The whole mythology of this place being a "neighborhood gem" is officially dead. Whatever charm it once had has completely evaporated. What's left is a joyless little room with indifferent management and service that can feel actively hostile. It can get very crowded, but... The energy is just off. It no longer feels warm or welcoming, and the type of crowd it attracts now can make the cramped space feel actually menacing. The staff also becomes strangely abrasive and aloof. Especially the younger male bartender who works on Fridays. I would never go again. Even trying to order another drink somehow feels like you're inconveniencing them. It's genuinely sad how they've managed to ruin what used to be a good thing. There is absolutely no reason to put up with this place when you could go to Cecconi's, the Tower Bar, Bar 1200 at the Sunset Marquis, Jones Hollywood, Laurel Hardware, Ysabel, the Roger Room, On the Rox, or Mic's instead. The name a few! Any one of them will give you a better room, a better atmosphere, and a much better evening. TBH, I would rather endure the mechanical-bull chaos of Saddle Ranch than spend another night dealing with the bizarre vibe here. That alone should tell you everything. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

Where do all the locals go? Well, the Bar Next Door is a great place! Nice, clean and friendly... Their craft cocktail menu is extensive, interesting and delicious. The restrooms are clean and cute Parking is slim to none! What do you expect? It's on the Sunset Strip. I can't speak to the food as we stopped in for a quick beverage before heading down the road for our dinner... But what they were serving to other patrons looked and smelled delicious. It's small. Grab a seat at the bar (which is really about it...) and start your journey to the craft cocktails with one of their friendly staff and bartenders. Be there or be square read more

Great experience! Arrived not long after they opened to get a spot at a table. I ordered Olive Drive and Mocambo Cocktails, and by far some of the best Cocktails I've ever had. I really love Mocambo. The place is a great vibe and great music and great bartenders! Not a dull moment. Will definitely go back. read more

We ordered Prince pizza next door and didn't know this was a sister bar. We were able to bring in our pizza and order a beer. They also have an option to order pizza off their menu. Loved the art deco feel and lovely dark cozy feel. The staff was super chill ,nice and attentive. I highly recommend grabbing a drink and a bite to eat. Meter parking in area but I would suggest uber or valet since parking tickets can be expensive. read more

The Bar Next Door is truly a gem. From the moment we arrived, Jay welcomed us with a warm smile and was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, making the experience feel both personal and effortless. The atmosphere is pure Hollywood chic stylish, sophisticated, and inviting. We ordered a pizza along with cocktails, and everything was excellent. I especially loved the Marilyn Monroe Special a delightful champagne cocktail served with a side of the best potato chips. It's such a fun and memorable touch. Every detail, from the immaculate space to the kind and attentive team, made our visit exceptional. If you're looking for a spot with great drinks, delicious food, and an effortlessly chic vibe, The Bar Next Door is definitely worth a visit. read more

It's a small bar where you definitely want to have a seat other wise you'll be standing in a narrow walk way. This place is on the sunset strip. The bartender and servers were super attentive the latest time I went which can be a pro and con. A good casual place to hang with friends or to go for date night as the booths are small, just don't expect any privacy read more

Such a fun "speakeasy" style bar! Came here on a date, and it had a very cozy but upscale vibe. The owner even stopped by our table to check on us, and recommended her favorite drink on the menu...the martini! I absolutely loved it, got a 2 of them. I can't wait to come back, there's so much history of the Sunset Strip also so if you're in the area and looking for a cute spot that tells the story of the Sunset Strip you will definitely want to stop by for a few rounds or at least a nightcap. read more

