Every Tuesday at The Virgil is all night happy hour starting at 7:00 p.m. Drink specials include $6 craft cocktails, $5 beer and $5 wine. The Virgil has two bar areas, the main bar and the b side. Both areas are spacious enough that you won't feel cramped whether you're standing around talking or breaking it down on the dance floor. This Tuesday, patrons at The Virgil are in for a special treat as sketch comedy group, Warp Zone, will be performing live during all night happy hour.
