Serving cocktails with character, Novela is a book-themed bar where classic literary references present themselves in new and intriguing ways. From our chromatically classified book collection, to the names of our house cocktails which are taken from characters in beloved literary works, Novela offers a compelling and elegant ambiance that juxtaposes classic with contemporary design. The atmosphere lends itself to get-togethers of all kinds; from lively post-work mixers, to first dates, and birthday celebrations. The cocktail and punch programs are seasonally living, and expertly crafted by our talented bar staff. Together we create a menu filled with original house libations and historically inspired punches-on-tap.

"This is a solid low-key local bar. The happy hour deal ($2 off before 7pm) is pretty good too. Most recently, I tried the Pull for Entry cocktail, which tasted like a Moscow mule with..."
