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.

Both drinks were pretty good and surprisingly strong! There's a few games outside too like giant connect 4 and Jenga.

Karen, our server, checked all the boxes -- friendly, attentive, and timely on the refills. And the street tacos....man. Amazing. Just another chill spot I frequent often to take a load off. I recommend bringing the whole crew here... or a perfect date night drop-in. Available parking with security that takes their job serious. Oh, and $10 Hookah if you're into that.

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

For a Saturday night, this place was packed; however, the service unfortunately lacked. It was easy…read moreto order drinks through their virtual online tab, where you can place both food and drink orders. 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

The patio was also overwhelming with marijuana smoke, making it impossible to enjoy a drink outside.

The person dining with me had the Catfish and salad with her meal. The catfish honestly looked better. From Oklahoma , the filets look like Swai, Asian catfish, I used to work for US foods and had to learn the difference. If it is real catfish that was a big fish. It only matters if you'll care as it still looks good and there isnt a flavor difference. We had Chips & Salsa with Queso. $10 Chips & Salsa add $4 for Queso. I asked for Chips & Queso assuming the salsa came with it. Still waiting for the check to see if they charged me extra. All being said, it was good, but not sure it is a solid recommend.
