"There are plenty of places to drink around the UCSB campus, and often for cheap. The Imperial operates slightly differently, marrying a decidedly non-college-bar aesthetic with well-made cocktails that still don’t break the bank. There’s a reason the tiki-ish place has been going strong for more than a decade." - Farley Elliott
