Novo Brazil Brewing

A new location in Mission Valley! Not too busy on a Thursday evening. I came to celebrate a friend's birthday and made a reservation prior. There were people in there watching the soccer game on the huge high-quality TVs.Service is pretty quick and food and drinks were pretty good:- Sirloin (pichanha) con fritas -- pretty delish, comes out sizzling hot with ketchup and ranch. Quite filling and pairs great with the drinks- Picanha skewer -- their steak is really good and juicy! Comes with rice and black beans, which were very flavorful- Nova Sexy Mojito Hard Kombucha - got a half pint of this and it was nice and refreshing, definitely can taste the lime and mint flavors- Novo Sour Michelada - made the sour a michelada for a few extra dollars. Unless you're a fan of sour flavors, the sour beer might not be the best choice since the michelada rim is already sour. But a michelada would be really tasty with any light beer, though it didn't look like they had too many light options with most being IPAs.

Service is terrible over 1 hour to order a drink ! Still have not received it ! Hire faster bar tenders or more people . Ignored 5 times , when someone was about to take our order they honked a horn and they left . Very disappointed :( . Just trying to have a fun time on a Sunday with friends . Ignored time and time again this is hands down worst service ever. Any bar in the world would be better than Novo and Ps. Your beer and kombuchas suck .

A much better replacement for the Tilted Kilt! I love that this Mission Valley mall is getting such great food options to offset all the traditional chain restaurants here. There are so many things to love about Novo. The brewery has a great open space with seating both inside and outside. The outside patio is perfect for a sunny San Diego day and the large tables provide a great space for big group gatherings. Novo has some solid food and drink options. What I love most are their kombuchas. The kombuchas are excellent! They don't have that acidic taste that can happen with a store bought can and they have such a wide variety of flavors. I enjoyed the peachy lychee, which was excellent. During happy hour, they have some specials including cheap half portion apps and a number of their beers and kombuchas for a lower price. Without the happy hour, the prices are pretty high! That's the only downside. Appreciate that they were able to separate our checks easily and service was great.

Novo Brazil in the Westfield Mission Valley Mall took over the space once held by Tilted Kilt. The layout is very spacious with ample seating for small groups to large groups. Bar seating and outdoor seating is also available. As a big fan of Novo Kombucha I was excited to dine at their establishment for lunch. I relished in the fact that they have a large selection of kombucha in which I got a flight as there are many flavors I have yet to try. My flight was delicious and I highly recommend getting it as it allows you to sample their abundant selection. Service was great and prompt as the staff frequently checked on us. As far as the food, I was surprised how pricey selections were considering the menu didn't have any standouts. The happy hour menu was not a good deal at all as we were comparing the regular price of an item and calculated it was cheaper to get the regular menu item. Happy Hour items should be a deal or at least cheaper in some way to make it seem like the customer is getting a good deal.

I checked out this spot on Thursday evening with my fiancé - there is so much space for seating at the bar, indoors, and outdoors. Plus event hosting space and several TVs to create a fun experience for groups.We sat at the bar and enjoyed catching some sports games on TV over our meal. The yucca fries were delicious, and great to round out our meals with a burrito and wrap. I was excited to try more kombucha flavors, as I first fell in love with Nova's pina colada flavor at the SD Wave games. My favorite is still pina colada but the watermelon mint is great too.The service was also awesome - we were greeted by servers when we walked in who told us to seat ourselves. Our server at the bar was also attentive and helpful as we made our choices. All in all - a great spot for dinner and drinks!

Came here on a Friday night for drinks with my boyfriend because we had been to the one in Chula Vista and it was pretty nice over there. But this one is so much closer to us and we had a good time! We made a reservation just in case but when we got there they had a sign that said to seat ourselves so we did. There's lots of seating and it's very spacious here. Bunch of tvs all around the place playing sports. It took only a few minutes for a server to come give us waters and take our orders which I was kind of worried about since we had sat ourselves.The only thing that had me down was that they don't sell spirits here yet because they're recently open so they're still waiting on their liquor license. The CV location had margaritas that was super delicious so I was looking forward to that but our lovely server (wish I could remember her name) helped me pick out a drink I would like. I told her I don't like kombucha, beer, or wine, and that I prefer cocktails but since they don't have liquor yet she recommended I get the dragonfruit kombucha because it's quite sweet and that their kombucha tastes better than others. She even offered a free taster of it and she was right! I did really enjoy my drink and my boyfriend enjoyed his POG kombucha though we were confused on what made it green hahaWe also got the carne asada fries and the cilantro sour cream was so creamy and soooo yum! Wish there were more pieces of meat but I loved how melted the cheese was!Can't wait to come back once they get their liquor license!

