BarFly's Review of Jasmine Tree (CLOSED)

Sadly, the Jasmine Tree closed it's doors on Oct 6, 2006. It will be missed

Authentic '50s tiki-bar motif, features occasional live music events. Wiseass BTs. Lots of unrealized potential. Every first Tuesday is the comedy show Extra Medium. Pretty damn funny, and definitely something to do on a Tuesday.

Good place to go for an after work drink. Or drinks. Jimmy is a good barkeep you remembers your name and drink after only a couple visits. I go in there maybe once a month and he always greets me by name. They have rock and comedy shows which I used to go see when I lived in the neighborhood (think experimental college rock and improv/standup college comedy - both can be good, are frequently lousy). The barflies alone are indeed worth the visit, but it's the stiff cheap drinks (and my Keno addiction) that keep me coming back. Also right on the streetcar line, bonus.

If you wanna feel like you are in a WEIRD movie...

I'm gonna cut to the chase: The Jasmine Tree is Awesome. It is a bar for people hho have been to lots of bars. This is a bar that the wild, frat-boy upside-down-power-visor-wearing jocks of PSU and their tanned, shallow girlfriends simply will never understand. The Jasmine tree is like Indiana Jones meets Star Wars meets Bukowski. Truly unique. So now that we have established that amatuers are not allowed, lets delve into what is so cool about the bar...

Upon walking down the short flight of srairs into the Bar, you are enveloped into the RED RED light which illuminates the tiki bar. Going along with the gaudy 1950s theme, you meet Jimmy. He is an impecibly dressed bartender whose chineese accent and snappy humor are an instant plus.

Then comes the clientel...just sit back, sip your drink, and LISTEN to what the hell they are talking about. You will laugh, cry, or hurl.

Yes, Portland Service Industry: This Bar's for You.

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

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. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

  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. Where 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.
