Welcome to Ida – your laid-back local in the heart of Central Otago. We’re all about proper pub food made with top local stuff, cold drinks that hit the spot, and a space that feels like home (but you don't have to do the dishes). Our garden bar’s a sun trap, the beers are cold, and the kitchen’s serving up everything from the classics you know to a few surprises you’ll be back for. Good grub and a place to park up for a while.

We’re proudly local — owned and operated by people who live here, love it here, and know what makes Alexandra tick. Liz has owned this spot before and came back for round two, teaming up with a crew of seasoned hospo pros who are all about great food, good times, and genuine hospitality. We’re here because we care about this community — and nothing makes us happier than bringing people together over a meal, a drink, and a bit of banter.
