Novo Brazil Brewing

I stopped by Novo Brazil Brewing in Imperial Beach and had a great experience. The vibe is relaxed with plenty of open space and fresh air. You can see the water nearby which makes it a perfect place to hang out on a sunny afternoon. The food surprised me in a good way. The burger was juicy and the fries were crispy, and the beer selection really stands out. They have a wide variety and the staff helped me choose something that fit what I usually like. The service was friendly. Our waitress made sure everything was good and checked in without hovering. It gave the whole visit a comfortable feel. I’d definitely come back with friends or family. This place feels like a local spot that’s easy to enjoy.

Novo on Imperial is my go to, every time we go she makes us feel like where in our own back yard enjoying drinks and delicious food her smile always brings a smile to ours definitely will continue to spread the word and keep coming back!!!

Popped in for a burger on the back half of a 50 mile bike ride. Really enjoyed the Novo Burger and and fries. Big selection of beverages to choose from and I really enjoyed the kombucha. Nice patio to enjoy the sun and food and drinks. Highly recommend trying this place out of you’re in the area.

Is one of my favorite places, this location offer more than a beautiful view. The food is amazing, personally I highly recommend fish and chips, onion rings with jalapeño dressing are amazing, in addition you can find the best hamburgers here it comes with a crispy fries. Honestly I always bring my family here when they visit us. Jorge (the manager) is a really kind person and he is always aware if you need something.

My husband and I like to bike the strand from the Coronado beach park lot. Our reward is a stop at Novo Brazil Brewing Company located in Imperial Beach .This pic is my recent lunch and I paired it with mango and mint kombucha. I have had burgers ( delicious), chicken and tacos but my summer go to is one of their salads. My husband’s fave is the macaroni and cheese ( check it out) with their homemade sausage, and he loves the kombucha that has a bit of jalapeño. We took home a variety pack to try more flavors. Cannot miss! Super nice staff as well.

Came here with a large business party on a reservation during Friday lunch. The place was not busy at all. We ended up taking one of the large counter tables outside. We were either standing or sitting on the stools. People in our group continued to trickle in, but everyone was able to order individually when they were ready. During my visit, I ordered a Kombucha flight, Sweet Potato Fries, and Fish & Chips. The Kombucha flight was good, being able to taste four different brews they had. The Sweet Potato Fries was really good, having good seasoning and cook on it. The Fish & Chips were okay. The fish was cooked really well, but just needed some seasoning. The fries it came with were good. My colleague ordered Carne Asada Nachos. It was good, but missing some flavor. Sitting out, cold water was self-service. The service was really good and attentive. Our main waitress was always around checking on us and taking orders with a friendly interaction and smile. Our orders were quickly brought out that I noticed. Parking is free with a handful slots designated for Nova and there is street parking in the area. I would come back to try other food and drinks.

Great brewery near the bike path with lots of different beers, kombucha, and food. I stumbled upon this place while biking and instantly fell in love. I enjoyed sitting outside with a beautiful view and tried their hard kombucha.

After a scenic bike ride from the Coronado Ferry Bike Path to Chula Vista, we stopped by Novo Brewing Imperial Beach and were thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere was lively, and the outdoor seating area was perfect for enjoying a cold beer on a warm day. The food menu offered a variety of tasty options, including burgers, tacos, and sandwiches. Novo Brewing's craft beers many choices and a wide range of styles to choose from, we enjoyed sampling a few different options. ## Overall Experience Our experience at Novo Brewing Imperial Beach was fantastic. The combination of great food, excellent craft beers, and a welcoming atmosphere made for a perfect stop after our bike ride.

A very hidden San Diego Gem hidden in Imperial Beach! Indoor and outdoor door area with plenty of room to accommodate multiple parties. Monday through Friday HAPPY hour from 1200 to 6 pm. 10/10 would recommend!

Awesome location with amazing customer service and friendly staff. Big shout out to George for helping us out with the menu choices, we will definitely be back.

10/10. Enough said. But for those who need more convincing, here you go. We hosted a baby shower this past weekend and everything was perfect. The staff made the entire process completely stress free, from the weeks preparing to the day of event (with an expected ~100 guests). Sergio and Edwin were extremely detailed, helpful, and patient when it came to planning the layout, setup, buffet, and all other needs. During the party, Jimmy, Jaime, and Vienna were so kind, professional, and accommodating to ensure everyone had a great time. The food and venue speak for themselves. The buffet table was presented beautifully and everything was delicious. Novo’s indoor/outdoor atmosphere overlooking the bay across the San Diego Skyline is something you can’t get at any other Novo location. We had countless friends and family compliment the venue and ask about hosting events in the future. A big thank you to Novo IB and their incredible staff for a perfect day.

Love this place. Go every time we take a bike ride on the bay. We always get the Hazy and something fun. Today I had the Cali Burrito-delicious. We had a burger, a steak salad, the wings, chips and salsa/guacamole and the fish. Everything was delicious. Service is spectacular Alejandra is so sweet and helpful.

First time at Novo, and from the moment I walked in I was greeted with smiles and genuine care. A special shoutout to the beautiful waitress, Samantha. She treated me with so much respect and kindness, and showed incredible patience while explaining the menu. You can clearly see she loves what she does… she’s great at it. Overall, an awesome experience.

Alejandra Aguilar provided an amazing experience at Novo. She was a fantastic server—very attentive, kind, and professional throughout our entire visit. She always had a warm smile on her face and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish. Alejandra was always checking on us and was more than happy to help with anything we needed. Her service truly stood out and made our time at Novo even better. Excellent service all around—highly recommend!🥰🥰

We stopped here while biking the Bay Shore bike path, what a perfect location. Lots of bike racks, huge outdoor sitting area. You can bring your kids/ dogs. There is a play area for the kids, you can have special events - baby/wedding showers, birthday parties, etc. There were 2 baby showers the day we were there, so cool to see parents with their kids and the kids all playing together while parents can relax and enjoy themselves. Such a great concept for families, bikers, walkers and anyone who wants to socialize. Well done.

Held a group event here and had a great time!! There is plenty of space for people to sit inside or outside. Our coordinator, Alejandra, was really responsive, flexible and helpful from planning to everything we needed day-of. The pricing for our group was also very reasonable. Overall would highly recommend for a large group event!

Great place to enjoy sports games, variety of beer. Nachos poke and poke bowls are really good.

Buffalo wings and cheese balls were delicious. Had the Hot Cactus kombucha, which was surprisingly good. Nice outdoor seating area that’s adult and kid friendly with great views of the bay. Service was exceptionally slow to come by and see if I needed anything.

Nice sports bar/restaurant with multiple large screens to watch multiple sporting events. Lots of indoor seating and also a very large patio. Family friendly with a nice view. Only got to sample their potato croquet and two types of kombucha. They're ok. Nothing special, IMO. I really enjoyed the ambience. Perfect location to hang out to watch the game or just relax and enjoy a drink.

Don’t bother using OpenTable. There’s no host to check you in or bother to ask you your reservation. Staff is nice but slow. Food is mid at best. All the food I tried that was “Brazilian” was stale and not especially Brazilian. Drinks are good. Go there if you want space, a nice view and a sporty atmosphere. Edited to add: the three high chairs we grabbed were also broken.
