VIRGIL’S SKI LODGE
Après Everything: We Brought the Lodge.
The Lodge is open at Virgil’s Times Square—your NYC spot for après vibes without the lift lines. Grab a booth, bring the crew, and settle in with the winter action on our TVs while the pit keeps things toasty. It’s the best of cozy‑meets‑smoky: shareable dips, big bowls, and plenty to sip between the cheers—available at Virgil’s Times Square only.
Warm up with BBQ Fondue (choose brisket, smoked chicken or hot piggies) with all the sides; follow with Smoked French Onion Soup; tear into a Giant Pretzel with Virgil’s Ale Beer Cheese; and finish strong with Chocolate Fondue and all the fixings. On the drinks side, rally the table with a Shot Ski (four shots, pick your flavor—The Podium, Oak & Ember, Ski Bunny, or Après All Day) or lean into the steam with Hot Chocolates in two styles: Mexican Spiced and S’Mores, and don't miss our Salted Caramel Bombardino.
