The Bar Next Door

Stopped by this brand new hang out with a group of friends after an event out in wine country, and had some drinks and pizzas at the bar.  Owner Charity was at the bar with some friends, and she either knows everyone or wants to, because she greeted everyone who walked through the door.  Her charm and friendliness definitely sets the tone.  

It doesn't seem like it would be all that rare to experience great service, great food, and a fun atmosphere - but I realized as I experienced all three at The Bar Next Door that it is rare enough that is stands out when you find it.  

The Bar Next Door is connected to local favorite Spuntino, purveyor of authentic casual Italian fare, and you can order from the Spuntino menu while in Bar Next Door.  The owners, Charity and Alex, also own Gourmet Italia, another local favorite, so it seems they have the Midas touch and I'm not surprised the Bar Next Door is already crowded and serving up a great time.
