Awesome place for beer. So many options from all over New England and the USA. Stop the people are so nice. We’ll be back the next time we are in Portland.

In my opinion, the best beer bar in the US

Great atmosphere & service. If you loiter long enough they let you ring the bell (if you’re lucky).

Really great little spot tucked away in downtown Portland.

Really incredibly diverse beer menu, with a really simple but delicious food menu. These guys and gals really know their beers and are super friendly.

We had a tuna sandwich - just a really solid tuna sandwich, nothing fancy, but tasty - as well as the deviled eggs - delicious, better than moms - and a cheese and meat plate - all super high quality cheeses and meats.

Had a few different beers, and all delicious.

I would recommend anyone stop by, it’s fantastic.

We had a welcome event for my wedding at the outdoor patio, and as always Novare Res was an absolute crowd pleaser! Katie gets massive points for helping us organize it, and Andrew was a wonderful server for the group! All of our guests had a wonderful time, and both the locals and visitors enjoyed the selection and the food options. We will keep coming back!

My wife, son and I were here a couple of times, once in July 2014 and again in July 2019. When we were walking around Portland, looking for a place to have dinner, we happened upon this place. During our first visit, we sat in the outdoor beer garden. We sat inside during our second visit. Both were outstanding. The beer garden is everything I would want in such an establishment in New England, warm and inviting. The inside, with its brick columns and soft lighting, provides a very cozy atmosphere. And of course the beer menu is VERY hard to beat. We fell completely in love with Novare Res and will definitely be back!
