Nestled in the vibrant heart of Toronto, the Imperial Pub stands as a beloved landmark, offering a unique blend of traditional pub charm and modern flair. With its rich history dating back several decades, this establishment is not just a place to grab a drink; it’s a cultural hub where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy good food, refreshing drinks, and lively conversation. The pub features a cozy ground-floor bar, an inviting upstairs library lounge, and a rooftop patio that boasts stunning views of Dundas Square, making it an ideal spot for any occasion.

The Imperial Pub is renowned for its extensive menu that caters to all tastes. Start your culinary journey with their signature **Imperial Burger**, a juicy beef patty topped with a house-made relish that adds a delightful tang. Pair it with a side of their crispy, golden fries, which are perfect for sharing—or not. For those seeking something lighter, the **Crispy Chicken Salad** is a must-try, featuring fresh greens, succulent chicken, and a zesty dressing that elevates the dish to new heights. The pub also boasts a well-curated selection of local beers and classic cocktails, ensuring that every sip complements your meal.

One of the standout features of the Imperial Pub is its **upstairs library lounge**, a cozy nook filled with books and comfortable seating, perfect for intimate gatherings or a quiet drink away from the bustling bar below. The rooftop patio is another highlight, offering breathtaking views of Dundas Square, especially during sunset when the city lights begin to twinkle. This space is often filled with laughter and conversation, making it a vibrant spot to unwind after a long day.

The Imperial Pub is known for its authentic pub atmosphere, delicious food, and extensive drink selection, making it a favorite among locals and tourists alike.

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.
