The Virgil has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 based on over 542 reviews on Google
A great dive bar/club with awesome music—I highly recommend it for a celebration or just a fun Friday night dance spot. The night we went, they had two rooms: one with a Daft Punk tribute featuring two DJs actually dressed like Daft Punk, spinning their music for a solid two hours. The other room had a Strokes tribute, so the DJ was playing early 2000s alternative rock—super fun and totally danceable. It’s located in East Hollywood, right in the heart of hipster territory, so no need to get too dressed up. The crowd is chill, and the vibe is very relaxed. Drinks weren’t too expensive and were definitely strong—so tread lightly! Overall, such a fun night. I’ll absolutely be back.
Place has very good live performances with DJs danced all 🌙 night! Free water aside of best 🍸 barrista. Im sure i burned 3k calories lol. Well small venue but pretty 😁 fun
First timer last Saturday for a dual DJ theme night and was everything I hoped it would be. Didnt take long to realize I was not in Kansas (i.e. OC) anymore and that was exactly what I was looking for. All OC bars have become clones of each other all with bad Djs playing the same old rap songs you've heard a million times along with idiot F boys with bad hair cuts and rediculous neck chains. anyway, back to the Virgile. The size of the venue was perfect, not too big, not too small. The atmoshere was phanominal. Dark but with perfect lighting to make it cozy. Felt like I was in a 3D movie. Well organized by blocking space in front of the bar so you didn't have to fight through a sea of D bags to get a drink (like in OC). Crowd was definitely mixed but everyone was respectful and you felt free to be yourself. Already looking at the event calendar for my next visit. Will be back for sure. Note: The outside looks like an abandoned building and the area is sketch, but nice sketch for Hollywood area. There are 2 rooms, one larger than the other but I preferred the smaller room for the cool bar area.
Came here to see Block Scholars perform, and was surprised by a whole Hip Hop show properly promoted with merch booths, good sound quality, a full bar, and dance hall on the other side. Cool venue, professional doorman, and nice bathroom that were clean and nicely designed.
Bartender Armando was awesome and gave us excellent service. Drinks were delicious. The dj also had such an amazing vibe, and it was a fun Friday night dancing. It was my first time at this location, and I definitely will be back. But maybe I'll take a Lyft because finding parking took about 20 minutes.
**5-Star Night at The Virgil** My visit to The Virgil last Friday, in LA, was nothing short of amazing, especially because I was there to support my friend’s band, LADDERS AND ANWOY. The vibe was exactly what I needed – lively, energizing, and full of good energy. Watching LADDERS AND ANWOY take the stage, along with other talented performers, really showcased the diverse talent pool at this venue. Their sheer talent and passion were what truly stood out. I enjoyed a drink that was perfectly strong, complementing the whole experience beautifully. But it was more than just the music and the drinks; it was about being there with friends, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere and making unforgettable memories. Can’t wait to go back. If you’re in search of a place with incredible music and a warm, welcoming vibe, The Virgil is the spot. Totally deserves all five stars for making my well-deserved night out amazing. 🎤🍹💃🏻
We stopped by The Virgil the other week and had a really solid timegreat atmosphere and solid drinks all around.
