ROOFTOP BAR
Kairoa Brewing Company
Perched just above the illuminated University Heights neighborhood sign is Kairoa’s rooftop patio, which includes a children’s play area, private event space, fire pits, and a complimentary Coola sunscreen station. The two-story, 10,500-square-foot brewpub has quickly become a community gathering spot, especially on days when the weather is too nice to stay indoors. As a New Zealand–style brewpub, Kairoa serves up beer with cheeky names, as well as wine. The full-service food menu offers dishes like sausage rolls and savory pies. Weekday happy hour is 4–6 p.m. Tuesday–Friday, and all evening Monday ($6 wines and $5 house beers at happy hour).
