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!
