LUSH Lounge & Theater

📍 Gay bars in Minneapolis

6.3

Lush offers a lively atmosphere with engaging events like bingo and drag performances, making it a popular spot for both nightlife and brunches. The establishment is praised for its affordable pricing and generous offerings, such as bottomless mimosas. The food is considered decent for the price, and the overall experience is enhanced by the energetic performances.

While the venue is visually appealing and the drinks are strong, the service can be inconsistent. Staff may be slow to attend to tables, and interactions can sometimes feel lackluster. Despite these minor drawbacks, Lush remains a fun and entertaining destination for those seeking a unique and lively experience.

I absolutely love Lush. I have been here for both night life and their brunches - but most recently was at one of their brunches. The queens always make them so much fun!! The food is 100% the price you pay (which is cheap) but it's not bad food. And the mimosas were definitely bottomless.

We were going for my early birthday celebration, to play bingo. That got accomplished. My group of six hospitality workers sat at a table, for almost twenty minutes, and were greeted by a very softly spoken man who sold us or bingo cards. That was it. Despite seeing people running food, wiping menus, multiple bartenders, cocktail server and a bar back nobody came to our table and it was not because they were busy. Interesting. Going to the bar to procure our own beverages, get menus and any form of service we thoroughly enjoyed the bingo games and the drag performer. In the middle of the night a food runner was asked if they could, possibly, get something small, like an extra ketchup. Their response provided the needed entertainment for the rest of the evening, when they explained to us with slumping shoulders, head leaned off to the side and an air of clinical depression that, "Yeah, that's not my jam." and shlupped away. It's a beautiful establishment, bingo was fun, drinks were strong but....from a table of six people who are in the industry, me personally for thirty years, and I apologize but, the service at this establishment..."..is not my jam", when it's rather evident that any money from our pockets to their tills, and tips, were nothing but an inconvenience that needed to be, only ever so slightly, tolerated. Thank you for letting me prattle on.

We came for a brag brunch during my friends Bachelorette weekend. They accommodated a larger group well, everything started on time and went very smoothly. The drinks we're delicious and those sweet biscuits are a chefs kiss 💋 the owner seems extremely sweet, and the place is so acletic and fun! I love the decorations and the vibe of the place! Would definitely return in the future.

Came here for the witch brunch! And had such a great time! Luna Muse was the hostess & she did amazing! Super talented & extremely entertaining! My partner and I were visiting from Chicago, & were so thrilled to spend Sunday Funday here! All the rest of the queens were also amazing! Anyone would love to come to any of their shows ^_^ I enjoyed the food as well 😇🫶🏼✨

Wonderful atmosphere. So much fun. It took a bit for us to get served. But it was in the middle of the awesome drag brunch getting out. One of the wonderful owners Jason saw this and made sure we got taken care of we had the absolutely delicious breakfast sandwiches and Bloody Mary, and bottomless mimosas. U can't go wrong with anything at this place. I'll be back

Absolutely loved my first brunch ever! Bottomless mimosas, food a little to sweet for me, show super fun and don’t forget to bring singles for tipping. It’s 100% worth it. The staff super friendly, the owner is a super attentive woman. I will definitely come back.
