Great farm to table local restaurant. Vegetarian friendly. Perfect drinks in a welcoming atmosphere. Be sure to check out this local place. -- Dr. Bosley read more

Okay so I have to explain this review because the 3/5 stars is solely because of the atmosphere. We went to dinner here for the first time and the food was AMAZING. Our waitress was VERY good but the "outside" patio was terrible for sound. There was a group of 6 and the sound echoed so badly I couldn't even talk to my boyfriend at all, like I understand BAR Nova but the acoustics were so echoed I couldn't hear my boyfriend order his food and he was sitting right next to me. I didn't expect it to be quiet but we almost left because it was SO. LOUD. I would suggest to the owners to seriously consider some kind of privacy noise blockers or something. Anyways back to the other points. So I ordered the Mac and cheese and it was sooooooo good. The best Mac and cheese I have ever had in my life and I am an avid Mac and cheese lover. The food was so hot we had to wait for it to cool down before we could eat it (we were happy about this) the table and chairs were comfortable and I honestly prefer booths but I wasn't uncomfortable. Overall I did enjoy the food and would return but I wouldn't go again on a Saturday night due to the level of noice and the big inconvenience it provide for my boyfriend and myself. read more

See all

I have to say I'm kind of floored. I think I had what might just be the best meatball sub I have ever had. FULL STOP. I am not exactly sure what made it so good- the fact that finally it was a sub where the meatballs weren't completely killed with garlic? Perhaps it was that the meat was so very tender, but still solid? OR maybe it was the delicious blend of cheese? The great bread? Oh my word. I'm sitting here stuffed and even though I can't fit in another crumb I am already thinking about when to have this again. It is a $14 meatball sandwich folks, and yep. I would order it again in a second and it was worth every delicious penny! read more

Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Had a nice evening out and enjoyed the Brie appetizer very much.

I've been here twice and both times were very nice experiences. Food is fantastic and there's a great beer selection to choose from. The owner is very nice and greeted us when we arrived and when we left. This is a great place to go and have a craft beer without all of the crowds and craziness. You don't feel rushed here and the service is great. I highly recommend the flatbreads! read more

Perfect!!!! Food quality and service both were terrific! Cavetelli were awesome. Wife had grilled-cheese, "best she ever had". Drinks were not skimpy. Don't think twice about visiting this place. read more

Loved this place! Great ambiance, great service, extensive cocktails and wine and beer selection. Loved my house salad and vegetable pizza, but especially loved the mushroom pizza my friend had. Don't miss this place!! read more

Shrimp tacos! They are fantastic, order them every time. Love the deco and the atmosphere. Great bar line up. Will continue to stop in!

Service was great! Attentive and friendly. Had a great meal. Started with the Gin and juice which was refreshing after a day of driving.Husband had the chicken tacos which were really good and I had the house salad which was fresh and awesome and the margherita pizza. All made with fresh ingredients and very tasty. Loved the decor and will definitely stop again on our way through from Wisconsin to the east coast. read more

Honestly, we were looking for a new neighborhood spot and we have finally found it! The service was impressive and the attention to details was "bar none"! We feel like they have our nona's recipes and the best atmosphere. Super clean. Highly recommend 10/10! read more

Moved to Crocker Park last fall, finally getting out and finding the local hot spots. Food and environment is perfect. I was recommended to try their pizza from a friend, but they had a Ruben as the weekly special. Never pass up a special and definitely never turn down a Ruben, it was a 10/10. Looking forward to getting back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Avoid! Place is overpriced and is not up to par. They keep reinventing every couple of years. Service was ok but food was average and over priced read more

Great food, great service, great staff, cool atmosphere nicely remodeled. We will definitely return.

Loved the atmosphere! Excellent customer service, food is DELICIOUS, and the patio is amazing!

Patio is nice and relaxing. The French onion soup was pretty delicious. Was not a fan of the app queso dip, pizza, or walleye tacos. The pizza was surprisingly doughy for a thin crust. read more

First, let me say that we have always liked it here until today. We were looking forward to getting out for for a nice meal. We saw that they did brunch, so it sounded like a good idea. My wife started with the Avon brunch punch. She ended up not finishing it. After I had a sip, I understand. I had the Bloody Mary, which I did enjoy. The French toast was fair at best. Kind of heavy and not that tasty. I had the Barbacoa hash. This is where things went off track. I had asked for the potatoes to be crispy.The dish came out with two extremely over cooked eggs. Hash crispy, eggs over easy was the goal. Over easy was over cooked. You want the the yolks to break and be a nice accompaniment to the hash. They were solid. The staff was clearly thin, as it took a while to get it corrected. Then, the young man, patronizingly, brought out two more eggs that were snotty and sunny side up at best. He said we did them under for me. I tried to even stop him from even making them, but again, they seemed under staffed. I did not eat the eggs. I ate about half of the hash. Barbacoa was non existent, as in, very little meat. The toast was dry, cold and could not melt butter Half the food went back to the kitchen. They need to figure out how to cook an egg, as it is brunch. Overall, it was not as good of an experience as we had hoped. read more

Great patio for outdoor seating! The French onion soup hits the spot on a crisp, fall day. Enjoyed our lunch very much.

