We are the lil sis of Queenstown Public House located in the Little Italy district of San Diego. Slightly smaller, but with the same basic ingredients.

A beautiful, comfortable, unique, fun setting. A friendly, smiling, courteous staff we hope you get to know. Guests enjoying the moment, sharing a laugh, whom we hope we get to know. Freshly made dishes; locally sourced, passionately created, many unique…and all delicious. A beer list changing daily, proudly from our award winning local craft SD brewers, and a wine list chosen with care from select vineyards and varietals.

With a kiwi inspired lineage, and the spirit, love and good nature from the land of the Maori, we hope you will join us. And if we are so fortunate, then, we hope you will have a little too much of a good time, have a few too many laughs, stay a while, and return again soon to see us.

So many choices at UTC for dining. I was very underwhelmed here. The Queenstown in the La Jolla Village is much more consistent.

Queenstown Bistro was a beautiful restaurant with an amazing selection of delicious dishes to choose from. We had an amazing time in such a lovely place!! The ambience was just right and made you forget you were I. The middle of a busy shopping center. The service was also outstanding!! We will definitely be going back again and again!!

Waiter was very unfriendly and seemed annoyed we were waiting on 2 more people to arrive. It was also 2 birthday celebrations but he didn’t even suggest a dessert or offer anything. Whole experience with him was not very comfortable .

My soup and sammie was great. My son's hamburger was good but on the smaller side. My husband's chicken pot pie was not good. It was soupy with very little chicken and vegetables. The beer on tap was flat but they were kind enough to substitute beer in cans.

The service was remarkably good, especially for a restaurant in a mall location. The food was excellent, as were the brunch choices. I love the ambiance and the ability to be “inside” while still being in open air.
