The bartender was the one who made the drink menu, and told us the inspiration and stories behind each drink. Not only were they incredibly tasty and complex, but his explanations served to enhance the experience. For food, we ordered fried green tomatoes, calamari, the jack smash burger, the crawfish rangoons, and the fig and pig. All were excellent. It was my friends first time eating fried green tomatoes, as well as any sort of Rangoon, and he gave them both the stamp of approval!

Met a friend here. Forgot how much I like this place!! The atmosphere and the vibe were very cool…read more My friend is vegetarian and had other seafood dietary restrictions so there was only one thing on the menu he could eat- the corn agnoloti he liked it. And he liked his whiskey choices although they were out of the first one he ordered. I started with a whiskey sour- a drink I haven't had since I was at an Italian wedding! It was delicious. The I got the grilled Barramundi and it did not disappoint. The portion was big. We finished with an amazing pecans pie In which they brought out extra whip cream upon request. Highly recommend.

I was not pleased with my one experience here. My friends and I, a group of 3 girls, stumbled in…read morelooking for a couple of drinks after a late dinner. We arrived around midnight Our ID's were checked at the front and were told that last call was at 12:15am despite the bar closing at 1am. It was extremely humid and hot (like even more humid and hot than the outside at that time). All of the tables/booths were closed off, so only bar seating was available. There was only 1 bartender and 1 barkeeper, with the bartender being clearly overwhelmed. He stated that he couldn't make any complicated drinks (likely implying the specialty cocktails), so we just ordered simple classic cocktails including an old fashioned and gin & tonic. I was surprised that last call occurred 45 minutes prior to closing, seeming to apply to both food and drinks (given the bartender's comment). Despite this, I was surprised we were even let in if last call was about to occur. Didn't spend much time here but please see the attached for menu photos.

We sat downstairs in the Dram & Grain area $75 Tasting menu was not worth the cost Drinks were good Food was just okay and tappas style The crab deviled egg was the best part! If I wasn't soo allergic to crabs, I would have ordered these instead lol Risotto and shrimp was a 1/5. Lacked flavor. The Rice was actually SUPER hot when I received it, unbearable to eat initially Sundae and Bread pudding were devine! Risotto balls were so good Ceasar salad was like cabbage just cut up, I couldn't eat it Music was a nice blend of 90s/early 2000 hip hop Mixed crowd Bar area was slightly packed I would only come back for the bar and music

I've heard so many great things about Dram & Grain from when they first opened pre-pandemic. While…read morethey've been "open" for a while now, it's been the same menu as the rest of The Imperial. Fast forward to May 2024--I see a post advertising a preview night showcasing some experimental cocktails they've been working on. I ordered two cocktails which absolutely scratched that "unique cocktail" itch. The first containing Duck Fat Sochu, plum, Vermouth, Bourbon, and Mushroom tincture. It was extremely well balanced and I loved every sip--somewhat similar to a Manhattan but also a refreshing departure. Last, the Sorghum Whiskey is one of the most unique Old Fashioned riffs I've ever had. A very distinct flavor, and again, very well balanced. To top it all off, these unique cocktails were very fairly priced at $14 each. Leighton (the bartender) was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job of explaining the menu and providing insight into the ingredients. While the experimental menu is currently only available on Wednesdays / Thursdays, I was excited to hear that they're working on turning the space into a more permanent "cocktail nerd" space--think a separate hidden entrance, seperate menu available on weekends, food pairings, etc. I'll definitely be back!

With non-alcoholic culture on the rise I am seeing more places offering non-alcoholic drinks. Such was the case with the Miracle Christmas Pop Up bar by Black Whiskey.

They do have more non-alcoholic drinks to offer but everything looked good on the menu. I highly recommend you checkout this pop up. They also have a pool table.

Sometimes the pour is like 25% of the cost of a bottle. A bit shocking. Enjoyed my time here and liked the workers here, just not very economical in the long run as it's much easier to go find the bottles yourself and drinking at home. But if you must for social purposes and you're a fan, try it out. Also docking a point for the cloudy ice cube.

Igloos: We were greeted by name and shown to our igloo, which was set up with 2 heaters, a variety of comfortable seating and plenty of pillows and blankets.

Food and Drink: We received a celebratory complimentary champagne toast which was a nice touch. We chose seasonal cocktails which were delicious. The igloos have their own special menu, from which we chose raclette, sliders and hummus platter. The regular bar menu is also available. Everything was delicious and our server was so pleasant and full of information about the Watergate and its history. We finished with a selection of desserts. Parking is valet.

While the squash and onions detracted a bit from the flavors, the mushrooms were spot on! I enjoyed Cocktail #6 with Tequila, Elderflower liquor, fresh cucumber juice, and strawberry syrup. The cocktail was very balanced and refreshing - totally worth $21. I just wish there were more vegetarian options on the menu and lighter fare (smaller steak portions). Will come back again for drinks!
