Novo Brazil Brewing - Chula Vista

**Truck Driver Review** I encountered a bit of confusion with the delivery address. The address on the Bill of Lading (BOL) led me to what seemed like a storage warehouse with no one around. I knocked on all the doors for three hours before finally having to call the broker for assistance. They were able to contact the staff, who then came from their building down the street to unload me. For future deliveries, it would be better to go to the location that Google Maps indicates is the Lighthouse Church: 2434 Fenton St, Chula Vista, CA 91914.

Attended a huge reunion event hereThe place set up is welcomingAs the night progressed, we experienced poor food from food trucks at high pricesRestrooms not workingToward the end of the evening, there was not one restroom available, men or womanThe drinks were good, which they sold hundreds, even though they couldn't pay the band that night as promisedNot great

Tonight, 7-26-23, my friends and I decided to go to novo for trivia night. When I went in to order some food the bartender asked me for my ID, which I didn’t have. As my friends have already been seated and served with their food and drinks, in a diminishing tone, he asked us to go to their outdoor seating, since I didn’t have my ID. We found some nice tables in their family-friendly environment around multiple families that had their children with them. My friend went to order my food since the bartender so rudely rejected us. About 20min later the rude man came storming outside and told me that he checked the cameras and saw I was still there and that I wasn’t allowed to be on the premise, since I didn’t have an ID in the most standoffish way, even though he told me I could go sit outside. I questioned him to why I couldn’t stay outside when there were multiple families sitting around us with their children and after he said I could sit outside. Instead, he kept trying to argue with us in the most belittling way when all I did was respectfully say “ok” with a smile on my face and walked 3 steps off the premise. First I like to comment on how there is not a single sign hanging up that says need an ID in the place or online. I understand that this is a brewery place, but if you are not drinking why should I need my ID. Especially if multiple children under the legal drinking age were allowed to hang out in the restaurants premises. I believe that the server could have handled himself in a more respectful manner and he should have to go through a series of training on customer service. The bartender was working at the time of 6:30pm and he was taking the food and bar orders for reference. I gave zero attitude to him and did what he asked me to do each time with a smile on my face. So I don’t understand why he treated me like I was some kind of j that was giving him problems. I feel so disrespected and will not recommend this place to anyone because they don’t know how to handle situations maturely. Also, this place needs to clarify there rules. Like why would it make sense for kids under the legal drinking age to be able to hang out in the brewery, but not people who don’t have an ID. Unless the waiter just didn’t like me for some reason. Anyways, I did not let that stop me from ruining my night and I ended up going to another brewery (shoutout brewery of Eastlake for letting me sit outside and have a good time in peace) open comedy night that was down the street that was 10x better, that I totally recommend!

Really homey, chill brewery. Entrance to the bar is very narrow with barrels for brewing on both sides. Tasting area inside feels small but there’s a tremendous amount of space on the outside. Large TV to watch Padres games is also very impressive. The Mo Mo has to be my favorite brew from here. There’s a food truck here as well.

Love NOVO brewery. Been going there on a weekly but I had to give them a 4 because I realized the labels are always changing so I never know whats accurate but other than id give it 5 stars