Old Hollywood meets well curated drinks with nostalgic classic music and a scene that makes you feel extra glamourous. Stopped by during the week, shortly after they opened, with plenty of bar seating and booth seating area. Place feels cozy, with so many details. From the wood bar paneling to the vintage sound system, it felt so aesthetically pleasant! The bartender quickly served us some water before getting our drink order. The menu itself is so creative, detailed, inspired by the Sunset Strip, with drinks named after famous music venues. This isn't your basic bar. This place curates its drinks with details and precision. Worth a stop if you are ever in the area. Fun Fact: TimeOut LA released an article, sharing Bar Next Door was on their list for Top 100 Best bars in North America. This is competing with big places like New York, Miami, Las Vegas. So to have a bar ranked worthy in your neighborhood, it's worth a visit. If you are a bar whore, you need to check it out. read more

I didn't just feel classy in this bar...I felt like I belonged to a well-dressed mob family secretly run by the film industry. Which might not be too far off as the building once housed Marilyn Monroe's talent agent. But I digress...this old Hollywood feel bar had it all. The smell of leather booths, secrets and someone who surely danced with Marilyn Monroe and Sinatra back in the day. The drinks were so detailed, with a backstory of each on the menu, which also by the way, was very classy. Service was great, although very minimal conversation. Maybe they are going with the mob theme and know where the bodies are buried, or maybe it's a quite bartender, nonetheless, a worthy stop for a drink. read more

A calmer bar located in the middle of Hollywood bar/club chaos. Perfect place to grab drinks with friends. The Chateau Marmont, was a perfect twist of a Cosmopolitan. And this is coming from someone who isn't a big fan of them. The service was incredibly friendly. There is bar seating, booths I think you have to reserve in advance, and some extra seating in the back. Parking is tricky but there is paid parking ($20) near the Roxy which is a short walk. read more

Staff was incredibly professional while also having showmanship flair when preparing drinks. Very cozy place with mostly regulars -- the woman next to me at the bar was reading a book. The ability to order the amazing bar pizzas from next door (Prince Street Pizza) and ice cream from Henry's Secret was the cherry on top. The dirty martini is a top 3 ever for me. read more

Such a cute little bar in the heart of West Hollywood! Found this place on yelp actually and was so surprised the day I showed up. They are very very, very busy and the space is very tight so if you're not going in tight spaces, I would skip. Their drinks are very unique and not watered down to say the least. Overall, a great spot for date night! read more

I knew my boyfriend would love this bar. He's really hard to surprise so I was ecstatic when I saw the grin on his face when we walked in. You immediately feel 'old Hollywood' as you walk through the door. Intimate booths, dim lighting, and groovy old school music. The extensive drink menu is printed on newspapers, another cute addition. They have signature cocktails, classic cocktails, beer, wine (even skin contact!), and seltzers. If you're hungry, they even offer a slice of prince street pies! The server was attentive and the vibes were great. I would definitely come back. read more

Went to get a drink and journal on a Friday night and I sat there at the BAR for twelve minutes before a bartender acknowledged me. He gave me a menu and kept making eye contact with me a few times but never came to ask what I'd like to order. Please do not go here it's an unwelcoming place like others have stated. Take your money elsewhere! read more

Great service. Great retro vibe. It was our first time and we absolutely loved it. The drinks were amazing and their homemade pistachio cream liquor that they have for Saint Paddy's day is incredible. The bartenders even made me my own drink with it mixed with vodka. read more

BarNextDoor is a beautiful place with upbeat art deco decor and energy to match. The bartender is Marshall and he nails a 1930s transatlantic accent with effortless charm. He also makes a great manhattan. The legend Hendo also reins over this spot and is always truly wonderful to see again in our city of angels. If you're hungry this place is also magically a pizza place all one has to do is ask. The menu is also very cool and I wish I had actually taken one, and perhaps next time, I just might (kidding kidding ... kinda :) read more

Bar Next Door - The Beverly Hills Hotel - Cocktail Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I'm actually obsessed with this bar. Every time I walk through the door, I just have the absolute best night. The drinks are delicious, the service is fantastic, the ambiance is top notch. I love that the menu is printed on what looks like an old-time newspaper and even includes the history of the building. Whether you get one of the classic cocktails like an espresso martini or try one of their signature cocktails, you won't be disappointed. I especially like the Beverly Hills Hotel, Chateau Marmont and The Standard -- the latter of which is their take on an aperol spritz, and changes based on which house-made soda they use. Okay, now I need to go again! read more

