Ex Novo Brewing Company

Beer is great as always but the food in the last few months has gone dramatically downhill. BEWARE the food they advertise as vegetarian is not vegetarian. Never had this happen before as they used to have great vegan and vegetarian options. Very few options to eat here now a days so I confirmed with the server about my dietary restrictions- the only thing I could eat for protein here was a bowl of beans so I got that. Got part way through and the beans are full of bacon… will stick with the beer but don’t trust the food here.

Terrible service. Guy doing drugs in the bathroom that made my kid feel so unsafe. The server and manager barely apologized. Do better.

Nice place with a good vibe.

Good beer at fair price .. great service always. If yall looking for a good dish just go for ot you worn be disappointed. Love thai place

Small servings, upscale menu. They do have a kids menu but you have to ask. The foodnis unique and pretty darn good. I really liked their coconut IPAs.

I came here for my birthday and experienced a man doing hard drugs in the bathroom. I told our waiter who said okay and did nothing . Had to complain two more times before someone did anything. The manager hardly apologized and said this is something somewhat regular…so fix it? The chef also must have changed because the menu is…different. Prioritizing drug users over patrons is certainly a choice, not one my friends or I will make.

Was definitely a nice day for lunch, visiting ABQ for couple of days. And this was my last stop of the trip. Everything was excellent, thank you!

We visited this place on a scheduled protest. Very quiet for a Friday night. Food was alright. Service needs improvement for a slow night.

The goal is to get you drinking enough to overlook how bad the food is.

As a brewery, it’s clear the focus is on the beer — but unfortunately, the food really missed the mark. What I ordered came out cold and undercooked, and overall it just wasn’t appetizing - I had to switch out my food TWICE. If you’re coming for the drinks, it might be fine, but I would NOT recommend it for the food. Beautiful facility though.

We had the most delightful waiter, I wish I had caught his name dangit, but he was amazing!!! The drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was very nice, all the staff was friendly, very clean, and wonderful Carne Adovada Eggrolls. It's a bit pricy, but it's not your every day average bar food either, so it was well worth it!

Good selection of food and beers. Good live music on the patio. Catch them when Acoustic Gap is on the bill.

Ex Novo is amazing. We had a work party there and it was packed and beth was absolutely amazing and made our beverages to perfection while making sure everybody was taken care of. Thank you!

Ex Novo is definitely a VIBE!! The bartenders are amazing, the decor is hip and fresh, the music inside was ON POINT & the live band playing outside was lively. The food looked & smelled wonderful. But I was just there for spicy cocktails & the beer selection was huge for all the brew lovers. Whenever in Albuquerque drop in.

Passing through on a road trip and stopped here for lunch. It was a nice change from the typical road options, not too far from the freeway. We had great service, and a beer flight let us try the various beers they make. Great experience.
