Stumbled upon this local spot on a Sunday night when everything else in the area was doing last call. Thanks to Google & Yelp for listing but big thanks to the owner for the hospitality on the first time here. Great selection of kombuchas which is what I filled the 64oz growler with. Great ambiance! Music was key. Ordered 3 rounds & couldn’t be happier with the quality of service. Will be back with family &/or friends!
I thoroughly enjoyed this spot and it'll be in my rotation. It honestly feels like you're relaxing with friends at their house or in their yard. The owners are super nice and generous. The beer and wine selection is pretty extensive for such a small place. The meat and cheese board was huge and beautiful. Definitely a hidden gem.
Next Door is a real community kind of place- when you go for the first time not only are you gonna meet the family team running the place, but you're also gonna get introduced to all the other regulars; of which there are many! There aren't many places that have this kind of neighborhood/community vibe, but Next Door does. Arturo is always making delicious custom food in the back, his son David is a really friendly bartender, Linda is doing great things with the aesthetic, Kevin is a great trivia host on Tuesdays... plus the regulars are all great, friendly people. It's a place to have a nice glass of wine, a tasty bite, good conversation, and meet new interesting people. Solid thumbs up. 👍
This family owned spot is a little GEM in this town. I absolutely love the owner, his recommendation of wine was PEFRECT. Its cozy and so simply wonderful. Come here and have a glass for a great time :)
I love this place! They always pair me up with the best wine. Food is great too. It feels like Cheers because it is a neighborhood establishment and you always see a friend there too. So fun. Plan to go back for trivia night.
So I actually stumbled on this place when I ordered seafood at the place next door and when I was told it would take 20 min I said hey ill just go Next door and wait. Little did I know it was literally called "Next Door". When I 1st arrived it was just the bar tender and we were able to sit and visit on our knowledge of wine. Within 30 min the place was filled with locals to play trivia and I knew I was in the right place. The father son owners were so sweet and as the crowd gathered buzz filled the air.
I highly recommend stopping in for a drink and if its quite just enjoy the company of the father and son. Its a clean and has a great ambiance. I will definitely come back.
Cozy wine and beer bar. Prices are a little high. but I’m willing to pay up for more locally owned spaces like this.

UPDATED!! please ignore any bad reviews related to the bartender/owner. He has recently bailed and the ownership is back to the old owner. I'm just a customer of about 8 months. The bartender was a pretentious and rude, but he's no more. Friendly and fast service now. A nice little bar. Also, the BBQ place next door that delivered good food is moving in December so that's another update. Still good beer and a cozy place that's not loud.
