Nice vibes, Loved the first floor with bar and the live music from musicians on keys, drums, sax, and trumpet. Upstairs rooftop with bar and DJ, spinning more of a mix of Latin, & pop, a lot of hip/hop mixes with dance beats. Very slippery upstairs though, I even saw people poring bears on the floor, likely I had sneakers on so I couldn't imagine someone with heels on because I was slipping and even fell while dancing in my sneakers. But it was a fun time. More...

We googled jazz lounge and The Imperial came up. I think cocktail bar is more appropriate than jazz lounge. The mood was more upbeat and energetic than we were looking for, but we enjoyed most of the music even though it seemed to be a DJ with a laptop and one live drummer who played well. Drinks were also good.

Love this place! Especially the rooftop. Thursdays and Saturdays are the best. My only con is that lately they've taken away the seating upstairs which is the whole reason I loved going. Great music and lounge/bar vibe to sit down and do hookah or have drinks and catch up, dance if you wanted. Started to become so packed and no seating more like a club which was a con for me. It may be a one off event though. They have huge moscow mules that are amazing and so fun to drink in a group! More...

Live music inside, dance club on the roof. Deck area is a more quiet place to hang out.

I'm not the usual drinker...as a matter of fact, I don't drink AT ALL. I walk into this brilliant place very parched and guess who made my day with a CranOrange [Cranberry juice and Orange juice ONLY] cocktail. .? THESE IMPERIAL GUYS!!! This drink was on the rocks of course and it fully hydrated and energized my very positive day. HIGH FIVE!! More...

I always enjoy coming to the Imperial for a good cocktail and the dark and swanky vibes. Live Jazz is great as well, only I wish there was a dance floor. It gets very loud so it’s hard to speak to anybody and there’s no room to dance. I recooked the Imperial Old Fashioned cocktail, but anything you get will be expertly made. Never have had to wait to get in. More...

Best Old-Fashioned I've ever had. Bartenders really take their time making the drinks and are fun to watch. Bar has a great ambiance and bar staff. Really laid back and has a 1920s feel. 4 stars because speciality drinks are expensive and place is usually dead. I think they only get busy late at night. More...

The drinks are top notch, every flavor thoughtfully accounted for. The jazz is superb, full of that plugging rhythm that makes your whole body move. I could write poetry about this place. I cannot rate them highly enough. To me, is the crown of Charlotte. You just don't find this level of artistry anywhere anymore. More...

the wait was unbearable they had no people in the place but the wait was out crazy never again will I go there had to wait too long Plus it was nothing unordinary about the food and the cornbread was terrible I guess that's why it was so small they didn't want to make you punish didn't want to punish you any more than they had to with that cornbread

Visited on a Fri night. The atmosphere and live jazz band was fantastic. They played a mixture of classics and popular contemporary r&b covers. Patrons were a relatively diverse group (age/race). Only small complaint is that the decor and quality of cocktails left a lot to be desired, but I happened to get a seemingly young bartender that may not have had a lot of experience in mixing higher end cocktails. Would go again! More...
