In Short
This funky space, decorated with gilded walls, chandeliers and a mixture of seating, draws diners early and barhoppers later in the evening. Creative cocktails like the namesake Imbibe--a thyme-infused vodka and strawberry martini--and the pint-glass sized "APG" bloody mary with a pickled green bean keep the late-night partygoers grooving to DJs and live music on weekends. Nibbles like the crispy calamari, Yukon gold fries and standard hot wings satisfy.

I used to like coming to Imbibe for fun music and the food was decent. Went last week for happy hour, and left feeling really disappointed. Sweet potato fries were undercooked, and didn't even taste like sweet potatoes. Also ordered the Hummus plate, the carrots and cucumbers looked at least a day old. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be going back for awhile. Hope the next time is better.

I appreciate a good cocktail, but to me a good bar is equal to it's happy hour menu. Which Imbibe has in droves! I went with two friends and we shared the food we ordered, all of it off the happy hour menu. One of my friends is a calamari connoisseur and says it was the best he'd ever had. The tomatoes were stuffed with cheese, artichokes and drizzled with aged balsamic, it was fantastic. The little hamburgers were just ok, of the three the blue cheese one was probably best. And the salmon skewers were a little 'fishy' tasting for me. But you don't know until you try right? And it was all very decently priced.

What a nice little place. The atmosphere was great and charming. I loved the food and drinks and we had an all around good time. I think this place is a gem!
