PIZZA
Closed down during COVID lockdowns and was unable to re-open due to lease problems and financial issues. In 1945, these visionary women gathered 50 like-minded friends, carefully selected from a diverse array of influential black women. United by a commitment to collaborative efforts and teamwork, they gave birth to the Wilfandel Club in 1947.

BEER
In 2014 Panama 66 opened at The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. This seemed like a crazy leap for the owners of a couple “beer bars,” but The Museum was open to making a change and offering food & drink that would appeal to a broader local and tourist market. P66 is now a hub in Balboa Park serving endless glasses of SD Indie Beer, countless cocktails and plate after plate of regionally sourced food. P66 has also been named San Diego’s Best Jazz Venue multiple years, one of the cities Best Patios, and Best New Bars. Fueled by passion, the Wilfandel Club achieved a significant milestone in 1948 by acquiring the Percy H. Clark stately 1912 Renaissance Revival Style mansion in the West Adams District of Los Angeles.
BLAH JAZZ
Blind lady Ale House is one of San Diego’s original indie beer bars and a pioneer in the Farm to Pizza movement in San Diego. In 2010 BLAH became the first licensed brewery in Uptown San Diego and one of San Diego’s earliest “nano” breweries. For years BLAH’s food practices, beer program and attention to quality and sustainability landed it on the Eater Essential 38. We believe OG businesses like ours have continued to be essential to the indie food & beverage scene because of an unwaivering commitment to these practices. Over the years future business owners have held meetings in the space, reviewed blueprints, concepted menus and planmed their own food & beverage ventures at these tables. It feels good to be that spot that has been the launching pad for so many good things.
INDIE BEER & PIZZA & BIKES & JAZZ & RECORDS & COMMUNITY
About 2 years after opening BLAH, the concept of TIGER! Was born out of a one- night-only sandwich event where Socheth, one of our very first employees, introduced us to the future Pork Belly Bahn mi. Opened on El Cajon Blvd (off 30th Street) back when the area was know as “The Dark Zone” when there were no street lights and the neighborhood was known for its strip bars, pawn shops and cheap rents. Immediately after opening T! Was named one of America’s 100 Best Beer Bars, was featured in Sunset Magazine, was on the Eater Essential 38, and showcased on both Food Paradise and Diners Drive-ins & Dives.
We ordered pizza, and it was great; the service was super friendly, and last but not least, great beer! An eclectic, friendly, affordable spot. The Balboa Bar & Grill is where to go in Banker’s Hill for really good burgers and a few beers in a space your grandpa would like. Corazon de Torta is a food truck in Barrio Logan that serves the best Tijuana-style tacos and tortas north of the border.
Transformed into the Wilfandel Clubhouse, this mansion, adorned with lush landscapes, symbolizes inclusivityand serves as a distinctive safe space for social, civic, and community activities. Collaborating with Paul Williams, the members converted this residential gem into the place to be and be seen in Black Los Angeles. Journey back to the 1940s, where Los Angeles grappled with the pervasive impact of Jim Crow laws, casting a shadow that restricted people of color from esteemed venues. Together, they dreamed of creating a haven—a clubhouse where people of color could gather to celebrate joyous occasions and monumental milestones.

Over the years, the Wilfandel Club has been the backdrop for farewell parties, elaborate weddings, baby showers, birthday celebrations, and events led by Civil Rights and political leaders. Artists, authors, and musicians have graced our stage, contributing to the club's success. Rental revenue not only paid off the mortgage within the first decade but also funded philanthropic endeavors, including the annual Fannie Williams Scholarship.
