Reviews for The Imperial at Washburn Imports - Sanford in Sanford, FL
New (repositioned bartender) is rude, not friendly, unbearable. He basically refused to make my drink request, spoke poorly of... other staff and procedures, made it feel very unwelcoming. Tried again the next day and left again. Won't be returning. Toobad. It WAS a cool place. Read more
Had the best experience. They have a wide variety of rare bourbons and whiskeys, fun and unique beers as well! Drinks are... outstanding. The vibe is absolutely warm, cozy, friendly, welcoming. Everything is made with such care and by hand. Makes forsuch delicious drinks. I was surprised at how sanitary everything is. Sam is the coolest guy, he is so fascinating! Thank youSam and Aaron for making our experience unforgettable. We will be back on many more occasions! Read more
Lots of selection, great specialty craft cocktails.
I have had some of the greatest experiences at this place. First time back in a few years and was absolutely unimpressed... tonight, bartenders rolling their eyes in your face, ignoring you when asking for the whiskey menu. Finally was able to locate abottle and then did not realize when they picked it up it did not have enough to make the drink that was ordered. Went from agreat cocktail bar to a basic local watering hole. Never a good sign when the bartenders openly talk bad about the managementand their POS system. Read more
This is an excellent craft cocktail bar situated within a furniture shop of sorts. In particular, each table and seat is unique... and for sale. The cocktails are on point, old fashioned pictured. They have a very limited food menu, essentially charcuterie.Nonetheless, the board was quite good and provides some sustenance bas you enjoy your cocktails. Read more
We went to Winter Park first but since they do not serve liquor at that location, we decided to venture out to Sanford. It is... pretty spacious and it has comfortable decor to sit and a bar where you order your drinks. Service was a bit slow for it notbeing too busy for a Friday night. The bartender seemed to be having a bad night because her attitude said it all. Too bad itdid not get better (yes we did tip her). There was a dj and he had the music pretty loud and it seemed that he just played whatcame to mind. It wasn't bad, just a but too loud. As the night progressed, it became pretty empty and not too busy. Drinks weregood and we were shown that they had a limited menu. Not bad since we were there to just have drinks and have a good time.Probably will come back if we are close to town. Pictured the Tomas Collins, Blood Orange Manhattan and a Prosseco/Gin drink.

After dinner one night in Orlando, my boyfriend and I were walking around and stumbled upon a wonderful surprise. It?s half an... import store and half a bar - a hidden gem. The night we went there a band was playing and it was wonderful! I definitelyrecommend checking this place out if you?re in the area! Read more
