BarFly's Review of Alexander's (CLOSED)

CLOSING DECEMBER 16, 2006! Piano bar with panoramic view of downtown and the West Hills on the 23rd floor of the Hilton. Popular with the blue-haired, AARP-card carrrying crowd (cougar, anyone?). Pianist and jazz combos Wednesday-Saturday nights. Small dancefloor. No cover. Open 5pm-midnight, Wednesday-Saturday. Half-price apps 5-7pm W-Sat.

What a shame

I visit Portland at least once a year, and the ONLY reason I've stayed at the Hilton was Alexander's. Imagine my dissapointment last month when the elevator doors open up to...nothing. Empty. Gone. What complete idiots these so called new managers are. All they've "managed" to do is lose customers...I'll never stay there again. It started going downhill after Chris left. Where is he now??

Not Over Yet

No the Jazz has not stopped. It is still going on every night that they're open. It has been non-smoking for over a year now, though I see that you (Tony) made this observation quite recently. Where have you been? And yeah, Chris is gone which is one of the lamest injustices in the service industry here in the Rose City. Chris' sidekick Judith of 5 years has now taken his place. She's almost as cool. There has always been plenty of geezers but jazz does have quite a few young followers. A lot of the musicians are fairly young. Overpriced? Of course. It's the Hilton. Outdated? Hell yeah. The brass needed to go 20 years ago. But really, can we all be as hip as Tony?

A sad end

Alexander's is no longer worth your time. They stopped the cool 1940's-1950's jazz muisc, went non-smoking, and super bartender Chris is gone. He really made this place. Now is it just an overpriced lounge filled with AARP members. Go elsewhere.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way.

    Also, please do not use the review system to update your bar's listing. Instead, fill out this form

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Were you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.
