Dancing · Cocktail Lounge · El Paso, TX
About
Spacious bar with strong drinks that took over the former Lips spot. Drag shows and male/female dancers happen on specific nights, with pool and darts to play between sets. The vibe is relaxed but can get lively when the dance floor fills up.
It's casual and mixed, drawing both locals and their straight friends. Outdoor seating is available, and the full bar keeps things flowing. Hours run late most nights, so it's a solid after-work or late-night stop.
Located in Downtown El Paso, near the former Lips location.

“90% straight”
While this bar caters to straight people, it's welcoming to gay patrons. It can be enjoyable for locals who have straight friends.

“CLOSED, reopened as EPIC IN SAME LOCATION. STILL LGBT.”
Lips has shut down, but in the same spot next to Briar Patch, there's now EPIC. It's a lively place with great dance music, drag performances, and male/female dancers on certain nights. Check out EPIC El Paso on Facebook for details.
