Went on a Saturday. The venue itself is fine. But the girls that go there are as stuck up as any Hollywood club (even though they don't dress very Hollywood). No one will dance with you. Always more guys than girls. Girls only dance with each other (which they can do at home, just like they can drink at home). I've never understood why people would go to a social gathering like a club, just to be antisocial with anyone they don't know. It doesn't matter how respectful or polite you are. They don't want to be bothered by you. That said, the djs are usually pretty good on the hip hop side. And I'm really rating my experience, not the prices of alcohol, which I imagine would be high at most clubs. But we all know that already. So, IMHO it'd be helpful to get more reviews that at least mention the vibe of the people that go to these places, since they can negatively impact the experience just as much as the rest of the venue. But, since it's not the venue's fault that a lot of people don't know how to interact and be cool with others, it feels fair to give this place 3 stars ( as in 'it's not bad, but I wouldn't recommend it to single friends looking for a very...
Read moreI’ve been here a few times with different groups of friends and each time the experience was pretty enjoyable. There are a few different rooms you can flow through to get different vibes and just enough space to dance if you feel like it. There is good booth seating along the perimeter as well to relax a little if that’s more your vibe.
The drinks here are pretty good as well. Not full on craft bar experience but def more options and more care put into drinks than say - a dive bar (although they have their place too! I work at one lol)
The only negative I’d have is that they are very slow with feedback or response time if they ever becomes a necessity. I have been attempting to get in contact with an employee there over the past 4 days though email, calls/voicemails, and even physically showing up during posted open hours only to find out they were closed.
It’s obviously on the patrons to ensure they don’t leave things behind, but it is also always appreciated when bars and places like that make an effort to check in on their listed methods of communication. It seems to me like there’s no one there whose tasked with that...
Read moreFirst 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...
