The Bar Next Door

"Great curds, great burger, good grilled chicken sandwich. I loved the use of Stella's spicy cheese roll for the bun. Good ranch for a dipping sauce. VERY reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. App, two sandwiches, a beer, and a pop cost us $48 after tax. Busy place on a Friday night, good atmosphere and friendly bartenders. The music was also all great 80s and 90s rock/alt music. We will be back!"

"Bar next door has the best chicken sandwich, it is delicious, and I've tried many chicken sandwiches. Chad the manager is friendly and makes you feel welcome always!"

"Never did I expect that a restaurant attached to a Super 8 hotel in Windsor would be worth recommending--but The Bar Next Door completely changed my mind! This hidden gem delivers exceptional food, great service, and a unique atmosphere that rivals any standalone restaurant in town. The smash burgers are packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and downright addictive. The Reuben eggrolls are a creative twist that you must try, and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich hits the perfect balance of heat and flavor. The vibe? Think high-end dive bar with a modern twist--welcoming, stylish, and perfect for a casual night out or a special bite to eat. If you're searching for the best bar food in or around DeForest or Windsor, a place with a fun atmosphere, or a local restaurant near Super 8 worth visiting, this is it. The Bar Next Door will exceed your expectations on every level. Highly recommend!"

""Best burger ever" seems like a strong statement but I am really struggling to remember better. Odd location but it reminds me of 3 Brothers in Madison which is now closed. Don't want to sound like I'm exaggerating but I would say they also had the best fries I've ever had. I can't wait to go back and try other items but it's going to be hard to pass up another smash burger."

"Great food and service. The smash burger was perfectly seared and still juicy. And the hand-cut truffle fries were crispy, fluffy, and so delicious as was the hot Nashville chicken. Our server was great and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend heading to this unassuming place connected to the Super 8."

"It's true, this place is a hidden gem. Smashburger is pretty darn good and I'd recommend the truffle fries to go with it. Ahi tuna was a perfect app to start off with too. Great friendly service to go along with the tasty food."

"Nice hole in the wall. We had drinks and apps that were delicious, and the bar keep was on top of his game. Return visit exceeded the first. We had dinner this round. It was fantastic. The menu is limited, but every item is done above and beyond expectations."
