"Went for the craft cocktails, left with informative knowledge of bourbon rye. Excellent service and expresso martinis. Shout out to our bartender Gatlin. Stop in a see him!"

"Highly Recommend Imperial! Imperial is a fantastic spot, especially for a chill night out like a Tuesday when many Asheville bars are closed. The two-story setup has a full bar on each floor, and the bartenders on both levels were excellent. They have a fun seasonal cocktail list and a unique food menu—we didn't eat, but would have ate everything on the menu. Our cocktails were all made perfectly. A special shout-out to Adam, the downstairs bartender! He was super fun, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the local area, giving us some great recommendations. If you want a fun, chill vibe to drink or eat in Asheville, add Imperial to your list!"

"Had been walking around Asheville for about an hour in 35 degree weather. Came in and sat down. Had some water. Bar tender wouldn't serve me because "your face is a little red", had not had one drink, so I just left. Won't be back. Also, there are many things that can cause a red face. Perhaps I have a medical condition? Or maybe I'd been walking around outside in the cold for an extended period of time and my cheeks were a little chapped? Perhaps both? Anyway, his face will be red after reading this."

"absolutely stellar cocktails and awesome vibe. so happy to stumble on this place and would definitely come back. you can tell the bartenders know what they're doing. the spitting devil was 10/10 and the perfect daiquiri is accurately named."

"Legitimate place to Have a Night of Fantastic Drinks, People & Music all in 1 Spot. Cozy seating, Outdoor access for smokers & the Music is on Point. If you have never been, it's a must in Avl"
