Novela, San Francisco CA

Husband and I came for happy hour. Happy hour is from 5-7pm, Monday to Saturday and prices are pretty reasonable. $5 wines and a few bites to try. I enjoyed the octopus, it was very tender. Just know that it's only two pieces but hey, we weren't here to get full. The happy hour is downstairs, lots of seating so it's a good place to meet a few friends. Would definitely come back.

I loved everything about this place-the funky vibe, the bold flavors and the refreshing and tart Little Baobab, a tamarind based vodka drink with some passion fruit syrup. The plantains were sweet and perfectly fried. West African food is my new favorite.

Good atmosphere with nice lighting but most of tables're reserved most of time so it may ruin your experience! Overall it is a good place to have drinks with friends or coworkers after the office hours.

Drinks were good but there were a bunch of tables that were "reserved" and completely empty in the nicest-looking areas. The football games loudly playing on projectors all around kinda ruined the atmosphere as well.

I had the "Lee the Agent" cocktail and it was delicious.

Drinks here are good, prices are ok. We had the feeling we bothered the server, not the best service in town. Still ok. Interesting cocktails. Nice ambient.

Awesome bar and ambience. People dress well, drinks are good and easy to get, lots of seating. The Warriors were partying in the lounge one Saturday.
