    The Watermelon Lime flavored Kombucha from Nova!
    Alden C.

    Delving into kombucha again is always a pleasant change of pace for our drinking experiences. Nova proved to generate this and was no exception to our previous experiences at all. Steve and I got two different flavors of kombucha from Nova and we really enjoyed them. The first one we got was the Guava Mint. This was very refreshing especially with the mint at play here. The Guava aspect was good as well. It's a fruit we aren't typically used to having but the two main flavors combined were excellent. The other flavor we had was the Watermelon Lime. This one wasn't too sweet as when involving Watermelon can be so that was a pleasant change of pace and the sourness at play made a pleasant balance that came from the lime. No one aspect of flavor is too dominant in either of the flavors we had but instead was well rounded and balanced and gave the kombucha a fun and intriguing complexity.

    Came across the street for a beer on a Thursday night, while waiting for our to go. They have a television and dance studio next door. Cool murals painted in the wall. Service was just ok, non existent. Nova offers both beer and kombucha. We ordered the POG Hazy and Lager. The POG was tasty, while the Lager was bland. Both were served on the warm side, not as chilled as a beer should be.

    Maggie the best bartender at the nova / novo franchise. Been coming here since they opened this location and I hope it never leaves!

    OB is a unique place and Nova gives its own unique experience compared to all the other options here. Maggie is the best bartender!

    So much variety of alcoholic kombucha flavors. I like the Hibiscus Lavander and Azteks Raspberry. They offer pint, flight, and 1/2 pint, and gallon size They're most popular is Sexy Mojito and Sexy Pinacolada. Most alcoholic kombucha is 6-10% depending on flavor. 2 Restrooms. They have front table/bar seating or more seating in the back where the pool and foosball tables are at. Pool table. Foosball. There are card games like Uno, Cards Against Humanity, etc. Dylan was super helpful and recommended flavors that was delicious! Service is fast. I like that it's kombucha on tap! Please expand to LA area!!!

    I love hard kombucha! But as far as brewery-type places, Nova was pretty unimpressive. Drinks are alright, and ambiance is lacking. But that's coming from me, as someone who lives close to Miramar and all the larger vibier breweries. If in the area, maybe I'd stop by again... but definitely not a go-to spot. Fortunately, they sell cans of Nova kombucha at the grocery store, so that's the easier preferable option for me.

    Dragon fruit and hot cactus

    I absolutely love this kombucha place! I have been many times when visiting ocean beach. It's a must try while in the area you won't be disappointed. My favorite is the hot cactus! You can either order a single glass or a flight. The flight is a great option to try a variety of flavors. Today I tried the dragon fruit (new flavor from the last time I was in) and it's very good! We bought a pack to go of this flavor because we liked it so much. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It's fun to sit outside, enjoy the sun and people watch while enjoying the kombucha. They recently opened a game room in the back with pool, fuseball, and a variety of board games to choose from. The vibes inside and out are great. The staff are all super friendly and you can taste the flavors before buying. This is an awesome kombucha place with great flavor options and good service.

    As an East Coaster, I was amazed by this place, especially since I'm not a big beer drinker. What a fun concept! I would have imagined a kombucha-focused bar would be a bit niche, but this place must be pretty popular, since the space is huge. The main bar area is very open and colorful and the back has lots of games. Even the outdoor area is solid, with plenty of tables. The bartenders were awesome and let us try a few samples of the kombucha. They had a bunch of funky flavors, which I really appreciated, and I liked all the ones that I tried. The kombucha itself didn't taste too boozy and was almost a less sweet version of a regular kombucha. I had an amazing time visiting this spot and would totally go back the next time I'm in San Diego!

    Love this place! It has the best hard kombucha I have ever tried; the place has a variety of flavors. Has a smaller selection of beers but interesting and fun flavors. Overall, highly recommend!

    Stopped by for a drink at Nova Easy Kombucha down the street after my friends and I were done visiting Ocean Beach Farmers Market. The Hard Kombucha here is delicious. I love kombucha so Hard Kombucha will always hit the spot. Got Peachy Lychee and Watermelon Mint. Both were delicious, I always love anything Watermelon flavored. You can order by the Pint or Half Pint. The drinks didn't blow my mind but this was my first time seeing a watermelon hard kombucha which I appreciated. I also appreciate that this is almost an exclusive kombucha taproom. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but would definitely stop by if I'm in the area. Parking can be tough, you have to just find street parking. The area where I parked was free next to the homes but some areas may be paid metered street parking. Service is friendly. There is inside and outside patio seating, I sat outside since it was a nice night. Loved the outside seating, has a chill, casual vibe. I thought price was fair.

