What User likes about Novela:
Mango Rum $14Jay Gatsby $15Storm Light $15Chardonnay $14Marinated Olives $6Charcuterie Board $22I recently went to my first fantasy bar and it was a fun experience. My friends and I all enjoyed our drinks and the vibes. I would recommend you if you were in SF... Your seats and decor are really sweet. Service was a little slow, they didn't really check on us, but others than that it was Vibey. View all feedback. What Kent Santin doesn't like about Novela:
Fun environment with good seating lounging, heads up there is fairly loud music. Good cocktails, with a wide selection of base spirits. They also have what looks like a decent amount of food options. Reasonable prices for SF. Service is quite slow took over 15m to get a waiter both times I wanted to order a cocktail. View all feedback.
