Imperial

I went there with a guy that actually works their and they wanted $1000 for a bottle of tequila. Super overpriced I don't even pay that in NYC. Don't waste your time. Service was slow and horrible. Music was unclear so they need to fix that sound. Never again.

If I could give this place a negative review I would. I came here with friends for a birthday party. We purchased a section. I am very confident the bottles ordered were tampered with. Alcohol that should have a strong brown tint was clearly watered down with something. I was super sick and had the worst night of my life after drinking at this place.

Let's be honest, your located uptown Charlotte, your already going to make money. Why are you charging at the door and then charging another price just to go to another area which is the same area style as the first area. Stop overcharging customers to walk around the establishment not to mention have them wait to get in for over 45 minutes when there's nobody inside. The DJ was dope though kudos to him. And the hookah girls are great. But just stop it already.

Ladies, I recommend you not going by yourself. The security here is very abusive when it comes to women for some reason this is not the first incident of security beating in women, but in this case recently, a A woman was thrown against a brick wall and is now suffering from a concussion. And also previously, I’ve seen a security guard pick up lady up and slam her on the head. Keep in mind that the police will be no help per usual. They will just take you and not the security guard so I recommend not going here. The business needs to do better with their security seriously.

10/10 rooftop vibes for the city but definitely be prepared to spend a little coin no more than $50-100 per person in your group . Hookah isn’t the best but the dj and rooftop energy makes you forget the hookah isn’t the best lol .

Nice little restaurant! Delicious food, generous portions, and super friendly staff! The place is clean and cozy, perfect for a casual dinner.

It's a great spot location for a fun night out. Great dj, good music (from 90/00s up) drinks were overpriced for small plastic cups like most spots... but the kicker was the acceptance of weed smoking throughout the night. Honestly, it was entirely too much. Security allows it, so I didn't bother with saying anything. Folks didn't mind, and I didn't complain, but maybe having folks smoke outside would be better. [Not everyone smokes weed or wants to be around it - the hookah is already a lot.] It eventually became too much, and we ended up leaving... we were trying to celebrate a birthday. As for the atmosphere, the vibes are good. Great spot if you like to just unwind and chill, smoke something... the dj honestly was the absolute best... we went on a Sunday night. I'm curious if other nights are more relaxed without smoking as it would be a great spot to get out and enjoy. I wouldn't mind returning another night just to see. The bartenders and bottle girls had good energy, too. I loved that the game was playing on the huge wall screen and all the tvs- made for an added plus to the venue. If you're visiting Charlotte and want to enjoy uptown without all the extra requirements for entry, this is a good spot. It was also free to enter - which was cool, unsure cost on other nights. Most folks were dressed down street clothes, so I don't think they have a dress code like other venues. Another option is to just get better ventilation, and then smoking won't be so aggressive to non-smokers. All in all, it was a great final stop to our Bday bar/venue crawl, and I'm not disappointed with the adventure! I chose 4 stars solely bc of the ventilation/smoke.

This is an absolutely terrible environment. From the front desk to the security guards in the back, they are consumed by a lack of professionalism and bad attitudes. It’s quite honestly sad. With such a beautiful location, it’s a shame the staff have tainted their reputation.

It was a good vibe. The DJ was very entertaining and played good music. The service was good. The bartenders made decent drinks. Did not get a chance to taste the food unfortunately. But it was an overall a good time.

I would've gave it 5 stars but I had a rude server who got mad because in her words I gave her exact change. I attended a party Sunday night and did 3 bottles each bottle was almost $400 each which included tax and gratuity. Even after paying this this rude disrespectful server turned her back on me and didn't want to serve me when I wanted to order another bottle because she claimed I didn't tip her even tho it was already included in the price. Besides that I had a good time, please train your rude disrespectful server I promise she will lose you business in the future. The other server had to come apologize for her and take care of me. I attached a picture of her

I liked the vibe and rooftop access. Bar service was great and my drink was perfect! It was definitely a quick trip since I was on my way to the Festival but would definitely stop back again when I'm in town. Security at the front made it a lot of fun too, I enjoyed talking with them and they made me laugh a lot.

Imperial is a great vibe. I love the music and the people's the bartenders are super friendly. Although I wasn't drinking my friends got 6 shots for $80. The cover before 11pm is $10. Seems like it may be the most lively on Saturdays. Overall I had an amazing experience and would 10000% come back. Also the rooftop is heated. They also have blankets to use in sections!

Terrible. Drinks are incredibly overpriced. Bartender charged me for premium vodka even though we ASKED for non top shelf liquor. 3 drinks were $80 !!! Small space as well so we had to wait a minimum 45 minutes in line for each drink. Never coming back here. Bouncers were also very rude

Although I've been here many times with no issues the treatment my friends received today was not up to par. We were informed that we could purchase a hookah but upon the hookah being ready the bar tender refused to service us and proceeded to argue with my friends for no apparent reason. We also had issues and waited for 45 minutes before receiving a refund. Although the vibe is nice for modern millennials, customer service is extremely sub-par. I will not return.
