"Imperiál’s late-night DJ is a celebratory close to a day in this city. Walk up the stairs to this loft bar, which is dance-friendly, with dim lighting and a disco ball, but not too divey. The bartenders work hard and fast on the bar’s plethora of cocktails. There are also Mexican and Argentinian natural wines. As the bartenders burn the orange oil for cocktails, they light palo santo and flare their fans, wafting smoke across the bar. It’s so Asheville, and it’s so fun." - Kayleigh Ruller
