Imperial Cocktail Bar in Tel Aviv-Yafo

Was here with my girlfriends and loved it. Nice relaxed atmosphere, attentive service and the cocktails were great. Food menu is nice too with lots of vegetarian options

Best cocktail bar in town! Feel free to ask your mixologist a personalized cocktail following your preferences. They are creative & friendly. Come between 6pm and 8pm. Happy hour -30% on cocktails. This place is busy so try to book your seat in advance :Ps: the expresso martini was one of the best we tasted.

Used to be an amazing place. Now its just a place.Food is the same as anywhere else, service isnt good as expected. Drinks are OK, sad to see a favorite of yours go down like this

High class bar. Good music, good food, good vibes, great cocktails.

Drinks are half price during happy hour, but would otherwise be expensive. The atmosphere is cozy, and would be best for couples. Reservations are mandatory, although when your time is up, youll need to leave.

I waited a long time to go to Imperial, following many recommendations. However, my high expectations were met with stark disappointment. While the service was great, the cocktails were mediocre. We left with a high bill and no desire to return. The bar is small and the ambience leaves what to be desired. The bathrooms were filthy with a urine soaked floors and missing toilet paper. After spending over 500₪ on a few drinks Id expect the bar can at least pay someone to upkeep the bathrooms level of cleanliness. I would save your money and go elsewhere.

The place is rather small, loud and packed, its hard to seat and converse without bumping into a person seating next to you.The food is not bad, but the portions are small, except for the nachos.From the cocktails Id recommend Seoul Searching which stood out, the rest werent too interesting.

An excellent cocktail bar, that oozes class and old fashioned elegance. Our mixologist (Ariwas informative and made great recommendations based on our personal tastes. We enjoyed cocktails from the unusual menu and also off book. Woul happily return.

Small cocktails with a big punch. Delicious and powerful dishes combined perfectly with the drinks.And the service, amazing. Everything is done and served on time with the outmost professionalism.Definitely coming back :)

This place is an incredible cocktail bar! 🍸 The Imperial Cocktail Bar, which was named one of the best cocktail bars in the world 🌍 and the best in the Middle East, serves a unique selection of cocktails 🍹. Definitely try the No. 1 and No. 6 - both incredibly rich in flavor! They offer Happy Hour 🍻 prices between 6pm and 8pm making each cocktail for ₪34 (less than $10- very affordable! 💸 Staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly and professional and ambience 🎶 is fantastic! The place has limited seats 🪑 so definitely reserve a table in advance! I wish I could come here more often!

Every conversation about cocktails in Tel Aviv ends with someone saying Imperial Cocktail Bar is the best place for drinks in the country, except those times when someone says its one of the best in the world. Didnt come close to meeting the hype for us. Didnt care for the vibe, the seating or the drinks. Not sure which of the three was worse. We were ready to leave long before we finished our first drinks. Stayed for a second and were equally unimpressed. On the plus side its quiet and one of the few bars not filled with cigarrete smoke. And while I could have made better cocktails at home - we didnt have to wash any dishes after so there is that.

Amazing cocktail bar with dark lighting, intimite atmosphere and jazz music at the background. Recommend to come between 6 pm to 8 pm at the happy hour when all cocktails cost only 34 shekels. Do book a place in advance!. Had a blast, all dishes were very tasty but small. Very kind service , a little uncomftorble to eat at the small tables at the side but never the less awesome experience . Mind blowing cocktails. Will return again for sure.👍👍👍

Perfect as always.Great vibes, best place to get cocktails and drinks in town, crew is built of the top notch bartenders in Israel.

Their cocktails are fine, but they seem to proud themselves with their bad service. Somehow being late on a stormy day is enough of a reason to treat you with disrespect. They literally said that because we were late they put us in the worst table, even though other tables were available and empty. When we finally were able to move to a sit by the bar, the bar tender was much better than the pretentious server that called drinks games and described them after we already picked them. There are better places in the city to go

A very atmospheric bar with delicious and deliciously described cocktails, I loved the Wabi Sabi. The food is decent too. The toilets are clean. Its a bit small and tends to be crowded, making alterations to the cocktails/food may be difficult.

Was here few years ago and everything was perfect. This time something was different, cocktails didnt taste so good, most of them were very sour, even though asked for not sour.

Had a great night out. Great drinks. Very diverse. The bartender puts out quite a show.

Slow service and a lot of mistakes in order.But great cocktails and good food .

The best bar in Tel Aviv. Feels like you are in USA. Minute steak 🥩 is wow

Lovely place with delicious dishes and cocktails. Some of the drinks are too sweet to my taste but overall is great. I tries the buns-amazing and nachos-average.

Quality cocktails made by super professional mixologists. The service is kind and welcoming. The food is good. Youd need to make reservations as this is a small place and very popular.

Cant get enough of this one.We were two, seated at the bar, got Nitzan as our bartender. We couldnt be any happier! She is absolutely the best.The staff (and Nitzan in particular, she is a gold mineat Imperial bar knows how to get you just the right exact drinks to your liking.Love the staff, love the cocktails (high quality alcohol too), love the music and the atmosphere.The food is mediocre but that ok, the whole point is the drinks and the vibe!We are happy to visit for many years, and will keep on coming back again and again.I kid you not, best bar in TLV.

Amazing cocktails, and theres definitely a way for you to find one or more cocktails youll really love here. Love the atmosphere of the place, which is thought through in detail, including the cool ticket-based menu. However the place is very small and you definitely need reservations one or two days ahead. If youre thinking about food here, youll find some stuff to nibble on, but nothing to satisfy a big hunger. I was also disappointed that the food menu was a bit all over the place and not themed like the rest of the place...

