    Met friends in the city for brunch and this far exceeded our expectations on every level! The brunch was delicious, the endless mimosas truly endless, and the performers were a perfect combination of stand up comedy, broadway and the best drag show in NYC! Please go to the Sunday brunch and tip these girl generously! And don’t forget to #spreadlove!

    Had the best time! Drinks were strong, show was great and had a bunch of laughs. Ginger snap (I believe that is the name of the host was amazing) Saw her back in 2018 and had to come back to celebrate my birthday!

    We went to Lips for their December Christmas Broadway Brunch, and it was an absolutely fantastic time! Every visit to Lips is a celebration, but this one was extra special as we brought my 81-year-old mother for her birthday, as well as my son and his boyfriend. The talent and energy of the performers are always incredible, and they never fail to get the crowd engaged and excited. Lips is truly a place where everyone—from 15 to 80—can feel included and have a blast. The atmosphere is unmatched, filled with laughter, joy, and fun. What makes Lips stand out even more is the warmth and kindness of everyone who works there. From the busboys to the floor captains, every single person is welcoming and attentive. A huge shoutout to Ginger Snaps and Shiny Penny, who went above and beyond to make my mom feel special on her birthday. They even assisted her when she needed help moving around, which was so thoughtful and kind. The Christmas Broadway Brunch was nothing short of magical. The festive performances, vibrant atmosphere, and attention to detail made it an unforgettable experience for everyone in our group. My son and his boyfriend had a fantastic time too—it’s truly a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can feel at home. If you’re looking for a unique, inclusive, and joyous experience, Lips is the place to go. We’ve been here many times, and every visit somehow gets better and better. Highly recommended for any celebration—or just a fun day out! We can’t wait to come back! 💖

    Wonderful experience. Everyone was so nice and engaging. Food was better than I thought it would’ve been. I took my friend for her 39th birthday and she really enjoyed it.
