The Virgil

If you’re looking for the perfect mix of divey neighborhood bar and dancey nightclub, you’ve found the place. This approachable watering hole along the East Hollywood/Silver Lake border is a staple thanks to its regular DJ performances with fun crowds. Don’t let the prohibition-era décor fool you. This place is a party every day of the week. Literally–they’re open every day. The entrance has more of a chill vibe for conversation while the main room has a stage and dancefloor. Catch one of their rotating dance nights, comedy shows, or live music performances and you won’t regret it. If you have a bad night at The Virgil, I’m sorry to say, but it might be you.

The Virgil Details:

🍔 Food:
No food here, but Garage Pizza is open late and just a short walk away on Sunset.

🍸 Drinks:
This spot is pretty divey so you won’t find craft cocktails. They’ll do basic well drinks, beer, and surprisingly, bottle service. Drinks are pretty expensive ($12-14 minimum for beers) so don’t expect dive bar prices unfortunately.

🎶 Music:
Possibly the best part of The Virgil is their music selection. A variety of DJs get the crowd going and up-and-coming bands also stop by to play live. DJ genres range from disco to hip hop to reggaeton (basically anything you can dance to).

✨Ambiance:
The 1920s décor gives ideal neighborhood bar vibes. Dim, red lighting, vintage wallpaper and cozy seating nooks make you think you’ve ducked into the saloon of a movie set. Walking into the stage room is an opposite and equally inviting feeling. There’s a spacious dancefloor with flashing lights and seating along the walls. Patrons come with a down-to-earth energy that’ll have you mixing, mingling, and dancing all night.

📸 Photo Ops:
No one place in particular, but there’s plenty of photo shoot potential in their sitting nooks if you manage to snag one.
