1 Review on “The Imperial at Washburn Imports”
Imperial was the first bar I went to in Sanford and it was the perfect place to introduce me to downtown’s eclectic nightlife vibe. This place has a lovely, quirky setting. By day, it’s an artisan furniture store so by night, you can bliss out on old, painted stools or giant, oak benches. I go here with my friends if we want a bright, lively place that serves good cocktails. One night, my friend and I shared a charcuterie board with my friend and everything–from the bread to the olives–was fresh. Plus, it paired well with the wine.
The bartenders are friendly and always up for a conversation.
I’m a gin-lover so my favorite drink is the Gin Smash: gin, sugar, fresh lemon, fresh orange, fresh mint, and Peychaud’s bitters.
