I tend not to review hotel bars anymore because even tough many say that non-residents are welcome, they are usually aimed directly at the residents. This used to be the case with the Alexandra Hotel where a small dingy downstairs bar used to stock a couple of mainstream keg lagers. During my latest visit, on the Friday afternoon of Airbourne, I discovered that this bar has been closed and a larger bar has been opened adjacent to reception up the main steps. Heineken Silver, Brixton Pale, Birra Moretti and Inch’s Cider were all available on keg. The service was polite and there were actually people in the bar creating some atmosphere. I think that I would still only visit here during Airbourne, but it is a good spot for watching the planes with a pint away from the throng of the beach over the road.
