Next Door

Next Door Speakeasy & Raw Bar is a hidden cocktail gem in East Boston, accessed through Pazza on Porter, an adjacent Italian restaurant at 107 Porter Street. Entry involves passing through an arched wooden doorway with a peephole and door knocker, leading to a private, dimly lit lounge with deep sea-inspired décor featuring moody blues, velvet banquettes, and rich wood paneling. The intimate venue was opened by restaurateurs Raffaele Scalzi and Mivan Spencer with beverage director Josue Castillo curating an imaginative cocktail menu paired with a refined food selection. The speakeasy atmosphere offers exclusivity and romance without pretense, located just steps from the Maverick T stop on the Blue Line, creating an enchanting escape within East Boston's dining landscape.
