I had the best experience here on a Saturday evening!! We went around 6pm and the bartender was so nice, I didn't get her name but she was amazing! It was my first time trying mead and she was so patient with giving us samples and suggestions. We tried a couple of the ciders and mead and she recommended we try the honey pineapple slush (pineapple paradise slush)!! It was so good and refreshing, had the perfect balance of sweetness and honey without being too overpowering. The other ciders and mead were great as well, literally can't go wrong and really appreciate that they let you sample different ones! We loved the sun or a beach and pineapple paradise! There's outdoor and indoor seating but the outside is such a vibe and perfect for a sunny day!! We'll definitely be back! read more

I've had mead before and honestly never liked it--it was always way too sweet and heavy on the honey. But this place totally changed my mind. From the first sip, everything tasted fresh, clean, and really well balanced. Not overly sweet at all, just super smooth and easy to enjoy. And the cider? So good. Crisp, refreshing, and just as impressive as the mead. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. Everything we tried was great and felt really well made. I came in not expecting much and left a total fan. This was our unexpected hidden gem find on an otherwise hop-forward brewery tour of the area... don't miss out! read more

Was in Santa Barbara for the day and had our dog and debated going here or next door and I haven't had mead since I was in Baltimore in June and picked this spot. I was pleasantly surprised with the flight selections, I liked that we could mix beer and mead and all the options were so yummy! Love that they were dog friendly and we stayed for an hour to yap and hang! read more

Stopped by today. Saw a sign on our way to lunch. Tried a fligjt of four drinks. The Son of a beach and peaches be crazy were my favorites. Those are also offered and slushy, which hit the spot on a warm SB day. My usual at my local pub is a snake bite - half harp half cider. This mead has ruined regular cider for me. Chill vibes, friendly staff, really good drinks. Happy to hear whole foods will be carrying son of a beach. Will be back next time in SB read more

Visiting Santa Barbara, I was thrilled at the opportunity to take my beer drinking husband to a meadery! High Seas Mead opened at 5:00 on Friday and we were there minutes later. Located in a dicey industrial area, I would not have walked here alone at night. But having my favorite 6 ft 2 designated driver along made this a very fun experience. Our bartender Devin was very patient and explained all of the ciders and meads available to try that night. Neither of us was very familiar with mead, although I drink a lot of cider. I tend to enjoy the dry ciders and tried samples of several that were in stock. But I can get cider anywhere ! So of course I ordered a flight of mead. I chose four flavors from six available, all lightly carbonated and dry (to me). Just because it's made of fermented honey doesn't mean it's super sweet. I loved the names of these beverages, super fun and creative! I have to say I'm still torn between the cosmic bandito and the cheap thrills, both had some berry flavor and a bit sweeter. The meadacolada and mystic vibrations were very light. All were packing a decent 7 percent punch. Like a strong beer. But gluten free. Although my husband tasted all, and liked one, I got pretty toasted trying to finish four pours. I accepted a generous offer of sparkling water (apparently no tap or still water flowing that night), and took a trip to their clean and cutely decorated potty before I could finish the flight. I ended up buying four cans to go. Our hotel fridge was small, but we had a whole week left on our vacation and a cooler, so I took them with us when we went to our next beach town. I will be looking for these babies in the store now when I get home to AZ! Bravo High Seas Mead! read more

What a lovely find this was! While walking around the Funk Zone, we heard some amazing live music coming from High Seas and the neighboring wine place. We wanted to stick around and enjoy the music so we got a mead and a cider and sat on the patio. What a lovely time we had! Everyone working was so kind. My cider was delicious. My husband enjoyed his mead but it's definitely more of an acquired taste. The vibes were just so great. A picture perfect warm winter night on the central coast read more

We popped in on a whim, drawn in by the signs leading us to their mead and cider, and were greeted by the friendliest and most welcoming staff. We got to sample more than enough options before ultimately landing on some mead. They have so many vibrant and fruit-forward flavors that it was difficult to choose.
