Reviews Summary
Imperial Grill is a historic Juneau bar offering a unique blend of classic and creative American and Mexican-inspired dishes. While many praise the delicious food, especially the crunchy wraps and tacos, and the lively atmosphere, some patrons have encountered unfriendly staff and slow service, particularly during busy periods. Despite these inconsistencies, it remains a popular spot for both locals and tourists seeking a taste of Juneau's history and satisfying pub fare.
"Crunchy wrap and tots
Place has a relaxing vibe when you walk in. Bar is full but tables are waiting for you.
Food is more than fairly priced considering I don’t think I’ll be able to finish this delicious creation I ordered to end my starvation. ;)"

"There seems to be nothing open in Juneau for food after 8:30 9:00. I was told by many people as they were closing down to try the spaced out. It's attached to a bar was very loud and they don't serve food. However I had fish tacos from this space and they were very decent local fresh Mahi tacos."
Tom Bidot
"Got a local beer, so hard to choose which one. We got the gold. Also 2 shrimp tacos and tots. The tacos were fresh and a little spicy. The environment had cool environment. Music playing, but not to loud. There is a pool table and a dance floor with what looks like a DJ booth. Very cool place."
