Lips Drag Queen Show Palace, Restaurant & Bar 2229 S Michigan Ave Chicago

Lips touts itself as the “ultimate in drag dining.” Lips menu, courtesy of Tom J. Schmidt (Little Goat), emphasizes familiar favorites to sate diners as they take in a show. Smaller bites include the “Batty Davis,” (elote corn fritters with cilantro, lime zest, queso fresco, smoked chili crema) and the “Harlet Wench,” (battered calamari, garlic, Fresno aioli, basil dipping sauce). Entrees, deemed “the Ladies of Lips Couture Collection,” feature pasta dishes like the “Angel LeBare” (shrimp fettuccine alfredo), as well as beef and chicken dishes like the “Ryan Royale” (flat-iron chicken, kohlrabi slaw).

Lips drink menu highlights frozen drinks, cocktails, and specialty shots. These include the mini-chain’s signature drink, the “Yvonne Lame’” frozen cosmo, as well as a “Mimi Marks” frozen margarita, a selection of three flavored martinis, the strikingly named cocktail “Kick the Bitch to the Curb” (Cuervo gold, Cointreau, Chambord, sour mix, lime juice), among others. Shot options include the “Buttery Titty Twister” (butterscotch schnapps, Bailey’s, Southern Comfort) and the “Hot Chata” (Fireball, Rumchata).
