Alexander's — Restaurant in Jacksonville

I’m completely disappointed in this place and wish I could get a refund back from Friday night. (We got there for 10 when opened) They advertised it as Latin night with a live Bachata band.

Since it’s my husbands favorite type of Latin music I thought it’d make for a great “Father’s Day” gift. The first DJ played good Latin music for about the first hour.

A different DJ came on and played normal club music for About an hour to hour and a half. (Which i couldn’t stand) By this time I was already getting mad because I did not pay money for a regular club night I paid money for Latin night and to see a live bachata band.

However It was close to 12 so I decided to wait a little bit longer figuring the band would go on at that time since the event started at 10 and was closing for 2 ...but they didn’t.

We left at 12:30 without being able to listen to the live band and with having a majority of our time there listening to normal club music and the mc cursing up a storm and telling the “alcoholics” the head to the bar and drink up. (In my opinion completely unprofessional)

What we thought was going to be an exciting fun night out ended up a big disappointment.

I get it’s a nightclub but if it’s advertised as Latin night with a live band then that’s what the whole night should be. That’s what we paid money for and that’s what we didn’t get.

We won’t...

This is the most honest review you’ll get:

so for starters you aren’t allowed to have a hoodie (which isn’t something you just know) so you either have to pay for them to safe keep it for you or you have to take it back to your car and pay the $5 dollar re- entry fee, ridiculous. Moving on, so Friday nights are supposed to be “Latin nights” but you’ll get like maybe an hour or 2 of Latin music (not the best selection but not the worst either) and then it’s just straight up hip hop which defeats the purpose of it being a Latin night. It got so bad that people started sitting down asking themselves “wtf why are they playing this?” Been to a lot of club’s and I’ve never seen that happen before.

Alright, so let’s say none of that matters for you, well then I hope you like extremely overpriced drinks and having to wait 20 to 30 minutes to order them. I’m not kidding and other reviews have said them same. Look, the place has potential but the overcharging, the false “Latin nights” promise and the weird rules just have to go or need changing. Also, get...

The food is the NC style and flare! Chicken, ribs, BBQ baked beans, Mac and cheese, corn on the cob…I don’t know if it was the event for food, there were no menus available.

Great vibe in the establishment, spacious, clean, and secure.

It’s hood!!! lol but don’t be scared. As long as you don’t bother anyone, you are safe. Attended a relaunch event on a Saturday, and it was cool, food was excellent, but food service was lackluster. I saw a post for free food, which is why I came out, since I was visiting the area.

Drinks will get you there at a decent price. DJ was “meh”. Maybe it was what they were going for, but dance floors were empty. But it was a good “lounge” vibe. “Get some hookah in there”

I had fun overall, but there’s no direction of what they really want to do. Great potential to be one of those spots to have good music, food, and fun.

I’m only sharing a review from a traveled perspective, and to give insight for a potential business to grow!

Definitely worth checking out if your...
