Pub By Novo

Super funky little spot in a little strip mall. Certainly not what you would expect in this location. Eclectic menu with something for everyone! Was surprised to find such a gem here! Try it out!

I am working in the area, so I stopped in for dinner at the suggestion of a local friend. This is an upscale sports bar if that can happen. Sports bar feel with an elevated menu. The vibe feels a little weird with the music choices compared to a sports bar atmosphere.I had a local beer, White Squirrel West Coast IPA and the Bang Bang Chicken to start the evening. Everything was very good. Thanks to the bartender that recommended the Bang Bang Chicken.I watched the 3 bartenders make cocktails and by luck of the draw I did not get the bartender I wanted to prepare my last cocktail of the evening.I tried the Prohibition Old Fashioned. The bartender I wanted to make it, was not the one that actually made it and it showed. There is one rockstar bartender in there this evening and unfortunately she did not make my Old Fashioned.I would come back and give it another try.

We had a great meal here! We came with a big group after going to a WKU basketball game. My brother in law had been here before and very highly recommended it. We were with a big group of around 10. It took a good while to get a table, so see if you can make a reservation. My brother in law could not stop talking about the pub nachos, so much so that he got them as an entree. I wanted to see for myself so I ordered them as an appetizer for the table. The hype is real, they were really great nachos. For my entree I got the slinger burger, since everything about it sounded great. I upgraded to truffle fries. I would not get this if I were to come back. I didn't love the chili on the burger, I thought it was way too overpowering, especially for it being wagyu meat that I wanted to taste. Also, this is my fault, but when I read "chili" on the menu idk why I thought of a pepper, like a chili pepper, and was disappointed when I saw chili chili (again, my fault). The fries also were a waste of an upgrade and money. They were below the burger and mountain of chili, completely masking the subtle truffle taste. The staff up front was alright, not sure if they especially cared about us, or listened when we were trying to simplify their job and get us in and out. That being said, we came on a Saturday evening and it was pretty busy, so I am sure they were doing their best. The atmosphere is industrial, with lots of TVs with sports on, like an elevated sports bar. I'd still come back, but I would be more careful about my order.

Great wedge salad; my partner was less thrilled with the southern burger, because he didn't realize it involves pimento cheese! LOLService was exceptional, considering that the place was packed, there were bowl games, and everyone was drinking; I give it a solid 4.5...

The spicy chicken sandwich is intense- it is not a spicy flavor but like drowning in straight hot sauce. Was said to see they offer did you need any ranch to then charge for it- better to ask would you like to add which would better imply a fee. The $4 dollar up charge for the seasoning on fries is also too much. Overall a good restaurant it one that has owners that charge to much in fees for small items.

Our waiter was very helpful, and the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend to anyone stopping by Bowling Green.

Love - Love -Love this place!My BlackBerry Lemonade was awesome (had 2, but I wasn't driving ), food was great, service was spot on and patio dining exactly what we were looking for this afternoon's late lunch. I do like seafood and always look to see what might be on the menu and it was a no brainer to get the Lobster Flatbread AND Shrimp & Grits for my husband & I. Both were amazing and our golden loved his grilled chicken breast. We had excellent service. So, awesome weather for patio dining - great food - awesome service. What's not to like?

Great spot for delicious food in Bowling Green. We were there visiting the Corvette Museum and had to stop here at Novo. We sat at the bar and hung out, talking and meeting people. The place has friendly clientele and staff. We ordered appetizers, which were delicious. Drinks were made perfect and served timely. Will definitely go back when we go to Bowling Green again.

Excellent atmosphere, music was loud but not blaring. Cute place! Our server was very sweet and took care of me & my husband, very attentive! I ordered two brisket tacos, quite tasty. Hubby ordered shrimp tacos, he said they were a 4/5 due to the fact it was deep-fried shrimp and only two pieces in each taco. He said flavor was great but the batter became clammy due to the lime juice.We have a fast food place near our hometown that does the VERY BEST shrimp tacos you've ever eaten with fresh shrimp, and tons of cabbage and cilantro. It would be cool if they'd take a page out of their book and at least go the fresh shrimp route. I think they'd be far more enjoyable.Table was terribly sticky but other than that, place was very clean! Bathrooms were decent too.I also ordered a (seasonal) caramel appletini.WAY too much whiskey, so strong it felt like a punch to the mouth LOL! A black Cherry vodka seltzer made up for it tho. Prices are higher than what we're used to paying but was willing to since it was our anniversary.After we ate, we sat at the bar for about 30min while I finished my drink and the bartender was very nice and accommodating.Food overall 4/5Atmosphere 5/5Music 3/5Service 5/5Cleanliness 4.5/5Pricing 3/5

Food and drinks were good! Nice patio place to sit outside. Accommodated kids nicely.
