The show was over 15 minutes late to start. While everything else was good, that was a big disappointment.

Rick is top notch service industry person. So impressed with the service, accommodation, a the heart/ caring was there in a way that is not usual.

I have never been in a bar that felt so safe. Staff were friendly and attentive, the bartenders made phenomenal drinks, and the bathroom was clean and well maintained. As some of the younger people at the bar, we felt like staff were also looking out for us to make sure we were safe. This was also the first gay bar I've ever been to. It sets the standard high!

The food is not very good. Service is OK... hit or miss!! The ambiance is strange. Just doesn't feel right. There are so many better spots in the area....

Whether you are here for a daytime event or a night out, LUSH is the place to be! Their playlists are always exquisite, the shows are fantastic and they have a lot of events to foster community.
Even on busy nights, my friends & I have always been able to snag a table.

It was Tara’s first day and they did exceptionally well. Very friendly, polite and cute as button! Our food came super fast and everything tasted delicious. 4 stars for atmosphere only because it was freezing inside but I understand they do that for staff. We will be back!

Yikes. The remodel is amazing and the vibe is there but came on a Sunday for Bruch and we got here at 11:30, ordered at 11:45, it’s 1:09 and we unfortunately still do not have our food. A bit disappointed in the time it takes to get some food here. Management should absolutely be aware of this.

I have been going to lush for years and the drag shows are fantastic! However, since they lost a relationship with Betty and Earl’s, the food has been disgusting. I was at brunch a couple of weeks ago and I got the breakfast plate. There was barely any eggs and they were cold, and the hashbrowns were hard as rocks Then I was there today and because they have a $20 minimum per person we had to order food the breakfast tacos were OK but the hash brown I was able to bang on the plate again. The mini donuts were over fried. No flavor. I don’t think it’s fair that lush expects us to spend money on food that is below standard when we are already paying for a ticket for the show and we tip our queens. Also, I am not able to eat a lot of food due to my medical condition and it’s like they force you to order stuff. They even made me order something to go which thankfully I was able to convert to a Mocktail.

The place is beautifully decorated and very artsy. Went with family for a Taylor Swift drag brunch. The food was great and good service. The show was the highlight of our trip. Tickets were needed to attend, which can be bought through their website.

How can I begin to explain just how fantastic our experience was when we held our Grooms’
x2 Dinner, at Lush in August 2024!

From the conception to the final night of the event exceeded our expectations.

The room was dressed in white, the sound professional had the right vibe going on. The room was large, clean, and comfortable! We had about 60 people attending and had plenty of room to spare. The room even had its own restrooms that accommodates those with mobility needs.

We had ordered food and it was amazing! From sliders to wings. Vegetables and cheese platter. We had ordered way too much and Lush was honest and informed us that our order was, as we do, extra!
lol

Even with an open bar and champagne toast the whole evening was very reasonable you get a lot of bang for your buck!!

Right after our Grooms Dinner many of our party stayed for the Ledgendary Drag Show! These performers were exceptional at their craft!! Watching my new Brother in Law grinning from ear to ear when the Twerkin’ began!!

High praise to Lush for being a beautiful start to our wonderful wedding weekend! And thank you for continuing celebrating our rainbow community. It was an honor to bring out families to such a wonderfully welcoming part of our community!

Love always
Jerry and Gary

Wheelchair accessibility: Very thoughtful in the planning!
