VIRGIN LOUNGE JOINS CHICAGO'S ELITE NIGHTLIFE SCENE
Discover the secret passageway to Virgin Lounge, now open at 123 N. Halsted in Chicago. Located around the corner from sister restaurant, Extra Virgin, Virgin Lounge caters to the late night crowd, offering tempting small plates, caviar service, decadent desserts, bottle service, specialty cocktails and more. Dim lighting and plenty of large, cushy couches offer a great vantage point for people watching, as chill vibes thump through the sound system, creating a warm, clubby atmosphere that includes a large photographic mural of the bar's "resident virgin."

Virgin Lounge is open Wednesday through Friday from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. and Saturday from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. All major credit cards are accepted. For more information, call Virgin Lounge at 312-474-0123.
