It depends on who is working. Â Burgers are pretty good when cooked on this side instead of on the other side of the wall at the castlerock cafe. Â If you want to be "attended to " sit at the bar. Â Otherwise the table service severely lacks in the service department. Â Once the bartenders get a few drinks in them get ready for a pretty good time.
Review Source:Good bar. Â I went in here on a Saturday for the first time and it had good live music, beer selection, and the prices don't break the bank. Â
Most Def heading back here before thinking about heading up to Lone Tree to hang out.
Not sketchy at all, despite some of the reviews. Â Actually very clean for a bar.
I love the bar next door. Â It took me a while to try it after moving to Castle Rock last year (I actually thought it was a rough bar-I was quite wrong). Â The food was amazing and the service was really impressive. Â There are typically only 2 people working, a bartender and waitress.. But do they ever stay on top of it even with a big crowd. Â I recommend trying the Brisket or Pork Sandwich and the Spinach Dip is soooo good too.
Review Source:If you're ever in the mood for a good, big, greasy burger, Bar Next Door is where you need to go.
I went to this place all the time when I lived in Castle Rock. The service was always stellar, the burgers always hot and juicy, and the drinks always strong and well priced.
The only thing that I could gripe about is that you have to order fries seperate. I mean, really in what kind of a world do burgers and fries not come together on the same plate? One that I don't want to live in that's for damn sure!
If you're looking for somewhere new to try I'd definately stop by here!
I love the chicken noodle soup here. Homestyle, thick with homemade "noodle" chunks. Almost like dumplings. Â I work late, and sometimes like a beer after work, and I refuse to go into the Busty or the Bar down the street. Nice that it's usually open late. In fact, it seems it's the only place open late in CR! Â Atmosphere is casual, small town, and clean. The cops come in for a cup o joe at about midnight sometimes. Overall a nice place, nothin' fancy.
Recently went in again, and damn they have a good burger! Go!
While the Castle Café seems to bring people in from cities near and far for their fried chicken, the bar Next Door (which is, in fact, next door to the Castle Café... duh) seems to cater more to the local crowd.  We started visiting the Next Door bar out of necessity, after moving to Castle Rock and discovering that if you wanted someplace to eat past 9pm on the weekend, you were pretty much limited to fast food or making the long haul to Denver.  Lucky for us, Next Door serves food until 11pm and drinks even later.  Luckier still, it's consistently good grub, any time of the day.
The Next Door bar has the look of a place that's been open in Castle Rock since the old days, of cattle rustling and cowboys.  With a few animal heads mounted on the wall and rustic décor all around, the place reflects the local charm of Castle Rock better than any watering hole in town.  It's actually part of the chain that includes Choppers, Trinity Grill and Rocky Mountain Diner, but it doesn't feel like a chain at all.
Â
The place isn't huge, but is big enough and usually never full unless you show up late and they happen to have live music that night. Â If there's no band then there's always the jukebox, one pool table and the requisite bar video games for entertainment, if you're the type to need the entertainment (beyond people-watching). Â There are always plenty of tables and booths if you choose not to sit at the bar, and the place seems to be kid and family friendly, at least during earlier hours.
Drinks are good - beer is always super cold and your glass never stays empty for long. Â What impressed us most, was on our 2nd or 3rd visit, Scott, the guy you can typically find behind the bar, knew our drinks and had them started before we picked a bar stool. Â You have to love a place that makes you feel like a regular after only a couple of visits. Â If there's a blender behind the bar I've never heard it, but there's a great selection of liquors for mixed drinks and shots if you're feeling the need for something strong.
It is more bar than restaurant, but don't discount their food menu.  The menu consist of your standard bar food - wings, chicken fingers, burgers, and sandwiches.  They have a few entrée-size salad choices, but to be honest, I haven't tried them - the isn't the place I head for a healthy meal, if you know what I mean.  This is the place to get a burger, especially the JCB (jalapeno cream cheese burger).  My husband always pairs that with a cup of their amazing green chili to start, but then again he's made of much stronger stuff than I am.  A few bites and I've had all the heat I can handle.  I typically stick to the standard steak burger, with fries or rings on the side.  The BBQ Pork Sandwich is also pretty good.  Belly up to the bar, and you can watch your meal cooked, as the one-man kitchen is at the far end of the bar.  It's small and simple but always clean, and the food comes out hot, fresh and fast.
Overall, the service is quick and friendly, the food and drinks are great, and nothing on the menu will break the bank. Â We'll be back again and again and again...
