The food and drinks are good! The chicken sandwich is my favorite so far and is very flavorful and balanced! The drinks and food is fairly priced and the service is good. There's 1 pool table, 2 darts, gambling machines and pull tabs.

Finally made it to The Bar Next Door in Windsor last Saturday night! Located right next to the Super 8, and it was BUSY! Cheese curds and Smash Burger were on point/delicious. Drink prices were reasonable and service was friendly and efficient! We will definitely return for the Jersey Disco Fries!

When we pulled up and saw this place attached to a Super 8, I almost told my GPS to apologize and take me somewhere safer. 😂 From the outside, it screams “sketchy motel bar where bad decisions are made.” But once you walk in… wow. This might be the greatest plot twist in Wisconsin dining history.
The Smashburgers? Absolute perfection—crispy edges, juicy middle, flavor that makes you question every other burger you’ve eaten. The appetizers? Dangerous, because you’ll be full before the burger even arrives (but you’ll still eat the whole burger, trust me).
This is legit some of the best bar food I’ve ever had, and I’ve been around the block. Five stars all day. Don’t let the Super 8 fool you—this is a hidden gem worth the sketchy entrance.

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!

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!

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.

We had 2 appetizers, 4 meals (2 side upgrades), a cocktail and 3 fountain drinks all for under $100. Great atmosphere and customer service. We will be back!

If you're ever in Windsor/Deforest area and are hungry, check out Bar Next Door that opens at 3. Stopped there today after Jordy and Easton's baseball game. Side salad $4 had fresh greens, oranges, apples, red onion, cherry tomatoes, candied walnuts and really good vinegrette. Hot Nashville chicken sandwich and fries $13.50. Really good!
I should have mentioned first that their service is excellent!

I've been trying my hardest to keep this place a secret because I'm selfish and want it all to myself. But everyone should know about this gem. Culinarily on another level. We had the mussels, Ruben egg rolls, banh mi with truffle fries, and charred green beans. I'm trying to recreate those beans at home - total knockout!
The service was impeccable for a crazy busy service. All the charm and authenticity of a true dive and all the yums and fun without the pretention.

We went on a Thursday night and the bar was busy but not too bad. Started with a great Bloody Mary (but surprisingly no chaser.)
Our waitress was very attentive and explained the menu so well.
We split the Reuben egg rolls which were crispy and filled with corned beef. Absolutely delicious.
My husband had the smash burger and fries and I went with the grilled chicken sandwich that is served on Stella’s spicy cheese bread. IYKYK. I upgraded to the truffle fries with garlic aioli and was so happy I did.
The menu isn’t huge but when you offer such quality, it doesn’t have to be.
Can’t wait to go back!

Showed up right when they opened for the day. We were the first folks in but it filled up quickly.
The bartender was kind and helped us right away. I ordered the Elvis burger and my buddy went with the original smash burger. I was very happy with my food. The fires were awesome, too. My buddy liked his smash burger, but thought it was dry and lacked seasoning or anything that would make it stand out. All in all the food was good and the service was resonable. I'll be back for more!

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!!!!!!!!!!!

Food was astronomical (Truffle Fries with Garlic Anolie- WOWZA!!!) and service was ahhhhmaaazeballs (thank you, Chad & Tammy - you ROCK'd it 💕).

I got the grilled chicken burger with truffle fries. The toppings on the chicken burger were really good and flavorful. The chicken itself had little seasoning. The chicken wasn't dry at all, which is great—just not very flavorful.
The truffle fries were not my favorite, but that is because I personally do not like truffle fries. I'm sure they were amazing.
The service was really good. Two of the people in my party shared a burger that had bacon on it and they asked for the bacon on the side. When their order came, the burger still had bacon on it.
So the server said they would remake their entree for them. Super cool.

This place is incredible, and it's all the better for being tucked away in the first floor of a super 8. What this team has done in terms of combining a local spot with great food and drink is incredible. The attention to detail really shows how much they care about doing it right. I got the Elvis and my wife got the regular smash burger. The fries were some of the best I've had. Mike was able to tell what our id order off the bar (Eagle Rare at $8.50) by smell of an empty glass. Megan,who seems to be a regular, was my wife and my BFF for the night. The ahi tuni looked incredible. I just don't know how many more positive things I could say. This place is deceptively superlative even if we watched the Brewers wash out of the playoffs again. Cannot say enough.

Went for the first time this past Friday night. When we got there it was very crowded. We found one table with three stools (there were 4 of us). The manager saw us and quickly found us another stool. He told us it would be less crowded in 20 minutes because there was a large pre-game group there. The service was good and the food was great. Staff was very busy but in control. The smash burger was so good that we want to go back again soon. And BTW...they have good gluten free options, (buns, bread, pita). Would highly recommend!!

The Rueben egg rolls and Russian dressing - G Damn delicious.
Elvis smash burger with truffle fries - can't find better fries within miles. Obviously double-fried.
The level of detail and hard work that went into even the simple things on the menu show you they really care about the product they put out. Wish I could give it 10 stars.

Had cheese curds, the Elvis Jam Burger, and fries. The cheese curds were pretty greasy but otherwise had good taste, fries were good, but the burger was just ok. Burgers are my favorite food, and this one didn't land anywhere near the top for me.
I don't live nearby and went there today specifically cause I had heard a lot of good things. I'll probably give it another try if I am ever in the area, but won't make it my intentional destination as it didn't stand out to me that much.

We're new to the area and have been trying out local establishments, looking for a good spot for a cold refreshment and good food. We've been to The Bar Next Door a couple of times now (once for the end of a Badger's FB game and again just on a Friday night). The staff was friendly, and the service, food, and drinks were pretty good. The smash burger and the meatball sandwich have been our favorites so far. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Recommended.

I would call this an upscale dive bar. Essentially a traditional bar environment with amazing food. Limited menu but delicious. Nothing fancy about the atmosphere and every staff member was super. Definitely stop in your way through. If we were local we'd probably be regulars.

If this place were any more hidden, it’d be a speakeasy. While it may be nestled in a Super 8 motel and surrounded by a truck stop and fast food restaurant, don’t let the location fool you - The Bar Next Door is well worth a visit. The food is fantastic (all of it - everything on the menu!), the staff are friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is inviting and warm.

John at the bar is s friend of mine. He serves me my drinks for free. He’s good with a joke or to light up my smoke but there’s somewhere he’d rather be.

Serviced sucked. Derek was the worst. To busy standing talking and not waiting on his tables.

Fantastic place! One of the best I’ve been able to visit frequently in my travels! Nick is the best! The good is so tasty and quite unique options they have on their menu for this area!
Billiards, darts, great music! Nice amount of area for dining and they are family friendly!
Definitely make sure to stop by every time I come through town and have even gone out if my way to stop by and say hello to the locals and workers! I love this bar!!!

This truly is a hidden gem! My new favorite local watering hole! Great food, drinks & service! Menu choices are delicious with great flavor combos and quality ingredients. Who knew Stella’s bakery makes their spicy cheese bread into burger buns?!?! Yummmm!!
