Amazing every time. Drinks are always made to perfection and served with a smile. We go here more often then I'd like to admit, easily once a month.

The Imperial Lounge is everything you expect in a quintessential speakeasy. It’s hidden away in a nondescript strip mall behind a bike shop - definitely a destination! You won’t see “Imperial” signs guiding you there. Instead, there’s a small neon “Ba’k Dor” sign, homage to the 92-year old former owner of that bar who sold to the Imperial. The ambiance and décor are awesome; the place is dimly lit and intimate, with comfortable seating and an outdoor patio. Things were crowded the night we were there, but we were lucky enough to get seats at the bar. The bartenders are all friendly, welcoming and most importantly, amazing mixologists! We found it best to give some guidance on what we like and let them do their magic. Such exceptionally well-crafted cocktails! This little Goleta gem is the perfect place for date night or for a gathering of friends. The only downside is that there’s no food, other than bar nuts. So plan to eat before you go and then sit back and leisurely enjoy some after-dinner cocktails.

I've been going here for years. It used to be the best cocktail bar in the Santa Barbara area. But it's been slipping the last few months. I don't mind spending $15 for a cuppa booze but it's gotta be good. And right now - based on my last 6 visits - it's not up to it's original standard. Either lower the prices or up the quality...you can do it!

Whenever we travel, we are always looking for the elusive Speakeasy...blend of secret hideway, with rockin' decor and a cocktail list that is inventive! LOOK NO MORE! Well, you may have to look a little bit because we had some trouble finding it but let me tell you...go around the back of the building when you think you are there. You are but it's not visible! The inside of this joint looks like the Brady Bunch house - 70's decor mixed with a little tiki action. The drinks were great and there is a cute porch as well. The owner was our server and she was delightful! Make this a stop on your trip~you wont be disappointed!

I went here with friends a few weeks ago to have some drinks. Fun atmosphere, very friendly bartender and low-key vibe. It was a fun evening - I'll be back next time I am in town. You would not guess there is a cool place like this in a kind of strip mall in Goleta of all places.
