Imaginative cocktails, chic decor, and creative dishes with live music
























"Sexy and bold, the Commons Club bar at the base of the Virgin Dallas hotel is 100% swank. Try the Perfect Pair, a clever version of Manhattan made with Hennessy VS Cognac & spiced pear, or something from the extensive wine list. And the Uncommon Burger is a perfect pairing with absolutely any of its spirits." - Rachel Pinn

"The hotel’s first-floor restaurant originally hosted the drag brunch but proved ill-suited for theatrical shows: its layout caused performers to disappear from attendees’ sightlines, and a corner of floor-to-ceiling windows made performances fully visible from the street, creating legal and safety concerns. Management concluded the dining room lacked adequate stage, sound, and sightline infrastructure for a production-style brunch, prompting the relocation." - Courtney E. Smith

"Also debuting this summer was Commons Club at Virgin Hotels New Orleans, with chef Alex Harrell at the helm." - Clair Lorell

"The ultra-chic Virgin Hotel is home to Commons Club, a swanky lounge-meets-supper club, with a marble-topped bar that quickly became one of Dallas’s best spots to see and be seen when it opened in 2019. Snag a red leather barstool for yourself and try the Watermelon Sugar, a blend of Grey Goose Essences Watermelon & Basil, melon liqueur, absinthe, watermelon, simple syrup, and lemon. If that doesn’t appeal, transport yourself with the Sakuratini, made with Grey Goose Essences Strawberry & Lemongrass, a bitter, dragonfruit, and jasmine essence — the result is a pleasant, floral cocktail that will almost certainly make you want to order another. Don’t skip on the bar snacks either — the boujee tots, in particular, are a cheeky take on the childhood favorite, topped with crème fraîche and smoked trout roe." - Vox Creative


"I expect the Commons Club to serve as the resort's social hub with a 24-hour Kitchen at Commons featuring fare that reflects Virgin’s British roots, carafe cocktails, beer flights, wines by the glass, and a Bar at Commons Club offering cocktails and live entertainment." - Susan Stapleton
