10Best Says

Tucked behind La Trattoria restaurant, Virgilio's (named after the founder of the restaurant) is an elegant indoor/outdoor cocktail bar popular with the swanky over 30 crowd. Instead of a daily happy hour, they created Martini Mondays. From 7pm-close, all of their perfectly mixed martinis are just $5, and you can't go wrong with yummy flavors like mint chocolate chip and key lime pie. If you have trouble choosing from their extensive selection, the bartenders can help you find the right drink to fit your mood. Kick back either on the outside patio or at the second bar under the roof. Every night people hit the dance floor for live music, usually jazz, blues or Latin. If you're feeling peckish, you can order Italian fare from a limited menu by La Trattoria.
