open for dinner and Sunday brunch. Reservations are required. No deliveries Lips is located at 227 E. 56th, New York City. Don't forget to bring $1's 🙂David L.

The show was amazing! The staff overall was super friendly and even the decor was fun to look at. The food in earnest was pretty hefty so you really don’t need to get snacks or anything before you come in, same goes for the drinks which are pretty big too. Would definitely come again! undefined #buzzyboothNYCFASHIONVAULT

I LOVE LIPS!! This is my second time coming to this show. My waitress was beautiful and fabulous! The show was excellent and so was the food, and drinks. It was my sister's birthday and ( for an extra fee) she was given a crown, called on stage during the show for a birthday shout-out. They gave her a cupcake with a birthday candle and she took a picture with the performers. My girls and I had a great time.Netra A.

I took my son here for his birthday today for the Brunch and show and I'm glad I did ! It was so much fun. I haven't laughed so much since this horrific pandemic presented itself. My son enjoyed it just as much and the food was good as well. I will definitely go back for a girls night out soon. 💋Thank you divas for the great time.Michael W.

I went to Lips for the Thursday night show and had the Queen Shiney Penny for my waitress who provided by great service to my table. It was first drag show and was a great introduction to the scene. It was very enjoyable making me wanna check out other shows.The food was actually good and so we're the drinks. Due to the prices of the door, food cost,drinks costing $11-$17, plus doors to tip the Queen's don't expect to pay less then $50-60 a person but it's worth it.The show is designed around people celebrating births, bachelorettes parties and divorce. They ask this at the start of the show and mark the person at the table with a crown or tiara to bring them on stage later for more things later which makes it a night to remember. It's great and very inviting to people underage as their to my shock alot of people under 18 there but nothing raunchy was done. It's good clean funSarah Nordeck

Me and three of my oldest friends all celebrated our 40th birthdays with a trip to NYC, and our night at Lips was by far everyone's favorite part of the entire weekend. Morgan was our waitress and also my favorite performer with the best music! Everyone was so friendly. The food and drinks were great. The show was fantastic. We all got birthday crowns and got to go on stage for pictures with the hostess. Look to spend a some money but it's worth every penny! Don't miss a show if you're in town, especially if you're celebrating something special.Karen Patterson

Food was terrible, everything was overpriced, the show was short. Also seemed catered to a straight crowd, and did not feel welcoming at all to trans and queer+ people, which was incredibly disappointing. The only redeeming factor is the queens, they did an incredible job waiting tables and performing. I recommend seeing drag shows elsewhere, will not be coming back.Eva M.

This place is fun. I had my daughter's sweet sixteen here. They were very accommodating about seating our large group. I order from the middle group menu. I had pasta and it was very good. I loved the entertainment. Definitely an experience one must have.Guglielmo Didelot

Amazing, talented, funny, beautiful, charming, friendly and loving. Those are just some of the words I would use to describe all the Queens in one of the most fabulous venues in New York. This is an absolute find and one you will never forget. Stunningly beautiful Queens recreating some of the biggest Divas in the industry. Katy Perry, Diana Ross, Whitney, Mary J and Gaga all made an appearance while people sipped on drag themed cocktails.Stephanie Santana

This place was amazing. Every single person that worked there was extremely nice. The bartender was amazing as well. She was nice to everyone, made great drinks, and she was working hard all night as was everyone else. The show was so entertaining. Would 100% recommend coming here. I know I’ll be back soon!evelyn gonzalez

Just attended a bridal shower for my sister Glenda yesterday. Didn’t know what to expect, since this is my first time here. I had a blast for I don’t go out much. I really enjoyed myself. They really go out of their way to brighten your day. “SPREAD THE LOVE” if I make it to my 65th birthday, this is the place I would celebrate. 4 more years to go. Hope they are still around.😊😊❤️❤️Stephanie D.

I went on a Saturday in memory of a friend. The food was great I had salmon,my sister had steak and a friend ate shrimp pasta. They were all good I cleaned my plate! The mini desserts were good as well. The place is small and cozy. Only a few restrooms which were clean. I did not like my drink much neither did my company. They got something else I just drank water. Next time I will try something frozen. We attended the 9:00 show and waited outside for about 35 or 40 minutes. It was cool the wind was blowing and it started to drizzle. I wish they had a heater or some kind of cover for the sidewalk. Bottom line I will go again. Maybe try karaoke night or another theme. The ladies work hard for their money. Very entertaining and worthwhile.!😘
