A TMU residence is a sensible replacement, I guess—let’s just hope the kids still have somewhere to drink. #ImperialPub (3/3)

Toronto’s not really a blue-collar town, so true dive bars are rare, but the Imperial pulled it off better than anyone. #ImperialPub (2/3)

Well, it’s happened—the end of an 81-year era. It was never my local, but I spent plenty of nights here after a Massey Hall show or a lap through the Eaton Centre. #ImperialPub (1/3)

I can't believe they're closing it down. That's insane.

One last toast to the Imperial Pub.

An eight decade old Toronto institution, about to close their doors tomorrow for the last time.

Many fond memories I cant quiet remember were had here.
