About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Romantic
  • Neighborhood gem
We are a San Diego meadery crafting unconventional and ridiculously good mead. We take pride in creating complex and flavorful carbonated meads that showcase Southern California honey varietals and our passion (or obsession) for experimentation. The result is an entirely unique craft beverage experience we can't wait to share with you.

    Easily the best mead I've ever had. Personally, I would say they are even better than Superstition Meadery. They have a great ambience in their tasting room and they have some of the best service around. Their tasting room is gorgeous and super relaxing. If you're not coming here on your trip to San Diego, or if you're a local and you don't know this place, you are truly missing out!

    Big Red Door opens up to an awesome space with barrels tables, cellar, patio area and brewing area. Delicately decorated, the space feels warm and inviting. The meads on tap are amazing as always. You can bring Pizza in from the wood fired pizza stand outside. Most meads are available to go, I recommend picking up a bottle or two.

    Amazing meadery! Loved every thing I sampled! They are doing great things! I enjoyed the GSB, Cool Buzz and strike the sun! I need to make another trip down to SD to sample the rest of their selection! Two thumbs up!
