About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Lively
Charming

Next Door is Cayman's well-loved classic cocktail bar, which offers classic cocktails, light bites, and live entertainment.
Behind its doors, large mirror-adorned walls, art-deco brass accented design accents, and low moody lighting add to the opulent yet welcoming atmosphere.

Our signature cocktail menu utilizes herbal ingredients traditionally used as healing elements in Caymanian Bush medicine for generations - from soursop to fever grass, dandelion root, and more.

We are excited to continue working with local farmers and herbalists to learn and utilize the flora that is native to the island and to tell the story of its value in the community

Next Door opened in August 2021 and quickly secured a nomination for Best New International Cocktail Bar for Tales of the Cocktail 2022 for the Latin American and Caribbean Region.

Next Door is located in Camana Bay right "Next Door" to their award-winning Agua Restaurant.

My wife and I went on a Thursday night with a Jazz Trio playing. The band was great and the place has a very cool vibe. There are lots of cocktails options and the staff is very friendly. I would definitely recommend for a fun night out.

The advertised happy hour snacks were a tiny bowl of soggy nuts and another tiny bowl of 4 stale potato chips. My wife ordered a Paloma cocktail and it was horrible. We did not drink it and the server never asked us about it. Too bad. This place used to be really good.
Next DoorResponded on 8 January 2025
Hi Conrad, Thank you for your review -- I'm so sorry to hear that this was your experience! We noted with our kitchen that the complimentary Aperitivo snacks were not up to par -- no one wants to receive or serve soggy snacks. And as a classic cocktail, your Paloma should've been delicious, not disappointing. I've already followed up with staff to dial that in and to be more diligent in checking in on guests as this experience could've been easily fixed! Please let me know if you decide to stop in again, so that we can show you what our guest's usual experience at Next Door has been and to apologize in person. We don't want this to be the flavor left in your mouth. Thank you again for your feedback.
