We passed by for an espresso martini and they were so light and airy! I couldn’t see myself staying there for more than an hour. The place looks like it gets really crowded.

Yessir! Fun lil place! It's small but cozy. With an old-school charm. Those seasoned chips are addictive. At $1 a bowl, we ordered several lol. Perfect, low-key place to unwind or meet someone for a drink. It's Hollywood without any pretense. Service was right on! And the drinks were good! Parking is a pain during rush hour. Not so much because you can't find a spot, but because Sunset is a parking lot. Definitely going to swing through again! Two thumbs all the way up!

Absolutely love coming here. Great service and cocktails from Ryan, Paul, Pat, and Brynn. The music here is great too. Vibes are always immaculate. Remember to tip, these people truly deserve it!

Love this spot. The staff is wonderful, cocktails are delicious, and it has a cozy old school bar feel that's had to find around LA. The Old Hollywood newspaper cocktail menu is super cool!

I'm not a huge drinker and it's hard to find somewhere to provides fun and different mocktails other then the typical virgin mojitos. The staff all takes the time to get to know you and understand your needs and the few times I've been back they remember me and make me feel comfortable and extremely welcome. The vibe is always good, great music, great people watching, and great drinks. Definitely a spot I recommend my friends to try when they're looking for a new spot.

This is a small city with literally 100's of bars but none of them quite like Bar Next Door. BND is quaint, yet super sexy, its a very special place that plays homage to the past while it's craft cocktails created by LA legendary Brynn Smith, sits firmly in the future. Don't get me started on the menu design, I get very excited when I see owner's invest in design concepts. Bar Next Door's artwork is stellar and worth the visit alone. The libations all have there own stories and they taste, well, you will have to come find out... This is a must visit bar in West Hollywood, and as the creator of a cocktail book on West Hollywood I was pretty pissed it just opened as we pressed print on production. I can wait to so another iteration of Once Upon a Cocktail and BND will be first on our sip list! Brynn your a cocktail rockstar!

Good vibes and great cocktails! There’s pizza next door and they’ll let you bring in the pizza inside the bar :-D. Harper and Taylor are solid bartenders and the bar manager is lovely. They had a henna artist that was there, and I had a lot of fun as a solo drinker there.

This place is soooo cute! Their menu is legit and it's in a little newspaper with pictures so I can imagine all the flavors with my eyes. Their ice cubes are really big and clear so I know this a good place. Brynn and Taylor made me drinks that were so yummy! They were so nice and knowledgeable. Then I ate a whole pizza next door. Nom nom nom. Yes please!

Super cute bar with incredibly kind and attentive staff! I love coming here as it has that cozy (yet elevated) neighborhood bar feel. The cocktails are very tasty and well thought out, there's a sizable spirit selection, and they even have a tasty N/A wine selection. Also, love that you can bring pizza in from next door. Can't wait to be back soon!

I met up with my sisters for a celebratory girls night at BND, and it exceeded my expectations! When I was handed the newspaper drink menu, I knew I was in for a good night. The drinks were so good, the vibe is great, and the service was amazing. I even got a free slice of ! Best night ever!
