Stopped in yesterday, Friday for some live music @ 3:00. To my surprise @ about 20 to 3:00 Chris &…read moreMike were already playing!! The acts are set up just inside the door, nice! I liked how thoughtful Next Stop is of their acts; there are about three guitar stands attached to the wall behind where the musicians set up. I sat @ the table just inside the door. As most bars nearly all tables are hi-top, there was one standard height table w six or eight chairs near the middle of the bar. I felt this was the Townie Bar....full w a bunch of chill, kind folk. I didn't take a picture but there was a laminated sign on my table: For food and drink service please see the bartender. I was pleasantly surprised when everyone stepped out during the music break when the lovely bartender passed by, she stopped to ask if I needed anything? Very kind, as I can read and I knew the request. The bar was pretty full but not squished in like sardines full, nor loud. They have a parking lot, not a lot of spaces, so you just park along the edge/grass of the lot and all is peachy. I enjoyed that a couple few of the regulars ended up moving to the table next to me and danced for a lot of the gig! They were kind and lively ladies! The music was great, the environment comfortable and welcoming, the people friendly and attentive and friendly service; I definitely don't see this being my last visit. I didn't see anything on their social media or website and didn't ask yesterday to find out what's with the fireman theme? I really like it... look up, helmets make some of the light fixtures and there are figurine type things on the higher bar shelves. Next Stop Bar thanks for a fun and memorable inaugural visit, you've definitely made a fan and hopefully a repeat customer out of me, cheers!

This place has a really down to earth vibe, the waitress is quite nice and there's good music.

**Extremely Disappointing Experience**…read more I am extremely disappointed by my experience at this restaurant. I ordered the Korean Chicken Bowl it didn't taste like chicken. I specifically asked the waitress she assured me that what I was ordering was chicken. I asked several people in my party to try the meat because I was concerned it did not taste like chicken. They all believed it was pork, yet the waitress deny that it was pork. I brought the meal home and had someone else try it, and they also said it was pork. At that point, I called the restaurant and spoke directly with the manager. I explained exactly what had happened and, more importantly, explained that I have dietary restrictions and had specifically asked about the meat before eating it. What was most disturbing was the manager's complete lack of concern. There was no meaningful apology, no apparent concern about the fact that I may have been served something I specifically asked not to receive, and no effort to make the situation right. I even told him that, because of this experience, I would not be returning--and his response made it clear that he simply didn't care. Mistakes can happen at any restaurant. What matters is how a business responds when a customer brings a serious concern to its attention\. In this case, I was extremely disappointed by both the food and the complete lack of accountability and customer care. As a local resident I will not be returning and making this mistake again. There are plenty of other choices, leave this place for the one time tourists.

Cocktail menu has the classics and inventive new takes! Haven't had a bad drink from this spot in many a visit! Can't wait to see what they mix up next!

Upon arriving, we…read moreentered the door and descended dimly lit stairs, then passed through a stone hallway to reach the entrance. The wait at the table was longer than we anticipated but luckily for us, there were some bar seats available. The bartender at the moment was Cameron. He gave us the rundown on the food and drinks and made several recommendations. We started off the evening with the Don Corlone. It was very tasty and also an Andorran Martini. Both drinks were delightful and were semi-sweet but not too sweet. The mixture of the Don Corlione had a perfect blend of citrus and sweetness. We then ordered the pastry puff poppers and they were amazing. The sauce complemented the pastry puffs and the filling left you wanting more. To finish the night we ordered tiramisu, cheesecake, and some bubbles. Thank you Cameron for the amazing service and experience we hope to be back again soon.

It wasn't all that busy, roughly three staff members in and out behind the bar inclusive of an employee who was working on a sangria mix? Pre made cocktail mix? Not sure but he was putting something together the majority of the time I was in. I digress. It wasn't just myself and guest who experienced the slow service, there was another group at the end of the bar that had to ask multiple times for their tab to multiple employees. On to the food: -I went with the Royale Smash Burger, which was quite tasty and honestly, the seasoning of the burger and the cheese stood so strong on their own I wish I didn't have the tomato and pickles in hindsight. Really great burger! -the side fries were solid and seasoned perfectly! -the onion rings we split was surprisingly the opposite. No real taste to the batter, came out not super hot, and really soggy. The exact opposite of the side fries and honestly, wish we'd skipped on them. Overall, the service kind of killed the experience, the burger was solid, and I'd skip the onion rings. There's some decent spots in Stillwater and this place always seems super busy this was the first chance I had to stop in and... not sure with the other options I'd jump to go back. Perhaps it was just an off service/off afternoon?

Maybe we just had a bad server but he was really bad, insulting, got the order wrong so he could get through the task faster, just not what I've come to expect there. Also it was a way younger and antsier seeming crowd than I expected, which wasn't odd since most other places downtown had someone at the door checking IDs that night. Probably one to avoid until the summer season
