About this vendor
Wormwood, based in San Diego, CA, is a unique restaurant venue that hosts weddings and other special events.
Wormwood welcomes you to a journey of the past where poets, writers, and painters made Absinthe their muse. Absinthe, known as the Elixir of the Gods, symbolized a Bohemian era that enlightened the world. It was known as a loophole for France's unjust ban due to their national alcohol issue and for some of the world's most famous using it throughout history.
At Wormwood, we strive to introduce you to some of the best Absinthe available and take your palette on a unique journey!
Located in University Heights, our space features a vintage Paris design. We have a patio that directs into a semi-private event space called "Le Jardin Secret." We are available for private or semi-private events. With three event spaces, including the Main Dining Room, the Outdoor Terrace, and the Secret Garden, we can accommodate seated dinner and cocktail events for a blended seating of 105 guests.
Create your dream elegant social or corporate event here in San Diego. Let our team elevate your guests' experience with a Chef's Table Dinner, an Absinthe Tasting, and Live Music and entertainment.

Venue location, appearance, value for cost, and professionalism of the staff: 5/5 stars!
My husband and I got married at Wormwood in May 2025; it was the honor of a lifetime. Worm...
wood is the most beautiful venue, offers the best food, provides San Diego’s best cocktails, and employs both the most professional and kindest wait staff we have ever encountered. Leading up to the event, Chef Omar, a world class chef, and Lukas, General Manager extraordinaire, helped us coordinate the logistics, tasting menu, and worked directly with our day-of coordinator.
The most honest review I can leave is sharing part of our thank you note to the Wormwood team.
“The appetizers, the absinthe tasting station, the entrees, the rain, and the cocktails all felt as though they were dusted with magic. I was told by no fewer than four friends, who have lived around the world, that Wormwood served them the best food and cocktails they have ever enjoyed. Our nieces, friends, family, and I had the best time dancing with the sweetest staff in the rain.
All of these details, and more, were created by magic. But the magic was Lukas, Chef Omar, and the team working hard behind the scenes. It was your kindness in pivoting from the plan that made it even more memorable and perfect. We love Wormwood, we love your team, and we are honored and love that our marriage started in San Diego’s most beautiful restaurant.”
Our wedding at Wormwood was a dream come true, and they will do the same for you.
