Sometimes, or all the time, you’re stuck with a group of friends who like to spend the evening bar hopping. They want to start the night out chugging cans of beer and dancing underneath a DJ, and then they want to drag the group to a dark lounge and wipe the sweat from their brows over a perfectly made pisco sour. That’s all fine and good, but man, don’t you just want to pick a spot and set up camp for the night and not worry about driving and parking and the rest of the hassles associated with herding a bunch of drunk buddies across town? Solution: The Virgil on the edge of Silver Lake.
On one side–Side A–you’ve got the stage, the DJ or band, the dance floor and beer. The place where your rowdier friends can cut loose. On the other side–Side B–is a dimly lit cocktail lounge where everyone can catch his or her breath and relax in comfy chairs and sip caipirinhas, pisco sours and punch, mojitos and daiquiris. No tromping around. Just from one side to the other, keeping everyone happy.