Exquisite cocktails, professional staff, excellent location. Highly recommended

Great food, great service, very friendly staff. Highly recommend to book in advance. Great spot for date night.

Great place. We went there for my birthday. Cocktails were at a high level, the bartender was extremely knowledgeable and the food was great. We had 3 different rounds of cocktails and we had 3 different dishes of food and everything was amazing. First drink was from the menu and then we went exploring with the bartender via personal taste. Food was beyond awesome. The saviche in crispy balls was phenomenal, and the beef medallions with the bak Choi were very good. It was a great birthday, thanks!!!

One of the best cocktail bar in Tel Aviv.Finger food next to excellent cocktails.

Top 3 cocktail bar in Tel Aviv!!! Super sophisticated and balanced cocktails, you can find same level of cocktails only in Manhattan and Tokyo...

A special little cocktail bar, with unique blends and yummy food.

On of the best cocktail bars in the city. Great staff and very friendly. The drinks on the menu are delicious and creatively named and crafted. 5 stars for presentation too! If you cant decide what you want, try to order off menu: just ask the waiter or bartender to order off menu and they will craft something great just for you. Happy hour prices are worth it too. Great place.

Amazing cocktails, great food, professional mixologists, cool atmosphere, perfect! Reservations ahead

Great place for creative cocktails and small plates of delicious food to share. Service is very good (Shaul helped usand you always can get professional recommendations for your next cocktail. In our case Mamosita Caliente was the best. As well as duck breast. Highly recommended!

Great cocktails, very cool atmosphere and lovely service!

Nice but not wow.Slightly to packed for my taste.Cocktails are interesting yet not all are tasty, but they all look great. Over all value for money is not that high, but definitly a unique experience.The duck dish was amazing, savitche fish balls were ok but not amazing, bury bury buns were nice (would order them again)

The best coctail bar in TLV! Also, they have the best happy hour (18:00 - 20:00).

Great cocktails with really good understanding of the ingredients.sophisticated atmosphere while still intimate.Dont stick to the menu for cocktails, ask about other things that they might have, they can direct you to the beat cocktail to your taste.Sadly the food wasnt that great, first dish was spicy while it wasnt mentioned as being one.The other dish was good but when we tried to eat the celery it still had remains of mud in it which totally destroyed the experience.Great place for cocktails, not so much for food

Extraordinary cocktails. Amazing design and good atmosphere. Happy hour is recommended.

Very nice place. This bar is really amazing. Drinks are extremely good and researched, also associated with Tel Aviv areas and history. Very recommended, if you are in tel aviv a stop is necessary. If you go during weekends, a reservation might be necessary as the place is not that big and very popular. Drinks are not cheap but it is definitely worth. Additional suggestion: speak with the bartender and ask how they select new bartenders, very interesting story!

Nice place! Extremely small sitting area. Location is really good on the corner inside a hotel very close to the Tel Aviv Beach.You should order a spot in advance. The cocktails are hit or miss kind of drink because they are so sophisticated that its hard to know in advance whats the actual flavor that is going to come out. Service was kind of professional and it was good for a cocktail bar.I think personally that its a perfect date place and I wouldnt come back again with friends only with a date.

The imperial is a place at another level, the best cocktail bar in the city, and rightfully so. Everything is though on and well executed. The place and the staff styling, the way everything is served, and above all the taste, of both the cocktails and the food. A mandatory place for everyone. They also got a happy hour with 50% off cocktails between 18 and 20 daily.

Best cocktail bar youd find in Tel-Aviv! Every cocktail has its story and the waiter would tell it to you passionately

When u feel your cocktail gets the right respect. Real pros. The best bar in israel. Best cocktails u can get..small place for like 40 people. theres some wait on the weekend better reserve a table.

Great new cocktails inspired by Tel Aviv.

Cozy charming and phenomenal cocktails! For a moment you are transported in time and place and you find yourself in a New York speakeasy. Very nice staff

Although overpriced, this was one of the most exotic cocktails I’ve had in my life. Can’t remember the name off the top of my head, but had citrus, spice, and earthy notes in every sip. Cool date spot, but just expect to pay 50-60 NIS per cocktail.

The cocktails were seriously the best I have ever had. Came with my boyfriend on Independence Day and we were able to squeeze in without a reservation (miracle). The food I was somewhat less blown away by. But the cocktails, my god.

One of the best bat in Tel-Aviv. Bar with the style and shark. Great cocktails menu, amazing barmen. Price average like for TA. Also has Happy Hours!!!

Thank you Imperial for the trip outside the box -- the staff were fantastic and attentive and the drinks were uniquely delightful. My favorite so far is the Puerto Escondido. Being from out of town we stumbled upon the place walking by and did not make reservations, a big thank you to the beautiful Topaz for finding us seats! They do have a sister bar right across the hall that slings great drinks as well if you cant be sat here.

Worst service awareness in Tel aviv!!!BEWARE. you may have cocktails in high level - but there are other places in tel aviv that give the SAME product - and still remember to treat there customers with respect.תודעת שירות מתחת לכל ביקורת. יכולים להיות לכם קוקטיילים מעניינים, אבל תודעת השירות שלכם מתחת מרסקת אתכם לקרשים

Want to get dressed up and have a fancy cocktail like no other? Heres the place. Asian inspired snacks prepared by a talented chef also available. Menu (cocktails, foodrotate regularly so theres always something new to savor. Reservations highly recommended.