Novo Brazil Brewing has opened a new branch at the Mission Valley Mall where a defunct chain sports bar and grill had stood empty for years. The location was on the south side of the complex facing I-8, but it was awkward as the suite was almost recessed in an internal corner. Plenty of parking was available in the lot because the former Macy's next door remains vacant so there were no neighboring large businesses. The inside space was vast with tables spaced well apart and numerous flat screens showing sports programming.The menu was spread across four pages with a lot of standard bar fare but also some Brazilian-based items. Happy hour was from 3 to 6 pm on Monday through Thursday. Seven appetizers were discounted by 50% while all beer, wine, and kombucha on draft were $2 off. Speaking of appetizers, I noticed that all of the starters cost at least $10. Chips and guacamole at $10 and regular french fries at $14 were expensive.I decided on the Picanha Skewer for an entree. Four cubes of prime sirloin were cooked medium rare on a skewer with red onions and bell peppers. White rice and black beans with sausage came as side dishes with the order. The meat was cooked just right while the sides were decent. Since I passed on a starter, I picked the Molten Cake for dessert. A small, warm chocolate cake round was topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was okay but pricey for the serving size.The service on the night of my visit during the soft opening was interesting because there were clearly more servers than customers. Multiple times I had waitstaff stop by and ask if I needed anything even though they were not assigned to my table. I think they were antsy and looking to keep busy, but their attempts to help became disruptive. Overall, I gave my experience at Novo Brazil Brewing a 3.5 star rating.

What a bright spot in the Mission Valley mall! We came on MLK day right before some big game and were able to find a seat right away. The atmosphere is super open and airy and there are tons of TVs. Shortly after we seated ourselves a server approached us with menus. We tried the following: -Wings with beer mustard: needed salt and could've been crispier, but not too bad. -Mediterranean chicken bowl: super tender and juicy chicken with hummus, olives, pearl couscous, basmati rice, kale, tomatoes and hummus. I'd definitely order again, but I'd sub the rice for more kale, since it already has starch with the couscous. -Chicken sandwich: this was a big juicy chicken filet with bacon, cheese and veggies. It also came with seasoned fries. It was tasty, but nothing new here. My hubby also had some kombucha, which was good, but a tad flat. Overall, for their 4th day of operations, it was very good! The only thing that was odd was that the food came out at different times (my bowl came first, then the wings and chicken sandwich came later), but again, really solid opening and I'm excited to have something new in MV!

Novo Brazil is a very cool new addition to Mission Valley Mall! I stopped by the mall while running errands over the weekend and it was very hard to miss Novo's very visible big screen tv's viewable to all who pass by! They have several locations throughout San Diego but this is the first in the central San Diego locale. Awesome setup with big screen TVs and a wraparound screen on top of the bar! Very very cool. Great sports bar vibes and I enjoyed some playoff football and appetizers at the bar. Great energy in the space, attentive staff, and a very nice menu with happy hour options. Awesome buffalo wings and quite the selection of beers, wines, and hard Kombucha. Will definitely be back to check out more of what Novo Brazil Mission Valley has to offer! Definitely would recommend!

This place is huge! I would definitely come back here and watch another game. Some friends and I went to watch a Padres game and we really liked it. The food was really good, I got carne asada fries. They have beer and hard kombucha, not sure if it's a full bar. I got the dragonfruit hard kombucha it was also pretty good. We had a larger party so we always had two servers checking in on us. There's lots of big screens, plenty of tables inside and on the patio and parking was super easy. Nothing bad to say about my first time here, check it out if you're in Mission Valley :)
