The Imperial at Clifton. The next chapter.
It all started way back in the 1900s with a sizeable mining community looking for a drinking hole… from there an iconic venue was born, known for its clifftop location and dynamic history.
Sitting idle for almost 20 years, the venue was reinvented as The Imperial at Clifton in 2021 – a bespoke, multi-level hospitality venue encompassing all-day dining and hosting a range of celebrations and events.
Just 500 metres from the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge, the venue is located on the tourist road known as the Grand Pacific Drive and boasts clifftop views of the Pacific Ocean and the escarpment; making The Imperial at Clifton a destination in itself.
Embracing the historic roots, the venue brings to light the story of not only the iconic building but also the town of Clifton. There are heritage features and historical interpretations everywhere you look – admire the original timber staircase, take a seat on the reinstated front terrace, cosy up to one of five original fireplaces and immerse yourself in the next chapter of this iconic venue with great food, drinks and an unbeatable view!