A little loud but very good food. Our second time here and this time got burgers. Excellent! Had some of the Mac & cheese, too, and it was fantastic. read more

Buffalo chicken deviled eggs and mozzarella sticks were amazing! Fish fry was the best we've had and the service was spot on and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

In town visiting and decided to check it out because it's close to where I'm staying. I got the Brie appetizer and the short rib cavatelli pasta. I was super impressed with both dishes I got. So much so that it's a few days later and I'm still thinking about it enough to write a review. read more

The food was lovely and not overpriced. Only bummer was the server was obviously in a bad mood and hardly spoke. No suggestions... Just 'are you ready?' Never smiled and I felt like we were bothering her. My boyfriend loved his tacos and I was pleasantly surprised but the farmers salad. Asparagus was prepared very nicely. Not hard and chewy like a lot of restaurants. I will try the bar next time! read more

Food and drink menu includes some unique items and tasted quite good. We tried the Brie with truffles appetizer and each did tacos for dinner, the meal itself was 3 street tacos for one plate... Seems a bit over priced for what you get though, dishes were small. Service was fine. read more

We have been there multiple times and the food and service is always excellent. Burgers and pizza are al very tasty and the salmon is better than most seafood restaurants. read more

I highly recommend this comfy yet classy restaurant/bar. I came to Bar Nova for dinner this evening and ordered a chicken pesto flatbread and a cup of tomato bisque soup. Both items were absolutely amazing and perfectly cooked. The staff is extremely friendly, easy going, and professional. Over all this is one of my favorite spots in Avon and I will of course be returning for more excellent dinners and fun nights at the bar. read more

Love this place good service good food good drinks can't say enough! Sit at the bar guaranteed to have fun. Sit at a table and enjoy the great appetizers try them all. I have a hard time deciding every time read more

Love Bar Nova. Great place to get comfort food and a nice selection of drinks. Their walleye tacos are delish!

Nice surprise! We randomly stopped at this little gastropub in our way back from an event. We had French onion soup, tomato bisque, walleye tacos, Mac n cheese and buffalo deviled eggs. We were very pleased with everything we tried. Next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to stop! read more

Stopped in and had appetizers and drinks. Food was delicious and the wait staff was very friendly. It was very busy when we stopped in, but that didn't detract from the service. We will definitely be back to eat there again! read more

Used to eat here religiously until I found out I had a gluten allergy. We came here and they said they had gluten free crust (cauliflower) which I was extremely happy that they did, unfortunately the menu doesn't state the option nor the upcharge but I don't think much of it $2-3 is standard, however once the check came it's an extra $7.00. That's a bit excessive and should most definitely be stated on the menu. A normal flatbread runs around $11 as is... so I was disappointed with that. Also the crust should be cooked a little bit longer it was soggy and floppy. Otherwise everything else was good read more

Awesome food, friendly staff, nice and comfortable place. Definitely deserves all your support during this hard time for restaurants that aren't chains! read more

First time here and NEVER again .....If I could leave negative stars I would. They forgot our entire order an hour goes I say to the manager did you forget our order he say no the kitchen is "plating" your food now ... 15 more minutes goes by and still nothing. Then he comes and says we are boxing your food no charge. Another 15 minutes. So they just get us out. We come home and the food was poorly handed out we got short rib hash I find not a bit of short rib in the meal. Terrible customer service. I would never recommend this place!! Also who serves cold "fresh" coffee. If I didn't have three children to pack in the car I would have taken the food back to them to depose of it themselves. read more

We have been there multiple times, for lunch and dinner. The food is always very good, different than the standard fare one would expect from a "Bar". The servers are always very engaging and willingly participate in friendly banter. The bartenders are very engaging. It is an inviting and comfortable environment. This is not your standard bar! Highly recommend as i think your first visit will not be your last! read more

Very disappointed. Atmosphere is nice but acoustics are awful. More importantly the food was mediocre and expensive. All other shortcomings could be overlooked if the food was flavorful. Too many other good choices in this area to return read more

Stopped by for a dinner with my boyfriend on a whim and very impressed! Great cocktails, delicious food (especially the mac n cheese) and attentive service. It was a little loud, but we were also there on a busy Saturday night. We will definitely be back! read more

Been to Bar Nova a handful of times now and it is consistently good food & service. Also nice that they have some very good wine selections as well as good beer choices. Seems more and more the hubby's happy bc most places have a ton of craft brews, but many have no wine choices or nasty cheap wines which leaves any of us who prefer wine wanting to go somewhere else. The Mac n cheese as well as all the other entrees I've had were all very good. It's a small place so don't roll in at peak times on a fri or sat night and expect to sit right away. We always hit it up on any other night! Cool vibe since they remodeled! read more

Don't overlook this small pub as it was a solid early dinner option after being on the road for awhile. The decor was comprised of a rustic style while maintaining its clean nature. The staff was super friendly and helpful in determining our orders. They had an extensive beer listing with options for everyone. I got a meatball sub, while the rest of my family got the grilled cheese and Mac and cheese. Everything was great, and we would definitely stop by this quaint pub if in this part of town. read more

The food is fantastic and the menu is excellent. Very fun atmosphere. Great new spot in Avon worth checking out.

Only downside is that it fills up quickly. They are currently building a patio which will be a great addition!

Great spot in Old Avon. Great food and awesome atmosphere. Small place so is packed by 5:15 on weekends, but a great place to get a bar seat. Great menu, cool bar and reasonable read more

We had a wonderful experience at Bar Nova. The menu was eclectic and the food was delicious. Our bartender, Shamus, was knowledgeable and very engaging with the customers. We will be back to try more of the menu. read more
