Had an absolutely amazing night at The Imperial Erskineville Main Bar this past Friday! I’m visiting from the States, and this was definitely one of the highlights of my time in Sydney. The drinks were incredible, and the bartenders were amazingly friendly, and welcoming. The food was delicious, and the Drag Show was truly out of this world! The atmosphere, energy, and entertainment made for such an unforgettable night. If you’re visiting Sydney, I would 100% recommend making The Imperial a must-stop. Whether you’re a local or visiting from overseas, this is definitely a place you don’t want to miss. I’ll absolutely be back next time I’m in Sydney!

Always a gem! Great shows and it’s one of the few places that does early night drag shows if you don’t want to stay up past midnight! 8.20, 9.20 and 10.20!

Most delicious pizza, best cocktails, and amazing vibe; the atmosphere is full of happiness and joy! We have gone there many times, and it is constantly amazing! I love the Margherita and Pepperoni pizzas—best Fahrenheit cocktails! I can't wait to go back!!!🩷❤️🩷❤️

Waited 60mins for an overpriced burnt pizza, honestly don’t understand the hype. Queried the wait time at 40mins and was quickly dismissed by staff stating ‘yes that’s the wait time’ this wasn’t made clear when we ordered. Haven’t been to the imperial in quite some time as the atmosphere and clientele had significantly changed to our disliking. Not a great experience for our first time back celebrating a friends birthday. Certainly won’t be coming back! We used to love this place on a weekend!
