An amazing find during a trip to SB. My partner loves good, super-dry ciders, and through her I”ve come to appreciate them as well (and it’s a lot easier to take her to a brewery with me than for us to find a cidery for her…).

Dropped in near the end of New Year’s Day and did tasting flights - mostly overlapping, but it’s a relatively compact selection to choose from (even if you dapple into the mead options). The four ciders we tried were exceptional - complex, dry, and with robust and distinctive flavors. I can’t remember the names, but the one co-fermented with a red wine was surprising and so, so good in particular.

The guy working the bar that night was also really helpful, friendly, and brought incredible energy on a quiet, grey, cold NYD. The whole place was a great experience!

High Seas Mead offers a truly unique and delightful experience that stands out from the typical bar or restaurant. I love how unique it is to have a mead hall. Besides a very few places in Ireland I haven't come upon mead.

DEVIN is the best. I had the best experience with him with my friends. He was so professional and made us feel so special. I wish every bartender was like Devin. This bar was great and I wish more places had workers like Devin.

We stopped in to try their ciders and chose a flight.
They have a very nice selection and each flavor was excellent.
Ciders can be polarizing but we agreed that they were all good. Devin was helpful and informative. We will definitely be back!

I don’t write a lot of reviews and because I have family connection with this business, I know I’m not objective. Having said that, I have been in his place of business often enough to witness how others experience it. Orders for his product are accumulating faster than he can even make it because people have discovered how good it is.I note on this website that there’s only one negative review and it is strangely nonspecific and hostile. I’d bet a fair amount of money that it comes from a scared competitor! So go and check it out!
