Great spot for a pint and meal in the heart of downtown.

Imperial has been around forever and is a neighbourhoods staple. Authentic pub vibes, especially upstairs in what they call the library, which is my favourite spot and also where the patio is located.

Drinks are reasonably priced, food is delicious, and service is accommodating.

Definitely my favourite spot in the area to grab a drink.

Highly recommend!

Went with a group of 8 friends. It’s important to come early if you have a larger group because spaces fill up FAST! The portion of food was large, though my food was a bit cold. They are a bit understaffed so ordering and wait times are a lot longer than usual. Though the vibes were nice and it’s a great place to have a good time!

Looking for a place to have a drink in new year’s eve just before midnight, we landed here. We were happily surprised there many tables available.
We had some wine, beer, and seltzers with an order of large fries (it was huge!).
So glad to see that the TVs in this bar had the Canadian new year’s countdown (instead of the boring NY apple drop).
A few minutes before midnight, they served some delicious bubbly to everyone.

I came here tonight visiting Toronto , Cameron is the best, served me up. I saw him putting lemon peels on a drink he prepared delicately for others. I asked why the peels he said just for extra vibes and flare. He put such detail into those two small drinks, with such a vibe as well. Keep him, people like him keep us coming back. I’ll be telling my folks back in NYC about this spot !

Good old-pub atmosphere.  Burger just ok.  Bun was twice as big as the patty.  They put a neat relish on it.  Place doesn't have bacon, which is a crime.  Slow service.
