We came at 5. They only had 6 tables taken. They told us a 10 minute wait. But there was 30+ tables open! So we waited 15 minutes, not sure for what. Other parties came after us that got told the same thing. Wait 10 minutes. Dude for what just seat us at one of those 10 empty tables in that row. Now for the food. We ordered Korean chicken, it wasn’t gochujang, I actually wouldn’t describe it as Korean in any way. It could probably best be described as American style Chinese chicken. The sauces… super Korean…. Honey mustard and ranch. Oh yeah that’s very Korean guys. Ok then we got the fish tacos, came with fricking franks red hot and sour cream lol so basically American tacos.

Came for happy hour. Pretty cheap drinks with a good selection. Outdoor seating was perfect for the weather. The loaded guac was really good and good value. The chicken tenders were also really good, but at $11 for three of them, I won't get them again.

Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Large selection to choose from.You just feel at home sitting here, the ambience and staff make you feel right at home.Definitely worth the stop if you find yourself on Pearl Street in Boulder. I will be frequenting Next Door often.

Had a wonderful dinner at Next Door!Under new management (and better for it!), they have revamped the menu and it is so great!We got the Crispy Cauliflower, the 14er Club, and the Yojimbo Bowl. All were great, but the Crispy Cauliflower was by far the favorite of the table.Service was incredible - we were greeted outside, greeted inside, mentioned by name, and even had chats with the owner who visited our table. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, this type of service was next level. Shoutout to Olivia who was serving our table - she was on top of everything, gave wonderful recommendations, and even went all out on making us feel welcome.After a previous experience years ago left us feeling lackluster, we are both excited for this revamp and are looking forward to coming back soon!

Just went in to check out the new menu and there were loads of delicious choices! The ambience is super friendly and welcoming and in Tuesdays kids eat free. Cocktails were yummy and service was great! Excited to see this new version of Nextdoor Street Bar on Pearl. Can't wait to bring some friends in to try it!

We were on a college visit from Chicago and found this place on Yelp; chosen for review/stars. It was perfect. Four of us had lunch there with superior service. Calling out our waitress (ASU student) for her great personality and recommendations on what to see while we wait for our tour to start on campus. Five star personality! We had the chicken sandwiches, grilled cheeses and a bowl. Everyone was pleased. The overall cost was standard and not high. We didn't enjoy anything stronger than a Diet Coke so we cannot comment on that.

Food was not worth the $$ Chicken was lost in sauce and fries were salty Noodle samba was terrible with dark meat only and zero flavor; which is hard to do so congrats you nailed a bad tasting ramen. I know, why get ramen in a bar food quality place. But it's cuz we had a puppy and had to sit outside with no working heaters in November and were freezing but you get points for hot water in my soup cuz that's what it tasted like! Vibe--The manager asks if he can close the restaurant door on us--and we are like dude you don't have heaters working and we using your little heat from inside to warm us. There are so many other choices, I don't recommend this place at all. Sorry no pics cuz well they weren't pic worthy!

Ridiculously good food. We ate at the benches outside. The service was fantastic. Highly recommend the Samosa appetizers.

Went into ND Bar as a late afternoon snack. Had excellent service and great food. We enjoyed the Fried Chicken sandwich, a double burger & fries and the Thai salad. Loved the laid back atmosphere and the Stormtroopers everywhere. Great drinks!
Ate outside on a windy afternoon. It took a long time to get service, but it eventually got better. My Peruvian chicken bowl looked a little small, but it actually was plenty of food, and it had really good flavor. My wife thought her vegan burger was pretty good, and my daughter loved her fried chicken sandwich. Fries were crispy and delicious.

Gave this place a try with my teenagers. ND streetBAR is a good and inexpensive option offering a variety of "elevated" bar food. The vegetarian offerings looked so good that I actually opted for those. We had the calamari (really yummy with smoky undertones), the cauliflower bowl, the mushroom tacos, pork bao buns, falafel wrap, and the grilled cheese and tomato soup. While the portions weren't huge, everything was really good, and like I noted above, very reasonably priced. Service was great too! If you are looking for a low-key option on Pearl Street, try ND streetBAR!

We came here on Happy Hour and absolutely loved the hamburger sliders. They are on a Hawaiian role with savory beef and chedder cheese. Recommend the pitcher of draft beer for only $10 during happy hour. Was a fun time!

Great Wednesday happy hour, the 10 dollar pitcher of beer is a great deal. The hamburger sliders are the best I have ever eaten. Highly recommend ND for Wednesday all day happy hour.

As you walk down Pearl Street, you have so many options for food. So, why did we choose this one? Well, It just has a unique style and vibe that stands out. Maybe it is the subtle Star Wars and anime artwork that adorn the walls. Maybe it was the the tables and other decor. Maybe it was the unique menu items. What it was, we were glad that we chose this restaurant. We recommend the sticky pork buns and grilled cheese/tomato soup combo. This definitely is a restaurant that we would return to.
