What makes Lips Chicago special

The room with chandeliers, neon lights and mannequin legs in stilettos is designed for groups. The dishes have drag names, and the shows run between courses. The crowd is mixed, with lots of bachelorette parties and tourists. Lips is less suited to a queer bar atmosphere.
