Part of Detroit's growth attracting visitors is its restaurant business. From sports bars and pubs to new local joints, there's something for everyone including a place to stop for an adult beverage.

Imperial is a Mexican bar and grill located on one of the most popular streets in the area. The margaritas are basically snow cones for adults with a variety of featured flavors for a refreshing drink out on the patio. Margaritas are made fresh, never using a pre-made mix, and fruit juice is squeezed right in the restaurant. To go with a cool summer beverage, the restaurant serves up Mexican dishes to enjoy with family and friends. Be prepared however. Imperial has a reputation for being busy but the wait is well worth it.
