The people behind an Italian restaurant in East Boston are opening a new cocktail bar.
According to an article from Eater Boston, the Pazza on Porter folks plan to open Next Door, a speakeasy-style spot that will be a bit more "upscale and sophisticated" than traditional speakeasies and will indeed be next door to the Porter Street restaurant. The post mentions that the bar will have a hidden entrance, with the secret door having a sliding window where customers give their reservation before entering the place. Expect to find small plates, charcuterie and cheese boards, and raw bar items at Next Door, along with a variety of cocktails.
If all goes as planned, Next Door will open in early November.
The address for Next Door is 103 Porter Street, East Boston, MA, 02128. Its website is at https://www.nextdooreastie.com/
[March 30, 2022 update: According to its website, Next Door is now open in East Boston (Thursday through Sunday only, at least for now).]
