Step into The Zookeeper’s Son, where the beers flow cold and the stories flow far; including our own nod to the family which ran one of Auckland’s first zoos in the Royal Oak area. We haven’t forgotten our roots - not as animals, but in treating all like family - including you. Our modest food and fresh drinks are reason enough to get your people together, be it a catch-up, Christmas function or social celebration, but the sense of kinship can’t be missed. Come and make your own story.
Free on-site car parking available behind the establishment.
Say g'day to Lisa, chief joybringer at The Zookeeper's Son.

1 - 12 December / Multiple Establishments
Santa is heading to your neighbourhood, with a long list of names (we hope you've been good!).
With Rudolph leading his magical sleigh, making a pitstop at ours as he heads on his way!
You know how much we love spreading joy any day of the year but Christmas comes in at the top of our list, so this year we're putting in a good word with the big man to make your Christmas dreams come true.
Go in the draw to win your wish this Christmas by popping into any Joylab establishment between 1 - 12 December, writing a letter to Santa and dropping it in our magical letterboxes heading straight to the North Pole.
Simply:
1. Fill out a post card with your Christmas wish
2. Pop it in the letterbox
3. Keep yourself on Santa’s nice list - you’re now in the draw to win your wish.
A new bike? Maybe a bungee jump? You daredevil! Or perhaps you’re easily pleased and another drink would do you just fine - no matter how big or small your wish, jot it down and our elves could make it come true.
Letters To Santa competition Terms & Conditions can be found below.