Bar Next Door - You'll want to steal this menu! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Service is great, vibe is fabulous, drinks are a hit. Wish I lived closer, but then again, maybe it's for the best. My liver and my wallet are better off on the east side. Also, want to shout out the folks making the drinks... Really great bartenders who know their stuff, and who are quite good fun too, brought our experience to the next level. I am forgetting their names, I want to say hers was Jamie and his was Nick? Zach? (neither of those names feel right)... He was an east coast feller that had been here ten years. They both had great energy. Cheers to good bartenders! read more

We had a great time here. They have a wonderful menu, I could not pass up on ordering the Beverly Hills Hotel cocktail. Just as tasty as it is beautiful, so many great drinks to try here.

Great selection of fun drinks and mocktails to choose from! Only downside is that parking was so difficult to find since most of the surrounding area is valet. The closest lot was $20. Besides that, the service was quick and friendly, and the inside was very vintage old Hollywood vibes. I definitely recommend! My friend ordered The Standard and I ordered a classic mule. read more

Bar Next Door is a friendly neighborhood bar. And I love that it it really close to my house. They have done a nice job inside honoring this cool, old building. Bartenders were uber friendly. I did not love the bubblegum 50's music they were playing, however. And my Whisky a Go Go cocktail sounded promising... two whiskeys, amaro, lime, bitters... but what I received was a watery affair. Apparently and inexplicably they add selzer water to it.. which really kills this drink, in my opinion. Spent a fast $40 bucks here and while I appreciate that they are here, I think they need to keep adjusting the ambiance and drinks. read more

Visited this lovely bar with my grandparents semi-spontaneously as I found it on tik tok earlier that morning! Came in around opening time and it was exactly what we wanted. Glamorous, old Hollywood vibe, with amazing drinks curated by a lovely woman we met there. She was knowledgeable and always checked up to see how we're doing. We got a variety of drinks from sweet and tropical to strong and dominant, just like the Hollywood stars back in the day would enjoy. Ambience is old school and sexy, and is the perfect spot to enjoy a drink or two on lovely sunset boulevard. Definitely recommend. read more

If you are local to this area, this could be your new neighborhood bar. It's cozy inside, but very crowded when I came during peak weekend drinking time. Since it's so small, I feel like this is just a bar to get quick drinks and leave to another place. This isn't the kind of bar where I imagine you could spend hours in. Great for dates and small groups, but remember it's tiny inside, so expect everyone to overhear your conversations. read more

Loved this place as soon as I walked in....and even before I saw the cocktail menu. I'm wondering what came first Prince St Pizza (MUST try) or the bar (next door to..?)..? Anywho....just a great vibe. You could drink there all day. It's compact inside but like you're going back in time. Beautiful cocktails, quality ingredients, and a cool vibe. The bartenders greet you when you come in and are skilled at making not only a beautiful drink, but it's tasty too. I had the Château Marmont, which I was afraid was going to be too sweet, but they hit that balance. It's definitely on the sweeter side but well-balanced so that it was more floral than therapy suite. The ladies sitting next to me, who were visiting from out of town, and we struck up a conversation, tried the sour and both were very happy with it. I wish the bar was in my neighborhood! read more

Come here for the atmosphere! The bar is dimly lit with plush seating and and a cute cozy vintage vibe. I loved the whole theme of the bar, especially the menu with the beautiful illustrations of the drinks and each drinks' unique names. You also get some chips upon sitting down, which is a nice touch. The bartender who served us was also very kind and explained some of the drinks to us. The overall taste of each drink was pleasant too! I normally don't like the taste of alcohol, but I wasn't put off by any of the drinks we tried. Overall, if you want to go to a bar with a nice ambiance, I recommend! read more
