Revolving Bars

I’m sure that most of us have had a seat at NOLA’s Carousel Bar. While looking through a 1937 phone directory of Buffalo, NY I came across this advertisement for a revolving bar. It made me wonder how many

of these there were over the years.

The revolving bar was a popular concept from the 1930s on for several decades. Based on my research over the years, it seems every city big and small had at least one. And many were called the Carousel, or Circle Room. Here in Wisconsin, there was a Carousel Supper Club in Waukesha. The Gobbler was another famous supper club with a revolving bar.
