Can't get better service and food in dane county after midnight! No matter who's bartending, Tammy, Derek, Sarah or Kim, it's a great time and will cheer you up!

This was one of the best smash burgers I’ve ever had. I’d recommend this place for sure.

Great smash burger but service can be a touch slow

Ok wow. I'm so happy I was brought here. Friendly service amazing food and a fun atmosphere. This is a bar. This is a bar with elevated food. Small menu. Small because they have perfected everything on the menu. Almost everything is homemade and it's all locally sourced. Staff was super inviting and extremely helpful. Litterly the cheese curds are from NEXT DOOR! I wouldn't be surprised if the motel part shut down and the restaurant stayed. P.S. you don't need ketchup for the fries. The BDN sauce is perfect. I felt bad for asking for it before I tried it.

I have been waiting for quite some time to try a smash burger. Now I understand what all the hype is about.... Sooooo good! Next time, I'm definitely trying the Nashville Chicken. Thomas was the gentleman on the grill and he came out to ask how my food was...5 stars, keep killin' it!

Just found this gem. The food was absolutely amazing! The truffle fries the best fries I have ever had. Great wait staff and fun dive bar vibe. Exactly how they describe it. A must try...your taste buds will explode.

Our first ever visit was on a Friday night around 5:30pm. The place was packed! We learned seating is essentially first come first serve. No worries, we ordered a drink and waited for 2 seats to open up. Was about 10 minutes.

The burger was an absolute delight! The homemade meatballs are super good. Make those into a meatball sub!!

The service was great despite everyone working busting there butts and all staff was super friendly.

I can't wait for our next visit!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously annoyed.....not at The Bar Next Door, but myself. We have lived in Deforest for almost 4 years - and I didn't realize we had this treasure in our backyard until tonight while dining with friends. Food was astronomical (Truffle Fries with Garlic Anolie- WOWZA!!!) and service was ahhhhmaaazeballs (thank you, Chad & Tammy - you ROCK'd it 💕). We have found our new favorite date night hang....just bummed that it took so long for us to discover this fantastic establishment! You will be seeing us again soon! ❤️
