My first time there and it was great! The drinks were good, the staff were quick & really nice. I really appreciated on how clean the bathrooms were . We came for a show it is so much fun! Definitely marking my way back here again. read more

If you are considering booking at this venue for an event I might recommend somewhere else especially for a large event. They had over 300 people crammed in a small bar and when I asked for water the bartender said it's only free earlier in the night. I told her that was not legal and she did give me water but still. Packing in a bunch of people with no water is crazyyyyy. read more

Great spot when you're looking to experience live music however drinks are pricey and parking is a huge pain to find and the area is not that great. read more

I know it's LA but $37 for 2 drinks for a place that is not a night club is insaneeee lol

I've come out for comedy and stayed for the dranks, never a bad decision! This spot is just the right amount of approachable and chill but still comfortable and nice. Staff has always been cool too. What's not to love? read more

Had a great time at One Direction night. Staff was friendly and helpful especially the girl at the front. I had trouble accessing my ticket and my email. She let me in when I showed her the proof of purchase. read more

First time here, Service was fine, drinks are very overpriced, not a fan of the area parking on street, was just not to safe walking to my car. read more

Worst Venue I have ever been to. If you have an early event here be careful they just trying to use you as a cash grab.

Went for a New Year's Eve party. Tickets were around $35 per person. Over all it was a good vibe. They had 2 rooms for dancing and a lot of fun was had. Seemed to be all ages from 21, to an older crowd 55+, which was nice to see all ages come together and have fun. The drinks are very WEAK. And for the price you'd expect more. With that being said, probably best to pre game if you plan to drink or stick to the canned beverages they can't water down. Also parking sucks! Come early to try and get a street spot or uber if you can. read more

The ambiance was great. Drinks were reasonable prices and the bartenders were all professional and very attentive. And The music they played that night was amazing. It was "The Killers" night and it did not disappoint! read more

I've been here three times now. They water their drinks down. If you're going to change cocktails prices, please serve actual cocktails. I will not be coming back here. read more

Ambiance was chill. Drinks were delicious, I'd come again. Service was pretty fast as well

Don't waste your time nor your money at this place. Booking was horrible, disrespectful to artists and cut the show early. Overpriced, horrible owner and in a bad location read more

Ticket to see the act? $12. A single 805 draft beer after tips? $20. Just absurd. Priceless service though

Good vibe. Stage area is small, so get there early (ppl were just dancing where they were hanging out at). There is absolutely zero parking anywhere around this place. We had to park almost a mile away in the neighborhood past Hoover Street. Drinks were a little weak. read more

This place isn't too far from home, but I don't make my way here. I came for a private event. Since the business was closed a guest list was needed. There was a DJ, freshly popped popcorn and our very own bartender for the evening. The drinks were decent, but I really appreciate the variety of alcohol options here. There is ample street parking, but do read the parking signs and feed the meter if need be. read more

The room where comedy shows are held in is intimate (aka tiny). The bar literally takes up 1/3 of the room, the stage is like the size of an apartment kitchen, there is one wall of booth seating and the remainder of the room is sparse seating and standing room. If you don't want to stand for two hours, get in line EARLY and claim your seats. Otherwise, love the venue. I came here to see The Super Serious Show and had a great time! The music was great, the comedians were really entertaining and even though they don't serve food here, there is an tasty taco truck right outside and you can bring food into the venue. Definitely would love to come back. read more

This place is a fugazi! lol no but seriously. Don't get conned into any of their ticketed events. They are crap. Just went to a daft punk themed night last night on Saturday 09/21/2024 and it was a rip off! The djs just dressed as daft punk and hardly even played daft punk??? Like excuse me???? Instead it was repetitive techno with wierd sound effects and it was so wack omg . The drinks are watered down and expensive. And the people and vibes are questionable just skip this wierd spot. read more

The venue was split in two. One side has a stage and the other is regular. The drinks did not take like alcohol, even the shots. All drinks were had to have watered down alcohol. Drinks are expensive. read more

Went to an immersive play here. It was fun and the Virgil seemed like a cool place. Not dicey, but not too cool for school either. I liked it. read more

Overpriced NA and prices from the flyer change at the door because, "they must have changed it" Staff not aware of who's playing and what time anything is. Nah read more

We were greeted by Richie at the door, being a first timer at this bar I was blown away at how nice the team here were. We're here to celebrate my friends cousins birthday. The music, staff and drinks were great. The service was nice and the mood very chilled. Really happy we stumbled upon The Virgil for Jen's birthday! Great local bar/club for a hangout to celebrate special occasions or just hangout. Be sure to visit this business! read more

