You have a decent selection of bottled beer. Nothing on tap. The restaurant is located right in the bar so you don't have to walk far or go downstairs.

The 5-star reviews describing this place as a cocktail lounge or having met interesting people must be locals having a laugh at those of us who were looking for something unique in WBL. This is not it. It was loud, full of drunk people shouting at each other, and too busy for the single poor bartender trying to keep everyone served. They had a decent bar for mixed drinks but only serve Heggie's pizza for food. They only take cash--unless you're a regular (then they'll take your plastic). So bring cash, get one drink, and then run down the street to somewhere with a better menu and your choice of whiskeys.

I hadn't been since they moved to the new location and have definitely been missing out. We were…read morethere right at open during the farmers market and there was an initial rush that died down after 15 or so minutes. The bartender was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the products; answering some questions I had about proofing. It's in a great spot downtown right next to the farmers market with plenty of street parking. There are a few sidewalk tables but a nice open space inside. The inside doesn't allow dogs, however, due to their kitchen. Speaking of... The pizza was pretty good! I feel the most important part of any pizza is the crust and that was the best bit of theirs. The fresh ground flour adds a ton of flavor and they got a decent char on the bottom and rim. The prices weren't terrible and 1 pizza with some booze fed both of us. My only gripe is that they go heavy on the cheese so the (excellent) crust can't hold up to the weight and wetness. That's made a bit worse by they fact that they use a high-moisture mozzarella so there's a lot of grease that can soup the whole deal up. All in all they make fantastic spirits, service is great, and now have good pizza at a decent price. I think this may be my go to spot for meeting friends when I'm in Northfield.

By that I mean I had no stomach issues after eating there. Service was good although they could have come by more often. Nonetheless I will be back.

Say it with me: OVERRATED. The scene is odd, the furnishings…read moreare odd (old office chairs and old wheelchairs for seating) but I could get past all of that if the drinks were actually good... Sometimes you look at a drink menu and are intrigued but a bunch of options, this place was the opposite, not one drink looked good. All of the options are very masculine in nature: vermouth, bitters, etc.. you would think there would be something with like vodka or tequila and some fruit but nope. There was one drink that almost fit that profile but they threw in pink peppercorn and I was told that under no circumstance would they alter the ingredients... makes me think the bartender is either incapable or a complete jerk. In any case, bad customer service. I came here with 3 others and no one liked their drinks.

These are not mixed drinks. These are truly crafted cocktails. We have an excellent selection of liquors. Beers on tap. Wine.

The acoustics are terrible. Could definitely use some sound absorbing tiles on the ceiling. It's right next to the amphitheater at River Prairie Park. Parking can be tight when there's a concert. It's also a little spender than your average place in the area. I think it's worth it for the experience and unique cocktails.

We visited latitude 44 for the first time to celebrate a friends birthday the other night. We were…read moreabsolutely disappointed our service provided by server Andrew. Andrew was completely rude and had a horrible attitude the whole time. Not only did he appear to be completely bothered to be working, but you could tell something made him upset and he clearly chose to take it out on us this night. It was very unfortunate as it made us very uncomfortable and turned the whole experience into a negative one. I asked a question about an item on the desert menu since it wasn't listed and he responded with "what I mentioned earlier....." and paused as if I was going to magically remember what flavors he had said until he eventually repeated the options to me. My husband caught his tone and immediately was upset after this. Also a fruit fly had flown into my friends drink which is not only gross but not our fault and when asking if he could have at least that dumped out and the same amount poured into it since it was on ice he said well that's basically water now and then said but okay sure whatever and walked away. As someone who has worked in the customer service industry I would have been absolutely mortified to speak to people this way and then to return to the table and show my face again. It was very disappointing. We wanted to speak to a manager but also wanted to get out as fast as we could as well. However we did keep the receipt to make sure we had his name. I hope he is okay because clearly something was making him very sour. Poor guy. I DO NOT recommend.

There's really no redeeming value to be associated with this place other than it being a cool place to have a beer during the hot summer months. And downright freezing during the winter! Me finding myself tethered to John (a local gadabout) who drags me to a seemingly endless line of beverage intakes of an alcohol nature, and I not being use to the effects of cold and ice. The ice in the parking lot can be treacherous, and the inside is like aging beef in cold storage! Ahhh but that only adds to its charm. Tie that in with the warm hearts sharing the bar and it makes for a memorable experience. But not one that I would frequent on a daily basis. I heard stories about there being caves associated with Nova. Who knows, maybe someday John will get me an invite to explore and I'll come across Injun' Joe just like Tom Sawyer. My luck though it'll be a rabid bat I find. A memory ever associated with the bowels of the dive which is Nova. Honestly speaking, I had fun at Nova, cold and all. We would have stayed longer but alas, a dinner engagement loomed which would provide us the opportunity to indulge once more, and more importantly, thaw out! Quick Tip: After you've had your fill at Nova you can walk down to the corner for ice cream at the Dairy Queen. You'll find that novelty warmer than what you had to endure at Hudsons finest dive.

I have been here a few time before and definitely thought I had already written a review, but I…read moreguess not. I have been here two times in the last week and lemme tell ya.. this is quite the spot. I do suggest making a reservation because everytime I go here it is popping! What a vibey place, the lights aren't too bright, it gives a hip, fun, light energy and is not too pretentious but has INCREDIBLE FOOD AND DRINKS. Right now, one of their specials is whitefish toast.. if you enjoy fish at all, you need this. The fish is light and fresh, they put fresh dill on top and it is placed on top of some toasted sourdough bread perfectly. The fish is flavorful, a lil earthy and I feel as if there are capers or olives in in the fish mixture, whatever it is is fire! The burrata, beets, and citrus is a nice lovely, fresh, light app, the burrata is perfection with the beets and fresh, juicy citrus, drizzled with some oil and random pieces of garlic mixed in, YUM. I suggest ordering bread on the side with this one! The wings here are a staple and always delish. Crispy, hot, and coated perfectly in a light sweet chili sauce.. they hit the spot everytime. The housemade ranch is a perfect dipper. The other day I tried the chorizo and scallops... oh my goodness gracious.. it was a lil spicy and creamy with the bean puree and the scallops were buttery, light and divine! 10 outta 10 would do again. Finally, got the goat cheesecake, gluten free ginger snap crust with poached pears. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I want this now and in every lifetime! The cheesecake was light, yet decadent, deep, creamy with a light, unassuming flavor. The crust was delicious and the poached pears added that perfect fruit component. I got Liam as my server both times, he was helpful, attentive, had good suggestions when asked questions and didn't interrupt at all, amazing! This is the spot for any occasion!

We went shortly after they opened at 4 so it was pretty chill, not very busy. I remember this space from when it was Mountain Mudd when I was in high school. It's a smaller space but they do a bit of a patio when it gets nicer outside. Very simple decor inside. They have a few board games as well to play while you sip. We ended up sitting at the bar. We ordered 4 different drinks & a shot (total between 2 of us). Blue meanie - my fav of the 4 we tried. Sweet and a little sour. Watermelon Sugar - also good, refreshing tasted like watermelon candy Groovy Cherry - tasted just like a cherry limeade drink. I personally don't like cherry limeade but it was good. Georgia Peach - a little stronger but still good and peachy. Watermelon jolly rancher shot - good tasted just like the candy. Overall the drinks were simple but good. The staff were super nice and chill. The crowd was a bit older but overall a nice lounge.
