  1. In these times no point to make a bad situation worse but if mr musk chooses to remain in the restaurant business biz he would learn from why next door struggled. It was too cute by half and terrible food. I have always liked hedge row.

  2. disappointing but not really surprising to anyone that visited there, I suspect…should backfill quickly, though. Nice building reno, good location with parking and red line stop.

  3. The Musks are total geniuses.. they know business models like Trump. As they decided there was not a path forward for Next Door.. I know they made the correct calculations and assumptions. Hedge Row is a different beast— very good in every way. We are so lucky to have such a vibrant restaurant scene here in Indy & surrounds… I wish we could keep them all busy.

  4. If someone else takes over the location, please cut down on the noise. I only ate there twice because I couldn’t even hear the person sitting across from me. But even, sadder, the opening of Next Door prompted the demise of Open Society just down the street, which was my favorite neighborhood restaurant with great food and ambiance. Not sure if this was causal or coincidental, but was unfortunate. I wish Open Society could have lived longer.

  5. Wow. We have been frequent customers since they opened – the business is always seemingly full, the food has been delicious with one exception out of numerous visits, and the delivery has always been SUPER fast with food just as excellent. It seems hard to imagine that they will be closing.

    1. They are in 15+ cities with 4+ different restaurant scales…

      Pretty expensive vanity

  6. I found Next Door decent, but never outstanding. Given multiple locations are closing in other states, it seems the business model & food are more of a concern than the Indy location itself. I’m hopeful a better restaurant opens in that spot soon and continues to grow the neighborhood revitalization.
