Yeah, i'm just going to echo everyone's general sentiments, and that is that nextDOOR, despite its hokey name, is the new \"it-bar\" in downtown PHX and possibly the entire valley. \n\nTheir set-up is phenomenal and it has the feeling of drinking on someone's patio that has much more style than you. I love when genres are crossed, and nextDOOR's can be described as classic/mod. Classic in the sense that the structure is in a restored historical home and traditional cocktails, but mod in the sense that there is a DJ in the attic, rebar artwork, and infused vodkas. Pretty freaking cool. \n\nThen, there are the city views. Despite our embarrassing (for the nation's 5th largest village) cityscape, it does really shine from the patio of nextDOOR. \n\nSpeaking of that patio, its beautifully shaped, and VERY spacious. The bar itself is interesting, and the service is really good. The bartenders here are really current and stylish, yet pleasantly avoid the pretentiousness that this bar could potentially convey.\n\nThe only negatives about this bar is that they don't open until 7 pm, as I went for a happy hour drink one Thursday with my shorty only to find it closed, and the exorbitant pricing for generic vodka with lychee wedges infused. While its a superb drink, it really shouldn't be $10 a glass. \n\nNeither of those two things has kept me away, nor the cold as they make the patio warm with open-pit fires and heat lamps. Good street scaping and semi-frequent foot traffic really give this place an over-the-top cosy and relevant vibe. \n\nIn a few years this place will be a staple once the Roosevelt Entertainment Dist expands further.
