Ballast Point Tasting Room & Kitchen
Ballast Point ventured into the restaurant business with its first kitchen and R&D brewery on October 14, 2013. Anchored on the corner of India and Ivy Streets, the 9,000 square foot Ballast Point Little Italy has gone on to win a slew of medals for its experimental brews and in 2021, was named Co-champion Brewery at the San Diego International Beer Festival.
The massive tasting room and restaurant features 50 taps, a walk-up restaurant serving beer- and spirit-infused dishes, a beer garden, and the company’s three-barrel research and development brewery. Prices run on the steep side considering the small portions, but the food has been dialed in to the point where, instead of making a poorly thought-out bid for sophistication, it makes the best out of being honest bar snacks, burgers, and sandwiches.
