The Birth of Convoy Music Bar

Convoy Music Bar was established in 2022 by Shōwa Hospitality, a San Diego-based consortium led by Julian Hakim and Aram Baloyan. Shōwa Hospitality is a visionary company that specializes in developing innovative hospitality, food, and culture concepts. Their mission is to create spaces that offer a blend of exceptional service, unique design, and quality experiences—and Convoy Music Bar is no exception.

The founders of Shōwa Hospitality recognized a need for a listening-focused venue in San Diego, a place where both music lovers and cocktail enthusiasts could come together to enjoy high-quality sound and thoughtfully crafted drinks. By creating a space that combines these elements, Convoy Music Bar is redefining the concept of a nightlife venue.

Each of their venues, including Convoy Music Bar, is designed to present fresh and innovative ideas that appeal to locals and visitors alike. By carefully considering the culture and character of each neighborhood, Shōwa’s spaces offer a welcoming atmosphere that encourages engagement and fosters community.

Shōwa Hospitality is not just about creating exceptional spaces; it’s about being an active part of the local community. With a commitment to youth organizations, schools, disaster relief efforts, and environmental sustainability, Shōwa strives to make a positive impact beyond the walls of its venues. Through local collaborations and ongoing community support, Shōwa continues to build stronger, more connected neighborhoods.
