Haute classic cocktails in a 1920s-style saloon
"This is one of those essential no-fuss neighborhood bars with nightly entertainment (comedy nights, whiskey Wednesdays, underground DJs) that keeps you coming back for more. The crowd is mainly Eastsiders out looking for a good time, whether that means tucking into a booth for a cocktail and some gossip or cutting loose on the dance floor, without having to worry about a dress code. There's a solid list of house cocktails, as well as a great selection of whiskey." - Celeste Moure
"You have drunks on one side, then you have drunks telling jokes on the other. The Virgil hosts comedy nights, DJ's, and random events on the "A" side of the bar (Kristen Schaal, Demetri Martin, and Aziz Ansari to name a few) which are usually worth checking out. "B" side serves well crafted drinks in a very relaxed environment. It never get's insanely packed, being one of the reasons I love it. This is a place to really start or wind down your night." - Cris Cimatu
"A Virgil Village bar where a high-profile celebrity appearance was recently reported; the visit was allegedly for a private party rather than a public engagement." - Matthew Kang
"The Virgil is a dive bar in East Hollywood with two different dance floors—one in the front, and one through a door in the back. And you should be heading straight to the back bar, where you’ll find a dark, massive dance floor with a DJ playing pop tracks from the last 30 years. The drinks are expensive, but that generally comes with the territory of being in a dance-y bar on the Eastside—just take a shot or two of tequila before you hop in your Lyft, and you’ll be set for the night." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
"One of the best disaster bars in the city, The Virgil has two excellent dancefloors full of people taking shots of whatever’s cheapest. But skip the front one and head straight to the dark, grungy, and very sweaty dancefloor in the back, where you’ll find a DJ playing pop tracks from the last 30 years. You’ll walk out feeling sticky in every single way, but you really couldn’t give less of a f*ck about it." - brett keating
