The Imperial, Lower East Side(CLOSED)

OK so here the thing, THe IMperial is a cool place if you like being shoulder to shoulder...to shoudler to like back, with the people there. It's a lounge sized place but they pack it like its a clube 5 times the size. No big deal cuz those of us who have been 2 teen parties back in the day know that packed feeling all 2 well, no room to breathe and what not. Thats not the problem though. A place thats small like that tends to have events and people show up.... 2 many people. I was one of them.. See there was a special event and 2 b-day parties goin on at once. So you know it was packed, with beautiful women might I add. The thing is, they were not lettin any guys in at all. So even though I was on the guestlist, the cut it off because of the parties and I had 2 wait in line. NO big deal. But againb they were not letting any guys i because there were "too many" So wave after wave of beautiful women walked past me and all I could do is sit n watch as they passed me, and the would not let me, (or any other guy in for that matter), even though I was with people (women) and on the guestlist. And the Crazy s#*! is, they wouldnt let my friend OUT the place! So Im standing in line with a bunch of angry guys when they announce that if your not doing table service (buying bottles) you may as well go home. Its already 2:30 am so there aint no way IM going home, so after much discussion, myself and a couple of guys decided to put together to buy a bottle.The chepest bottle was absolute ($256) so seeing as how none of us was expecting to pay out the ass, like 4 of us were gonna put in for the bottle and they guys at the front told us that there were only 2 people split per bottle. 250 f@#% dollars for a bottle that I could get for $20 at any liquor store! and it gets better. I finally said f@#% it n was about to buy a bottle for myself when the guy told me that they were sold out and all they had was Henessy for $325! f@#% that, the gover went from 20 bucks to a 325 dollar bottle of Henessy? So I finally said f@#% it and left. Found a nice lil lounge on 14th st and chilled there till it closed n my people got outta Imperial.... Moral of the story is guys... If its past midnight ona Friday, just hang it up, you aint getting in. Your ass gotta get there at like 10pm jus 2 party.

I was there when dj bobby trends was there, i had a good time, had the two bottle special me and my dude, the ladies was in the building looking right, kinda mad that i didnt know i could've worn my fitted cuz we had the bottle service and its worth it. only bad thing about it is some of the lame niggaz they had in there and the broke ass chicks trying to get free liquor if you had a bottle but other than that IMPERIAL IS POPPIN ON FRIDAYS

Dirty dirty dirty

This place is so small and dirty. The people who come here are lo life dirty guys who think that it's appropriate to grab on any girl they see. I don't need a disgusting cigarette and weed smoking, fake gold teeth having, no pussy getting loser grabbing my ass. They don't stop people from smoking which is rude. They repeat the same music alllll night. The music is about 2 decibels too loud also, you can't hear anyone even yelling in your ear. If you're a dirty person this place is for you! This place is not fun and is def a place to skip! Go somewhere upscale not to this dump.

ive been there both friday and saturday; regular nights and after hours and i absolutely love the place. i do agree the drinks are a bit xpensive. i mean $18 for a hennessy and coke. but the music is nice; the host is great. the guys are all money making boys and the girls are hot and all get wasted and end up becoming wanna be strippers in the "cage" lmao. i love it.

I had a great time at Imperial. I was in the VIP section though, so my experience may be different than other reviews. It was quite spacious and there was plenty of room to dance. The atmosphere was cool, though it did seem like there were a lot of bridge and tunnel people. The cages provided the entertainment of watching wasted girls try to dance.

I went to The Imperial last week end using the service of two promoters Marion and Vero, I got my friends in (20 people) for free (guys as well!) they walked us in directly when we got there. You can reach them at 917 557 5787. The place is amazing!!

looking at some of the reviews below..i'm amazed i was at the same club. I guess it does depend on the night. I have been there twice, and it has been mobbed wall to wall with hotties, and they don't hit you over the head with bottle service if you come right. Dance floor was packed..and they seem to always spend money on a celeb DJ. These guys even spend money on air conditioning, and for the girls I was with, they let them smoke. Definitely going back.

too small and heard 4 songs like 3 times this is a club, there is so much music out there that there should be no repeats

I went to Imperial a couple of weeks ago and it was definitely a night to remember. the girls are f*ckin amazing there. If my girlfriend wasn't there that night, i would've definitely gotten laid by on of those hotties. LOL
