Great for outdoor dining
Neighborhood gem
Great for craft beers

Kairoa is the culmination of our passion for food, beer and our original home country of New Zealand. The food is New Zealand comfort food mixed with southern Californian favorites. Nothing beats our New Zealand style smoked lamb fries and a crisp pilsner.

Our mission is to create delicious beer and food that makes people feel at home in our modern farmhouse designed space, a nod to our family past. Enjoy our rooftop bar with friends while enjoying the sunset over the San Diego urban scenery.

Great food, great service. We sat at the rooftop on a beautiful, sunny day. It was really nice and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We took our 4 year old daughter. It’s very family and dog friendly.

We go for trivia on Wednesday’s. The salmon salad is amazing, but make sure to order the salmon well done. The NZ sauv blanc goes very well with it. Drink selection is great. Other food options are hit or miss. The servers are very good, but there is usually only one server for the whole downstairs, which is packed during trivia. We love geeks who drink trivia. Kairoa is a good bar for trivia!

One of our guests food was delayed and arrived after everyone else had finished. The delayed dish was a Thursday only special, ramen. The dish itself was “gamey”, it was a lamb ramen. When the ramen arrived the server apologized and said it would be “taken care of”. Our guest did not even mention the gamey flavor and was just pretty much over the whole experience. When the check arrived only half of the ramen price was deducted........

Loved Kairoa! Food was great! Beers were very good. Service was awesome! We lucked out and had perfect weather for the rooftop dining. This will be added to our list of favorite restaurants in San Diego. Also seems like a great place to celebrate a special occasion. The fireplace areas look very inviting. Will definitely return for happy hour soon.

We went to Kairoa for a casual business dinner. We ended up sharing each of our selections along with appetizers. We also selected fruit spritzers instead of beer. They were light and refreshing, but I think a beer would have been a better choice for the New Zealand Burger, which was divine. One of our other selections was thinly sliced salmon that was absolutely heavenly, but seriously needed a side to make it a meal. I highly recommend Kairoa, and you can bring your pooch with you!
