What people say

"Located in the northern end of Little Italy, San Diego, The Wolfie’s Carousel Bar offers a whimsical twist on the iconic Carousel Bar in New Orleans. This charming spot captures the essence of the original while adding its own unique flair. To fully enjoy your experience at The Wolfie’s Carousel Bar, it's recommended to make an online reservation in advance, especially on busy weekends. Arriving early will increase your chances of securing a seat at the revolving carousel bar, where you can enjoy the playful novelty of sipping your drink while gently spinning around. The bar's centerpiece, the brightly adorned merry-go-round, is a beloved feature that adds a touch of circus-inspired charm. Don't worry about your drink spilling—the rotation is slow enough to ensure a spill-free experience. The cocktail menu at The Wolfie’s Carousel Bar is a delightful homage to New Orleans' rich cocktail heritage. You'll find a variety of classic cocktails with their own unique twists and flavors. Each sip takes you on a journey through the vibrant cocktail scene of New Orleans. However, it's worth noting that cocktail prices are on the higher side, averaging around $16-18.

It's important to consider the value you receive for the higher price point. While the ambiance of the bar is undeniably nice, it may not be the first choice for those seeking a more budget-conscious option. In conclusion, The Wolfie’s Carousel Bar in Little Italy, San Diego captures the essence of the famous Carousel Bar in New Orleans. Its unique revolving carousel and homage to classic cocktails make for an enjoyable and playful experience. However, it's important to be prepared for higher prices compared to other establishments in downtown San Diego.
