  • Patio/Sidewalk Dining
Description

Quite a change of pace from its more quaint neighbor Rudyard's, The Next Door offers a darker edge to the neighborhood. Next Door's smallish front patio is always smoky and dark, and the main room is red-lit and there's no need to dodge errant darts. You don't need to be a punk or metal lifer to enjoy Next Door Bar, but it would be a lot cooler if you were.

    Bartender Chat: Art Baez of Next Door

    By Geri Maria Harris | Fri, January 14, 2011

    If you've never been to Next Door Bar, but bartender Art Baez looks familiar to you, there's a reason for that. True, he's a Houston legend in the bar scene, but I'm talking about something else. ... More »

    "The best things in life are free, so let your mind and soul be free. Only you can hold yourself back." I was reading that piece of bathroom graffiti at The Next Door (2020 Waugh, 713-520-1712), head twisted toward the wall behind me, when I... More »

    No, the Next Door is not an after-hours club per se; no secret knock or any of that Al Capone-type stuff. However, if you're reasonably well acquainted with the staff and don't piss them off (which is not exactly easy to do, but it does happen), they're not always in a hurry to chase you home at the stroke of 2 a.m., either. We certainly don't want to get anyone in trouble, so we'll just leave it at that. (Yes, they do pick up the drinks, Mr. TABC man.) With its reasonable drink prices, first-rate jukebox, giant projection screen (often showing fare like Fight Club or one of the Terminator movies), air-hockey table and all sorts of funky art — the life-size wooden mummy sculptures are especially sweet — the Next Door kind of feels like an after-hours bar in the middle of the afternoon, too.

  • 2004 | Best Jukebox

    The Next Door The jukebox at Rudyard's -- next door to the Next Door, as it were -- is no slouch, with its selection of alt-country, cool local tunes, classic jazz and rock and blues, but the one at this art gallery/bar has it beat. Though the art on the walls is often top-notch, the jukebox is the real masterpiece here. Black Sabbath and Portishead, Led Zeppelin and the Cure, De La Soul and Dr. Dre, Prince and Johnny Cash all coexist within the bowels of this wonderfully stocked sound... More »