I visited The Virgil for the first time on a Thursday night for a Bad Bunny event. The cover was about $13 online after 11pm. The atmosphere was very casual and the music was great with a mix of cumbias and reggeaton. Cocktail prices are decent for a night venue at about $18 for two cocktails, but you get exactly what you pay for. Overall I had a great time. read more

This place is always so fun! Our bartender last time was an older, latino man who was SO helpful and kind and dealt with the nonstop crowd immediately. I don't remember his name but if he serves you remember to tip well. music here is so great and there's really an event for everyone. When we went we got some cute Polaroids at their photo booth, always good to have a photo shoot option. read more

Excellent space and stars for hosting alternative acts. $13 beer and $17.50 drinks at 7pm on a Tuesday is out of control, especially after a cover I'll look elsewhere. read more

Lit. This place is always lit. Was that too millennial to say? This place is always popping and grooving. It's slow to start, pace picks up at around 11:00 pm, and someone brave enough have to initiate the dance on the floor and it becomes a cascade of dancing and fun. Cocktails are $10 typically, unless you have a boujee mix. I wouldn't go for typical cocktails though, like an old-fashioned or a daiquiri. It's a bar who's main intention is to get people drunk, so there isn't much love in their mixology. If anything, just go for two-part mixes, like a rum-coke, vodka-sprite, gin-tonic kind of deal. They put especially generous amount of spirit. So yes, it's worth. Overall vibe is pretty hip-hop oriented. There are two rooms with two different set of dj's with varying soundtracks. The outside one is more chill, relaxed, and house-vibe sounding. The inside one is hip-hop, beat type of music. So I would say pre-game outside, dance inside, and then chill on the sofas by the side after. Overall a cool club that's somewhat underrated. It never gets lines so it's easy to enter. read more

Terrible advertising they put on a show with free rsvp entry before 11 and then said it was only the first 20 people and there was nothing on the fine print. They are nothing but crooks. Selling a half empty venue shame on them.steer clear of this bar read more

Give me my Pisco and no one gets hurt! Located at the outskirt of Silver Lake where Santa Monica and Virgil intersect is The Virgil. Decorated with stark simplicity on the outside, it is easy to think that there's not much excitement going on at this place...WRONG. The Virgil is chill, relaxed, sexy and almost nonconforming. In a sea of lounges and bars that drowns the atmosphere with loud music and bass, it is a nice change of pace and a relaxed way to enjoy the evening with an ambient sound coming from an old school Juke box. The place is divided into two sections, The smaller lounge area is open most nights, The larger section is open on special evenings, it has a nifty little stage where a live band performs to delight and entertain the patrons, call it your living amuse-bouche a little taste of them goes a long way, a true hors d'œuvre for your listening pleasure. Please check their online calendar to see schedule of upcoming performances, both sections have their own cocktail bar armed with capable bartenders... The Virgil's bartenders are very good, each has their own unique style and take on a certain drink. The Pisco Punch which I have truly enjoyed (my personal fave) has been prepared and served a many times during my visits. Kenny, Aaron & Esther (different nights) served me their take on the drink and each delivered a slightly different tone, flavor & punch, all drinks has the same essence and base flavor but sadly boys Esther has the magic touch- all your drinks were good but hers was exceptional, this is my favorite drink amongst the many in your cocktail list. If you are contemplating to visit The Virgil, I highly suggest going on a Tuesday night, cocktails are $6 all night happy hour! Regular days are cool too, whether you come by yourself for a night cap or with a group, The Virgil can and will surely help you have a fantastic night. à votre santé read more

All the reviews about exorbitantly priced drinks are true here. They use incredibly cheap alcohol and the mixed drink cups are microscopic in size and basically all ice. The actual bar itself is fine, but would not come back based on how crazy expensive the drinks are here and the fact that they're basically trying to rip you off. If you do come here for one of their events make sure you pregame at home and drink all your alcohol there so you don't lose an arm & a leg here. read more

Pretty cool, divey kind of bar. My friend had suggested this place for drinks. Street parking is pretty easy. Neighborhood is slightly sketch. The best thing about this place is that happy hour goes from 7-9PM, which is usually unheard of! The bartender was super cool and did a good job on drinks. I had the Hothouse cooldown which is Vodka, Cucumber, Lime and was really refreshing. Then I just got a Happy Hour white wine. Generous pours! There's another room where they do events like comedy, but I didn't go into that room. We had drinks and then went outside and got some food from the Mexican food truck. Overall a cool spot! read more

New owners kicked out all the cool comedy shows they used to have every weekday, instituted a cover, got rid of happy hour, jacked up the prices of the drinks, and went all-in on dance music. What used to be a gem where you could see some of the most amazing comedy happening in L.A. for a fair price with good drinks has become just another dive bar trying hard to be the next "cool" spot where USC trust fund kids swipe Daddy's credit card without paying attention to the total amount charged. What a fall from grace. Good luck for however long you last before you're sold again or close down for good. Sad to see a place that held so many good memories turn into nothing special. RIP The Virgil. read more

Thursday night after 1030pm is $5 at the door for funk disco night, its pretty empty til then. Street parking free after 8pm. Awesome large venue with dance floor area, and lounge bar area, two dj locations. Great place for birthday parties since tables are pretty much free for a big group. Just a tab of $100 needs to be made for the night with the hostess, which is way too easy just individuals on a weekend night. Taqueria El Huracan (taco truck) is next to it. If ever been to Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood area, this place reminds me of The Virgil. read more

It was $10 just for admission (fine whatever) but then a very small blue moon draft was $13?! In what world does that make sense?

