The Imperial on Park · Winter Park

The Write-Up

The full story

Park Avenue's neighborhood bar, warm and laid back, pouring boutique wines, craft beers and cocktails built on Winter Park Distillery spirits. The kitchen sends out a blackened grouper sandwich guests rave about, plus smoked salmon crostinis and truffle fries. Live music fills the small room, loud enough that the songs, not the conversation, carry the night.

Our honest take

A neighborhood bar with boutique wine and local spirits on Park Avenue, holding a 4.8 from a small and loyal crowd. The one caveat is volume: live music in a small room can outrun conversation. Go for the music and the pours, and pick a patio mindset if you are there to talk.
