Next Door Bar

If you want to hang out at a REALLY FUN bar then check out the Next Door Bar! I wasn’t sooooper impressed with the food I got both times fun the bands they bring in are total fun! This one guitar lady was on one of the booth seats playing and singing. It was a blast!

A bowl of their green chili and a draft IPA… Life is good! Grab one of their burgers if you’re really hungry.

Love this place. Great hang out next to the Castle Café. Don’t sleep on the food either. We have been three times and the employees have been fun each time.

Will not be back here to eat. The burger was a completely overcooked dry hockey puck, of course server didn’t even ask how we wanted them cook. They charge $ 10 for this and don’t even include fries, those are extra. So we split chili cheese fries that mainly lacked chili and cheese, had to ask for an extra cup to Doctor them up. Blue moon tasted off, told waitress and she asked if it was flat like it was a reoccurring issue. Definitely will not be back to waste money again.

i loved my experience at Next Door Bar. i am from California and wanted a place to grab a quick bite to eat. the fries are amazing and they have a ton of beers for selection. they gave us the wrong food at first but quickly gave us the right food we ordered, free of charge. the atmosphere is super laid back. would go again for the fries.

I hung out here for several hours on Sunday evening with some friends. I’m from out of town and my friends said this is one of their favorite places. They have infused spirits, a decent tap list, and games! Oh, the games. Tabletop shuffleboard is one of my favorites! They also have giant jenga, pool, a jukebox and you can play beer pong /​flip cup, if that’s your thing.

Always a good time at the nextdoor. Good beer, atmosphere, service, food, and an overall great time. Scott and Cindy are the best.

Just stopped in for a burger and a beer around dinner time and was impressed by the friendly staff and quick service. The burger was tasty, the fries crispy and the beer cold. While the atmosphere is that of a dive bar, there are no complaints here. When in downtown Castle Rock be sure to stop by this neighbourhood bar.

Five Stars for lively, friendly, GREAT old country music, enough TVs for my sports enthusiast husband… AND…(drumroll) awesome bar tending. Perfect drinks every time. It’s a neighborhood gem that welcomes outsiders.

Not really a dive bar but close enough to be fun and cool. Great food, drink and service. Family, friends or couples would enjoy. Reasonable number of items on the menu. I think just small enough so what they do tastes great and enough choices. We will for sure go back a lot.

Used Unilocal to find this place and have to tell you it is a great little place. This is an old bar, nothing fancy BUT the food is really good. Between the two of us we had a hamburger and a brisket sandwich with an oder of fries and cole slaw. Everything was excellent. Brisket was very good with a great BBQ sauce. Hamburger was cooked as ordered, fresh bun, good flavor. Cole slaw is a must have, seriously. Inexpensive.

Prompt service, no pretentiousness which is nice in Castle Rock, and doesn’t feel like «The Dirty Bar» in town where the natives claim residency and treat you as such. And added bonus is when Dog the Bounty Hunter arrives and the grill opens back up late. Who doesn’t fall in love with a burger at 11pm? In all seriousness, great burgers, drinks cold, atmosphere welcoming.

Must try the yuppi-​I-​o dip! Best hot spinach/​cheese dip I’ve ever had. Highly recommend their sliders too.

Recently moved to Castle Rock and decided to check out some of the local fare. Stopped in today for lunch. The food and service were great! Will definitely be back!

This place is great, they let our daughter’s band play there one night «The Blush Band», and the whole place was rockin!!! Food was great too

We chose to try this place for dinner since we needed to explore the town a little, and we were not disappointed! We wanted something low-​key since we would just be taking the bike down into town, but still have a full bar and kitchen. We both got the JCB burger (mine with sweet potato fries, his with regular fries) and it was absolutely delicious! I literally didn’t put it down, just devoured the whole thing. The burger was overcooked for the order, but still juicy and delicious. The décor is charming, small town bar. The staff was friendly and attentive (and I believe the owner was working the bar as well). We will definitely be going back!

Very inexpensive drinks & neat atmosphere. Very small

Our friends who live in Castle Rock practically live here, so we met them here on New Years Eve celebrate. This is the quintessential neighborhood bar. It seems everyone knows everyone and even if they don’t, they do by the end of the night. After our first round of shots, our waitress started addressing me and the hubby by name and by our last round (5 shots and five hours later), I wanted to take her home with us because she was like family! (AND I might have been a little bit drunk.)
Oh, you HAVE to try their green chili cheese fries — they are outstanding! The green chili is homemade and would also be delicious on its own. I think I had a cheeseburger, too, but that was later on in the evening and I’m pretty fuzzy on that. At some point, a girl started playing guitar and singing Nirvana and Tracey Chapman covers — it was a nice touch that really enhanced the friendly, mellow atmosphere of this bar. If we lived in Castle Rock, this would be our second residence, too.

I like it. While it is a dive bar, you can feel comfortable eating there (unlike the Castle Rock Bar & Grill aka «The Dirty»).
Good burgers, good wings, good value for the money. Live music on both Fridays and Saturdays (at 9:00, I think)
The people who work there are very friendly.
Bathroom is sufficiently clean.

Good bar. I went in here on a Saturday for the first time and it had good live music, beer selection, and the prices don’t break the bank.
Most Def heading back here before thinking about heading up to Lone Tree to hang out.
Not sketchy at all, despite some of the reviews. Actually very clean for a bar.
