Ori was behind the bar when I arrived with a few late night patrons. I had come in from a very long trip from NY, couldn’t sleep and always wanted to try the cocktails here. I told Ori what I was looking for and wage...to try one of their specialty drinks. He suggested the Grapes and Co. and I was not disappointed, it was great. While drinking it he was making something that smelled like licorice and I had to know what it was. He was so happy to tell me and others what was in it. He even brought me a historical cocktail book and pointed it out-of course he had put his special touch on the one he made. I told him for my next drink I wanted a smoky mezcal or tequila involved and he came up with the Oaxaca old fashioned and made it to my liking, saying ‘if it’s not for you after two sips tell me and I will make what you want’. He made conversation with all of us closing the bar and was so great to point out his favorite spots in Tel Aviv too. I’ll be back there one day! Great experience.More

Charming and intimate setting within a warm and cozy atmosphere. We felt like we had been transported to a foreign location and stepped back in time. Don't let the dated exterior of the hotel deter you. Once inside the Imperial Craft Cocktail Bar you will...discovery why this is a hidden gem. Recognized as being one of the best cocktail bars in the world, it becomes immediately apparent while digesting the cocktail menu. Cocktails bearing clever names are unique in their blend of ingredients, using interesting combinations of spirits, wines, liquors and herbs. I requested a light cocktail and was served a special, flavorful concoction. Interesting to hear the numerous languages being spoken by the international Imperial patrons; a group from Russia sat to our left. Cocktails were pricey yet worth the cost due to the effort and complexity of our drinks. This bar created the "square, one ice cube concept", so as not to water down the cocktail. Imperial Craft Cocktail Bar was highly recommended by the concierge at the Embassy Hotel, located just around the corner, otherwise we would not have discovered it. Service was friendly, helpful and prompt. Surprising discovery and a fun adventure. Memorable experience.More

A rather small place with great atmosphere and very good music. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The cocktails are special, contain high-quality ingredients, and served in a unique and individual fashion. Me and my wife shared a desert that was good. The prices...are higher than usual (this why a graded this place with four stars). Worths a visit.More
