Nova Bar

100% worth a stop into the Nova bar. Great selection of cocktails and beer. And some really great bourbon options of the harder to find bottles. I ordered the Reuben and would definitely recommend, It was fantastic. Bartender was awesome as well. Was an easy 10/10 experience. Also, they have some pretty sweet merch. Get some!

Heard people talking about this spot so my brother and nephews decided to jump off the highway on our way to the Cities. Comfortable and casual. Bartender was excellent, humorous and deliberate. We ordered and chef brougt out food. We all are foodies and the sandwiches were over the top. The longer we stayed the more we all remarked on the level.of comfort. It was like the old neighbor tavern. Good libations, fabulous food and friendly people. No doubt we will return , only wish it was closer.

Fun little dive bar with excellent pizza! We had the big strong boy and oink, the pizza crust is delicious. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best bar in Hudson! We love Nova. Always great service, fun food offerings with the pop up kitchen. Live music what more can you ask for?!

Amazing bar with incredible service! Does not have a kitchen, but has food trucks or pop-up restaurant serving food and the one that we had was amazing!! Drinks are wonderful and service is excellent. Definitely will come back!!! Great music, lots of events That you can find on their website and or on Facebook.

I made it out last night, Thursday, for only the second time as I wanted to catch the live music gig @ 6. Nova opens at 4:00 and I arrived roughly 4:10 so still quiet...just the owner and another guy, maybe a staff(?) were at the bar... so I was able to chat him up and bartender Matt.....who I would come to find out wasn't just a bartender but...an exceptionally RAD one!!! Had a great time discussing cocktails, boozes, and music. So much so... time flew by!! As we discussed cocktails I asked which one he would order of either This Is Our Fall Drink and the Nova Old Fashioned? I was met w the Nova is always available.... Say no more. I told him I was a bit skeptical as I'm not a big cinnamon fan so the All Spice. Matt assured me the concoction eased the flavor.... he did not steer me wrong... it was delicious! It certainly didn't give me the sleepy's either... awesome! As it got closer to 6 people filed in, thankfully not packed to the gills but comfortable. I asked a fellow what beer he was drinking? He replied "the only one they have," I looked behind the bar and saw only a Miller High Life tap! Wow... shocking... but.. fantastic!!! s I looked at the bar, I got a good chuckle when I saw the neon light reading "I Liked The Old Nova Better." I didn't ask but I'd assume a common comment... thus the light. Glad to read the humor was found, ha. I had ate prior to coming so I didn't have a Melt Pizza but even the musician gave the pizzas a shout out for how delicious they were. Nova is just off of 94, owned by a lovely fella who provides a great comfortable little joint w delicious cocktails poured by a charming bartender. Lots of standard height table seating and a long bar if you choose to sit there. I love the colorful tabletops.You'll get a kick out of using the restroom and the sticker covered walls! Don't skip on the Nova as it's tucked away just east of 2nd St, your whole everything will thank you for stopping, cheers!

Great spot for relaxing with some great pours. 🤩 Customer service is incredible! Brett is a great guy who takes care of the customers and really makes everyone feel at home! 🥃 First ask for the raspberry old fashioned (you could even say Ron | IG: whiskey_with recommended it👊🏼) otherwise, Go there and you won’t be disappointed in the whiskey selection. They do have a full bar, so there is something for everyone! Take care of the team there as this is a special place. Cheers 🥃🥃 | if this was helpful give me a 👍🏼 and follow.

This is a unique place nestled in the hillside of Hudson, WI. Their menu offers fresh deli style sandwiches, homemade soups, and delectable desserts. Their Espresso Martini although small was packed with flavor and blended perfectly!

Newly renovated and still the most charming hidden gem in town. (Oops the secrets out). The bartenders make your experience well worth your while (eh em... Emma, ask her about that big duck energy). Super cute, quaint and friendly. Worth a stop for a few craft beverages.

While I miss the "old" Nova, stopped in for a cocktail at the new space and it was very good. I will note, they do have some small bites now, like pizzas and small appetizers. Tried a strawberry fields forever, which was light and refreshing. Hubs had something with Blueberry and he seemed to enjoy it. The space is much more minimalist than the previous bar, but they also opened up the front side with a garage door that opens to the patio. Overall, a nice place to grab a beverage and enjoy a nice evening.

Finally made it across the river to Nova today. My visit left me in the state of "how many times were you told to get here... & kept saying...mehh... I will? Well today did not disappoint! I loved the small brunch cocktail menu, not overwhelming and some great options, the bloody with dill pickle ice was very tempting! I opted for the Knob Creek Colab Sour, it was delicious & not too sweet so I sucked it down in two sips! It paired perfectly w hanging out w buddies on the patio! I like that he patio had options of small square tables, round tables and picnic tables w umbrellas! There's a small parking lot, that if it's full you can easily park along the Coulee curb. Boomin Barbecue has residency and w the Libations for Everyone podcast recording today I opted for the Knob Creek burger, "Smoked & Seared Burger, American Cheese, Smoked Pork Belly, Bourbon Braised Onions, Pickles, Knob Creek Aioli on a Sesame Potato Bun". I'm sorry, correction: the DELICIOUS Knob Creek burger!!! The bar was comfortable and spacious, read: you weren't touching legs w the chair next to you. You can see the two bathrooms from the bar, they're not tucked away in some corner. I like that there is a garage door open to the spacious patio. I was able to have a few words w the friendly owner. I may have drug my feet to have my inaugural visit, but I am positive there will be no delay on my next visit. Thanks Nova for such a fun, comfortable and delicious afternoon, cheers!

Truly heartbreaking to see a unique little wine bar/restaurant with quaint seating and a cozy atmosphere get turned into "just another" corporate feeling bar. I have been visiting the Nova for years, have had some wonderful meals and great memories. The food was great, and they had a truly great staff working for them. Holidays were always fun with music, lights, decorations, and spirit. I was truly disappointed to find out that their years-long "renovations" were simply ripping out everything that made The Nova, The Nova, and turning it into a generic looking bar with Applebee's-quality appetizers. I thought I could give them another try, and yeah I pretty much got what I expected, and that was: nothing much going on. What a pity! Hudson has many other signature and notable places to visit for meals and drinks, I would recommend finding another "place to call home" and staying away from the "new" Nova.

Cool place. Amazing beer, liquor, and burger on a Saturday. The Saturday Boomin' BBQ burger is easily top 5 in the area. The bartenders are friendly and do a great job.
