Wilma’s Carousel Bar

Wilma’s Carousel Bar

SDCM is thrilled to welcome you to Wilma’s Carousel Bar, a tribute to Owner Matt Spencer’s beloved grandmother, Wilma. As a child, Matt fondly remembers his grandmother taking him to see a carousel at Balboa Park, a cherished memory that has inspired this enchanting space. As one of only two carousel bars in the United States, Wilma’s Carousel Bar offers a truly unique experience.

We invite you to immerse yourself in this nostalgic retreat with Executive Corporate Chef Brian Redzikowski’s French-Creole inspired dishes and Beverage Director Eric Johnson’s a selection of cocktails including both innovative spins on traditional favorites and imaginative new concoctions. Lose yourself in the large oil painting on the west wall, depicting an 18th-century pastoral scene filled with 17 hidden “Easter eggs”—from a monkey and a DeLorean to a billionaire’s spaceship. There are still more surprises to be found in each of the various French Renaissance paintings, we can’t wait to see what you spot.

At Wilma’s Carousel Bar, our aim is to create a staple for our community. So please, enjoy a spin on our carousel, where every detail is designed with you in mind.
