I have been back to Jones a few times recently and feel the need to update my review. If you are going to call yourself an "80's & 90's dance club" and have plenty of ambiance and decor to reinforce this idea you should be playing music from the 80's and 90's.
With the music turned up so loud, you feel the beat rattling your bladder, the stuffiness of having all of those bodies in such a tiny space, the lights going off in crazy patterns that seemed more intentioned to induce epileptic seizures than add to atmosphere, and the suffocation of the chemical from the fog machine preventing you from taking a full breath, there is literally no way to be physically comfortable in this space.
The decor was interesting, fun and true to the 80's/90's theme. This, and the French fries kept it out of the 1* review territory.
Love the layout of this club. The staff is professional and the service times are fair for the amount of people in the bar. I have never eaten there and not sure I'd want to. It doesn't appear to be the cleanest place. The bathroom attendant was freaky. That's a sh!??y job. Great dance floors and patio area.
There were several bachelorette parties going on along with a lot of skeezy dudes just looking to get laid. It made the whole vibe weird and creepy.
I have been to Jones multiple times in the past and have had good experiences, but after last night I will not be going back. Since when were the Seattle Mariners not a local team to Portland? The bouncer asked if I had been to Jones before, which I had. And worn my Mariners cap before. I thought it was a joke. I don't know why I paid you $10 when I could've turned around. Where is the next closest MLB team? As upset as I am, and as ridiculous and unnecessary that rule is, I understand to an extent this morning. But you're going to lose a lot of good customers who don't cause any trouble. Maybe something to consider.
For a place that bills itself as a 80's and 90's club, they played very little identifiable music from that era. Also, the DJ kept starting and stopping the music and putting record scratches over songs in places that it really wasn't called for.
The last two visits I have made to Jones have had a little music from the 80's and 90's decades with more and more current music seeming to take over. I really used to love coming here to get my dance on because the music was great and I knew what I was going to get after paying my cover fee. I now feel pretty reluctant to frequent this place anymore and it makes me sad.
Overpriced and racist. Staff was rude and didn't play much 80s or 90s music. Never go there.
I almost never give 2 star reviews. I can usually find enough objective good about a place to give it three stars. However, this place barely escaped a one star for me.
The grilled cheese with tomato and bacon I ordered was well toasted on the outside, but I had a hard time feeling like they should have advertised it as "add bacon and tomato for an extra dollar". That bacon was nearly non-existent. The French fries were some of the best I've ever had.
