World Cup Energy.
Authentic Virgil's BBQ.
From Times Square to Las Vegas, catch every match with authentic American BBQ, group-friendly seating, and the high-energy atmosphere that has made Virgil’s a favorite for big moments.
Why the Pit Beats the Pub
Virgil’s offers something many game-day alternatives do not: real barbecue, real seating, and real room for groups. With slow-smoked meats, shareable platters, reservations, and private or semi-private dining at select locations, Virgil’s is built for fans who want more than a bar stool and a crowded room.
Times Square, NYC
Big-match energy, group dining, Midtown convenience
Just steps from major Midtown transit, Virgil’s Times Square is the flagship choice for fans who want a full World Cup match-day dining experience. The location offers reservations, walk-ins, indoor and outdoor dining, and flexible private and semi-private event space for groups of many sizes. For fans gathering before a match, meeting up after the final whistle, or planning a larger group outing, this location combines convenience, scale, and the kind of authentic American BBQ that turns the meal into part of the event.
Las Vegas, NV
Strip energy, large groups, private events, patios
At The LINQ Promenade, Virgil’s Las Vegas has the clearest event-friendly positioning outside New York. The official site says walk-ins are welcome, reservations are recommended, and the location offers private dining and banquet rooms. The Las Vegas private events page also gives strong capacity proof, including two outdoor patios, a second-level private room with built-in bar, and inside space that can host another 300 guests, with full restaurant events up to 500 seated / 600 reception.
International Visitors Welcome
Traveling to the United States for the 2026 FIFA World Cup? Virgil’s BBQ offers more than a place to catch the tournament atmosphere. It is also a chance to enjoy a classic American BBQ experience as part of your trip, whether you are heading to a match, exploring the city, or planning a meal with friends and family. For many international travelers, barbecue is one of those iconic American foods you want to try at least once, and Virgil’s makes that experience easy, approachable, and group-friendly.
On match days, Virgil’s gives fans a comfortable place to gather over shareable food and a high-energy atmosphere. On non-game days, it is just as easy to make Virgil’s part of your travel plans, whether that means lunch during a day in Times Square, dinner after sightseeing, or a group meal while exploring the Las Vegas Strip. Wherever you visit, Virgil’s brings together authentic American barbecue, generous portions, and a lively setting that fits both the excitement of the tournament and the broader experience of traveling in the U.S.
