Mike Hess Brewing - Taphouse in downtown San Diego's waterfront district serves as the brewery's beverage-only satellite in Seaport Village's Lighthouse District at 809 W Harbor Drive, built out in six weeks on a $100,000 renovation of the former Old Harbor Distilling space. Twenty-six tap handles pour the full Mike Hess lineup — core IPAs, hazy ales, hard seltzers, frozen drinks, house-brewed root beer, and micheladas — without a kitchen, positioning the 800-square-foot taproom as a pour-only complement to the full-service flagship at Mike Hess Brewing - Seaport Village in the Carousel District. Guests bring food from any Seaport Village restaurant, and the 1,300-square-foot outdoor deck and patio seat up to 100 with direct harbor views. Flight purchases include a collector's glass with $6 refills, rewarding repeat visits at a pour-only taproom that pairs naturally with a full dinner at The Fish Market on the adjacent waterfront. Deck and taproom buyouts handle corporate mixers, convention overflow, and private tastings with the full 26-handle draft wall and dedicated event coordination.