    Eye catching place from the street - walked by here a couple times before deciding to drop in. It was during a time when there was a sports game on and SD was playing so it was a pretty big deal. It was rowdy and loud that night but it was full of life and excitement! I was here with a friend and we had 2 drinks each during our time there. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating were high tables w/ barstools. The lighting was nice and the interior was bright and fun. Great place to meet up with co-workers, friends, or on a date. The bartender was super chill to talk to. I was able to taste test a few flavors of kombucha before selecting my first pick. Hibiscus Lavender, Watermelon Mint, and Hot Cactus were my testers and I went with Hibiscus Lavender out of the 3. I will probably expand into trying of flavors on the board that I typically might gravitate towards like Peach Lychee, Peach Passion, Mango Chilli... heck, I'd actually want to taste test the rest of them just to double check, lol.

    We were walking around the main strip of OB and came across this place that serves beer and alcoholic kombucha on tap. They also have non-alcoholic kombucha in a can. I tried a non-alcoholic can of mango-pineapple. It's only 90 calories! There was a semi-private painting session going on in the table area and in the back they have a pool table and an air hockey table to hang out at. They also hold a trivia night on weekdays

    I took the family out to the beach for Mother's Day. Ended up walking by this place and got lured…read morein by the "$4 mystery shot". Trust and believe... it's a $4 shot, ain't gonna be some quality drank! However, it got the job done. The service was awesome! Our waiter was cool, he was attentive, didn't make us feel rushed, and did a good job servicing our table. Keep in mind, I had two kids that couldn't stay still. He handled it well. The food, was ok. We ordered the BBQ plater for two, a classic cheese burger, got the kids a cheese burger, and chicken tenders. The burgers were good! Good classic burger, seasoned well and came out hot. The fries were nice and crispy, could have used a little more salt, but I do like my fries extra salted, The chicken tenders... honestly... was the best dish that we had, it was the kids meal, but you know... I gotta pick at my kids food lol came out piping hot, well seasoned, great texture... and sauced down with their BBQ sauce... fire Now for the actual BBQ platter, I was disappointed in it... we got it with brisket, chicken, and tri-tip (we replaced the pulled pork for tri-tip, an $8 dollar upgrade). Our sides were Mexican corn, fries, & Mac n cheese. The proteins came out kinda cold, they had no smoke taste at all, tasted oven made, and not actual BBQ. The tri-tip was over cooked, and chewy to eat, it's a lean piece of meat, and is easy to over cook, I had to sauce the heck out of it. The brisket had a good texture, was under seasoned in my opinion (I like heavy pepper and salt on my brisket) but it didn't have any bark. I'm use to my bbq have a nice smoke ring and a good bark. The chicken was sauced, and was mid. The sides were aiiight. The Mac n cheese was the best side, the mexican corn was served in a cup, and was just ok. I'm use to Mexican corn being on the cob, rolled in mayo and cotija... with hot sauce! Messy and stuck in my grill. The BBQ sauce carried the whole dish... Overall it was a great experience! I would definitely return here for the vibes, burgers, and those bomb chicken tenders! Not for the bbq.

    Far Corner - Almost Too Far Pizza

    Hands down my favorite new pizza spot. Far Corner Pizza absolutely nails it. The bread alone is…read morenext level it somehow tastes like it's made with East Coast water (IYKYK) and like a hint of sea salt. I ordered the Margherita and it was incredibly flavorful, not bland at all like some places tend to be. The crust was perfection: crispy on the very thin outside, soft and airy on the inside and tasty, with that subtle sea salt coming through in every bite. It's honestly hard to explain, but the pizza just tastes phenomenal. You can tell real care goes into it. This place is a must-try, and I'll definitely be back.

    I'm not sure about this place yet. I don't know why but the bartender couldn't get my card to work…read moreand he kept telling me that it's not working and I told him it should be fine because well why wouldn't it be and he struggled for a bit eventually he got help from another bartender. As soon as that bartender helped me it went through. I went during their happy hour, and I got their blonde. The glass that I was served in had this egg like smell - that threw off my pallet a bit by the time I received my food. For food, I ordered the pizza munchkins. Which was basically just like a little round breadsticks with Parmesan cheese on top and on the side it came with spiced shakshuka sauce, poached egg and cilantro. The bread was very tasty. It was warm. You can tell that it was fresh. I felt like the sauce needed a bit more acid and salt. Especially the poached egg. I felt like it needed some salt. And I could tell that they had just poached the egg and they were keeping it in warm water because it was really firm. Texture wise the bread was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the egg or sauce. The ambience it seems like there's a lot of seating once you walk in. It was pretty empty when I got there, but by the time I received my food, it filled up pretty quickly. And there's even an area for families to dine in the back area where the coffee shop normally is. I wasn't that impressed but I'm gonna try and come through one of these days for the coffee and see if I have a better experience.
