I've been coming to NextDoor Bar & Lounge for years, and seeing the recent renovation completely…read moretransformed the space in the best way possible. I was impressed when I walked in. They managed to keep the same relaxed neighborhood vibe people love while giving it a much more modern, polished, and upscale feel. The updated design, lighting, TVs and overall atmosphere look incredible and make the space feel fresh without losing its personality. They still have the spinning drink wheel! The outdoor seating especially feels elevated now and makes for the perfect Houston brunch spot or night out. One of the best parts about NextDoor is that it's connected to Hungry's, which means you get full access to their menu while enjoying the lounge atmosphere. Being able to order everything from cocktails and appetizers to full meals while at a bar is a game changer. The food is consistently good, the drinks are strong (especially the frozen options) well-made, and everything comes out quickly. What keeps me coming back year after year is the consistency. The staff has always been welcoming and attentive, the crowd is chill, and it never feels overly pretentious or chaotic. It's one of those rare spots that works for everything, whether it's happy hour after work, date night, catching up with friends over drinks on the patio or a solo adventure. Love seeing a longtime Houston favorite continue to evolve while still delivering the same great experience that's kept me coming back for years. Definitely one of my go-to spots on Memorial Drive. My only suggestion is to tell the younger staff members to be conscious of their conversations while guest are dining nearby. I love people watching but I heard a lot of things. It appears Hungry's uses the bar area like a break/training room or to do other tasks like rolling utensils in napkins.

The kitchen is located in the restaurant next door so there are runners between the two. We ordered the pepperoni and mushroom pizza, spinach and artichoke dip, and barbecue cast iron wings. I could easily pass on the food here, because it was under seasoned and the wings were soft. However, they have great drinks that are well poured and great service. We experienced a bit of a mishap which caused our food to come out very delayed, but they were overly apologetic and comped the food.

I had a few drinks and didn't remember her name (I'm sorry)! I tried finding a phone number to call, but it's nowhere to be found so I could track her down (she's the one standing guard while we played Jenga) LOL.

They're currently running crawfish, but definitely call ahead to confirm the days so you don't miss out. And I have to say--Morgan is amazing. So friendly, helpful, and just makes the whole experience even better. You can tell they really care about the vibe and the people who come in. If you're looking for somewhere different, laid-back, and full of good energy, The Decoy is absolutely worth checking out

However, the servers hardly seemed to know which table the orders were for, which is something that needs to be improved when assigning tables within their online mobile system. This is a nice little bar to enjoy some outdoor fun with friends, and the food such as the chicken tenders were great. Overall, I wish the service had been better, along with the turnaround time for drinks. Service 2/10 Food 7/10 Drinks 6/10

They had some off nights too, like the time I went in at around 11 pm and a very salty, old waitress (she was a hag) said, "f--- this! I'm not serving anyone!" She started putting chairs on top of tables. That was long ago. Today, the place is dirty and dusty. Little gnats fly around trying to get into your drink. Pizza is either undercooked or too charred. On this occasion, undercooked and just gross. Expensive too. The last few times I've been, it was burnt. Maybe there's something wrong with their oven. Rough crowd too. Their clientele has gotten way worse. Don't think I'll ever go back.

It was on a Wednesday and I found parking on the street not far from here. First thing I noticed was the margherita pizza. I chose the vegan version with vegan cheese. Friends were looking at me crazy. Margherita pizza has no meat already. No, it's the cheese that I can't eat. I think it was very flavorful. I shared it with a couple of friends. Their reactions were opposite. I don't blame them. Vegan cheese is not really cheese. Hahaha. Mashed potatoes was pretty good too. I like the atmosphere and the restaurant opens til late. Food was excellent. Service was pretty efficient. The waitress had a good memory when taking orders. I don't mind coming back.

Parking can be a bit of a hassle in the area, but there is a parking garage adjacent to the restaurant which makes it manageable.
