About Aquaplex

Aquaplex is a drag dinner theater on East Oakland Park Boulevard, opened in 2024 in the space that was Lips Fort Lauderdale. The format pairs nightly Vegas-style drag revues with full sit-down dinner service, performed by a resident cast known as the Aquanettes. The showroom is 21-plus and leans celebration-friendly, with birthdays, bachelorette parties, and groups making up a lot of the room. Programming rotates through the week: celebrity-impersonation nights, themed revues, and a weekend drag brunch are the recurring anchors. It's a different night out from the Wilton Manors bar crawl a few minutes north, a seated and hosted show rather than a dance floor, and a reliable pick when you want dinner and a performance in one stop. Booking ahead is wise, especially on weekends.
