The editorial take
Imperial Wine Bar pairs a 35-plus-bottle wine list with an equally deep beer program, both priced for regular visits. The wine side leans on recognizable regions—Oregon, California, Italy, Argentina—with glasses from $8 to $14. Beer drinkers get a world tour from Kölsch to mead, plus a beer garden. Classic cocktails are the stated third pillar, though specifics stay off the record.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Coelho Pinot Noir 2021 from Willamette Valley—$14 a glass or $47 for the bottle. If beer is more your pace, the Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen at $8 delivers a classic German wheat. For dessert, the Graham's Six Grapes Port at $8 for a 3-ounce pour is a tidy finish.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine drinkers who like choosing from a broad, region-spanning list without boutique markups will find steady value. Beer enthusiasts will appreciate the mix of European classics and American craft, plus the outdoor beer garden.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour brings wines by the glass down to $6 and takes $1 off drafts, making it a sensible time to sample widely.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Wine by the glass runs $8–$14, bottles $28–$47. Bottled and canned beers cost $6–$12, with drafts discounted during happy hour. Non-alcoholic options sit at $4–$7.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beer program's range is unusual for a wine bar—from a German Kölsch to a Danish mead, all listed on a board above the bar. The wine list carries similar breadth, covering French Sauvignon Blanc alongside Argentine Malbec, with a dedicated dessert pour of Graham's Port.
