Next Door is a small bar on Riddiford Street in Newtown, Wellington, rated 4.9 on Google from 21 reviews. It takes walk-ins only, and customers mention the cocktails, a friendly bartender and a cosy neighbourhood feel.
A small neighbourhood bar works well as a stop before dinner, or as a place to wait for a table nearby. Walk-in bars often fill quickly on busy nights, so arriving early or going on a weekday can make the visit easier. Bartenders who take time with cocktails can make a big difference to the evening. Many regulars come back for the friendly feel rather than one special drink.
For people in Newtown who want a relaxed drink close to a good meal, this Riddiford Street bar is worth a visit.