I found The Virgil to be a pretty unwelcoming experience. For starters, I do not live nearby, and have tried calling the Virgil every day for the past week to retrieve a car key that I believe I left inside their facility. Despite leaving a voicemail, they have not once answered their phone or called me back. Very poor customer service, and definitely a disappointment. I'm very thankful I have a spare or I would have been screwed, so thanks to the Virgil staff for that. As to my experience within The Virgil, I'm going to echo the previous Yelper's review and say that The Virgil is a very predatory environment. I felt like men were grabbing women left and right, and just kind of had free reign of the place. I felt incredibly uncomfortable, and sometimes had to quite assertively (with the help of male friends) tell men to f*** off not once, not twice, but multiple times. While this isn't strictly the fault of the club, that's what bouncers are supposed to be for. I felt pretty uncomfortable here, and definitely don't appreciate a groping, aggressive environment. That being said, the music and drinks were good. Just the environment and staff indifference to my lost item really left a horrible taste in my mouth read more

Its a cool little spot. But the beers are way over priced. $12 for a 12oz beer or $7 for a 12oz PBR??!

I'm not someone to leave a bad review, but with the way this whole situation transpired I couldn't not express my dissatisfaction with the abysmal service of the staff (specifically the manager) of this facility. I came with a bookbag after work. After my bag was checked, I was told I actually couldn't bring the bag inside... that I would have to leave it outside with the doorman. I wasn't comfortable with this, so I decided I wouldn't stay. Moments later, I noticed the doorman let someone else in with a bag which was admittedly slightly smaller than mine. When I pointed this out, they told me the person was a part of one of the performer's team, which is why they were allowed in with their bag. I told the door attendant and the venue manager that I was dissatisfied with the service and would leave a "shitty review". My voice was not raised... There was most likely annoyance in my tone, but outside of the word "shitty", I did nothing to merit the manager raising his voice, cutting me off, and telling me how I should be "nicer". Essentially resorting to a temper tantrum befitting a child instead of making any effort to address my concern. I don't think the issue was the swear word I used or my tone... It seemed like the manager was lashing out at the fact that I would even insinuate that I was going to leave a bad review... That stating I would leave a bad review was "not nice." it was clear that my attempt to express my dissatisfaction was falling on deaf ears, as the manager doubled-down and made the experience even more offputting and strange. Bummed I spent $30 on my ticket and couldn't get in! I won't be returning to this venue and will make sure all my friends who are performing artists know about this experience when considering the local venues. The issue isn't that I couldn't get in... But rather that the manager seemed more invested in getting into an argument with me, rather than addressing my concern, or explaining their policy around bags. read more

would not come back lol. trust the reviews! paid a $30 (THIRTY DOLLARS) cover to see a showcase of artists. while the artists were great, the sound and DJ were really rough. i really hope the cover was to pay the artists otherwise it was a complete rip off. DJ kept playing music that was wayyyy louder than performers in between sets, playing super off putting songs and blasting odd sound affects/ using crazy strobe lights (beware if you have light sensitivity!) too bad because the room is pretty cool. but they really shouldn't charge such a high cover for a monday night showcase of indie artists. and maybe get regular sized cups instead of mini ones. read more

I am in love with this place! This cute little club/bar is a hidden gem! It's on the corner of Virgil and Santa Monica! They have two rooms for dancing and one room to chill! The larger room has hip hop, reggae, reggae ton and pop music! The smaller dance room plays all kinds of dance music, however it's mostly underground chill music! The best part is 1one certain DJ comes by he plays Cumbia, reggae and Soca! The cocktails are handcrafted to perfection! This place is a great place for dancing or just to chill! read more

I love the variety of entertainment here, but the drink prices have gotten out of hand. With tip, it comes down to $20 a drink in a tiny plastic cup. Nothing special, no craft coctktails...and apparently anything with ginger beer is an extra $2. Come on. Still love this place but spent $120 on weak drinks and feel barely buzzed by the end of the night read more

Terrible terrible music. The drinks taste like water. Definitely not my scene and will not be returning
