I'm not sure what to say I almost feel bad I had a bad experience there but I did. I was excited to go to a bar with a beautiful display of alcohol and mythical attire. I love all things fantasy however this place was lacking in magic accept the actual game magic the gathering. The staff couldn't agree on serving us food or not. You had to wait 20 mins for a drink especially after one of the ladies would offer to come over only to ignore you and wait on someone else. This bar can't stand on nerds alone you need to be less like kings and queens and show some empathy towards those villagers who just want a taste of the finer things in life, your po-tay-toes are not that.

The deep fried bacon is hack and disrespectful to the pig that provided it. The chicken was bland and over cooked. The biscuit was flat and dry. The fried Brussels were undercooked and hard. The in-house pickle was good.Love the ambiance and concept.Food isn’t hard. Just have to care.Sorry but super disappointed.

This place reminds me of my nerdy friend James basement. Well its really his parents basement. Guess that's irrelevant considering that 6 foot tall 300lb Wookiee statue will probably prevent his mom and pop from reclaiming that space anytime soon.Either way, the drinks here are fantastic ?

We waited 40 minutes for 2 drinks. It wasn’t even that busy, and our friends who arrived after us got theirs well before us. We kept asking where our drinks were and then eventually they said that our ticket was lost and didn’t even seem sorry that we’d waited over half an hour. Then when my husband closed out our tab, the bartender didn’t give him his card and he had to ask for it back. Out of the 4 of us, 3 didn’t like their drinks (and we’re not picky people). Mine tasted like watered down pink lemonade. Food was nothing special, decor felt halfhearted. We were looking forward to trying this place but will not be back.

Not going to lie but the first time I tried to find this place I thought the entrance was somewhere else! Anyways, I found it! this is my second time stopping by and this time we went for art night. They do a free art night every Thursday which was pretty chill. I got the aperol spritz which was alright, kinda watery. Nothing really caught my attention on the food menu. The first time we went we did try the sliders which were okay. I like the atmosphere of the place and the music goes with the vibes. I feel like this place has potential but not sure if I would return if it wasn't for art night!

I am just personally getting into drinking gin and the bartender here was very helpful when I asked for a gin martini. He asked me some questions and I ended up with Martini that I loved. We had a great time during a bachelorette party here at Nox. It fit our theme very well!

This place has counter type service. We order our food and cocktails in the bar and wait for it on a table. The service is insanely slow. It felt like they were seriously short off staff. I would have gotten over the slow service if the food was good and if the service was prompt. However... They often didn't put our orders in and we ended up waiting for dishes we ordered but it never arrived. When we approached them regarding it, they were least bothered and not at all apologetic. Meanwhile, the table next to us would get multiple dishes they never ordered. And no, it's not the ones we ordered. Cocktails were good though. We tried all the three classic cocktails and I think they were priced right at $8 during the happy hour. Food was embarrassingly bad. The daily flatbread, while super small, was filled with super dry chicken. After waiting for over 30 mins for our side of fries and realizing they never put the order in, we decided to get their law and order kfc. The chicken in it tasted like something that was frozen and heated in microwave. The fries were soggy and soft. It was so disappointing to get a chicken that was hard to chew and tasted stale. It's a crime to charge $17 for microwaved/reheated chicken. Overall, pretty bad experience.

Nox has such a beautiful atmosphere the harry potter and lord of the rings decor was amazing. And it had a great pop culture vibe the food was wonderful I was blown away by the whole experience. it was a really wonderful time .they had great appetizer options the food was ... it was so good it's kinda hard to explain with words it was so delicious. they have outdoor and indoor seating. you don't have to wear a mask at all. also when you walk in you are just blown away by their wonderful decor and atmosphere. I would differently come again next time my family goes .

Just waited over 30 minutes for 2 cocktails. It wasn’t busy at all when we got there so I’m not sure what the problem was. Bartender was rude when my husband asked where our cocktails were. We’ve been dying to try this place since we saw it a bit ago and I’m super disappointed.

I wasn't sure what to expect going in but I loved every aspect of this place. Very steam punk/book n*** vibe. The cocktail selection was quirky with a great variety. The little bites to eat were also perfect for pairing with the drinks.

Fantastic brunch in a really fun atmosphere. Lots of cool events here and of course, comfort food and cocktails!

Michelle Richardson

Really interesting cocktails, the food was excellent, but the menu is a bit limited. There isn't much to chose from the entrées if you want a meal.

Great atmosphere which is eclectic and warm - creative and tasty drinks, and the food is rich in flavors, textures, spice, and heat! The NOX experience is made even better because of the staff! Thank you!!!
