World Cafe Live Reviews

Its a great place to have a concert in Philly it respects those who want to stand or sit and the staff is really nice!!

What a great place. Cozy candle light tables. Relaxed. Would live to go again to see someone else. Saw Edwin McCain was Amazing !!!

Best atmosphere wonderful people food menu small but 100% delicious drinks our divine reasonable prices hands down a must try!!!!!

Went here for a beer tasting. It was a nice set up. I hope I get to do that again.

Great place! I went there last night to see Enter The Haggis. They were excellent! I will definitely be going to see a few shows there again!

Went for a lunchtime retirement party.
Food was amazing. Staff friendly and helpful . . .
Great acoustics.

Went for a small concert. Food is a bit pricey but the location is very convenient and the band was awesome!!!

Great small venue for live music. Almost always something going on here most nights. Lots of smaller and/older acts as well as tribute bands to larger groups, and some indy bands too. Food service available

The main room has an utterly superb sound system and the people who run said sound system regularly deliver stellar live mixes and, unlike some of the suburban theaters, it's loud enough. The people who work there are entirely civilized. Those are the two things I care about in a live music venue.

Awesome and I really enjoyed myself would recommend to anybody to go!

Loved the show. Very limited menu unorganized. We had to stand in line for the food for ERIC ROBERSON. THREE FOOD CHOICES. FIID SAT ON TABLE WITH NUMBERS UNDER THEM PEOLE HANGING ALL OVER TRYING TO GET THEIR FOOD

Cool place for music; not as big as I thought, but also not as industrial as I thought. Nice and cozy feel.

Really neat space, this is my first time visiting the venue and it was for a comedy show.Located right off the El so you don't have to worry about parking. Clean venue and restrooms, very friendly staff.

Went there yesterday for the Tobe(Tobe Nwigwe) from the swat tour extension & it was great! Easy to find, clean, nice layout & nice comfortable floors especially when you find yourself standing for 3 hours but enjoying the music too much to care.

Worst experience of my life.

Arrived at 5pm- was told area was closed due to cleaning up from beer fest. Paid for tickets ($40) for 7:30 show- was told we can enter bar at 6:30. We were never told to reserve seating. Arrived back at 6:30. Was told we can t enter- was told we can t go upstairs asked to sit at bar- was told no (place was completely empty) was allowed to go to bar- but server took my wife s stool when she went to restroom. Placed us in a corner near trash directly in front of band. Staff (Wes) was either high or drunk or racist- because he saw my wife and I 3 separate times, told us 3 different things and was very nasty- along with his other co-workers. Had 90 minute commute to celebrate my birthday and didn t even stay for the show.

Will never ever come back here again

Good food and great ambience. Super great for NPR junkies like us (aka David Dye nerds).

Great place with amazing performances! Food and drink prices are better than most venues.

One of the best places in Philly to see live entertainment. The upstairs scene is really cool, and the whole place just has a good vibe about it.

A great music venue from a radio station (WXPN 88.5 Phila) that is doing great things for music. Drinks are okay, the venue is be it upstairs or downstairs!

Great venue for music. A Great Big World was amazing!

Great concert venue with great sound, plenty of room, calm atmosphere and older crowd. The bar is above-average and its a part of WXPN! We go here whenever we get a chance. Highly recommended.

Great venue! Felt so intimate even in the back at the bar

Your average concert venue. Worth going if someone you enjoy is playing.

Good food and great music! Service was sometimes hard to get ahold of to place orders with.

I attended the love awards in 2018 there and loved the place!

First of all, great sound - and for most of us, that's what it's all about: hearing your favorite band in a great space, but really HEARING them. Upstairs has a small space, but downstairs is where it all happens.

Great place! Good food! Good drinks! Great music! I had a good time!

I love this place! Great atmosphere! Great music!

My wife and I go here a lot. The artists seem to love it and it shows. Food has always been great and service remarkable, efficient, friendly and timely. I enjoy the ambience upstairs and downstairs.

Wild Belle gave a great performance and it is still one of the best sounding rooms in Philadelphia.

Sound quality at the venue is great! Good beer and food too

Nice place to perfom the only draw back is for performers....the dressing rooms are matchboxes

An excellent venue to hear live music. There isn't a bad seat in the house. I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the food as well.

This was my first show and definitely it was a great experience. I enjoyed the comedy and the artistry. Not to mention the girls were seductive and sexy. Definitely would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a fun night out.

The best adult music venue in the Philadelphia area

Had our annual holiday party here for work. Great food....great venue. I've also been here for concerts and the acoustics are amazing! Parking can be a little challenging.

Great venue for performances, convenient location with plenty of parking. We sat in the balcony and ordered food. All of the items we ordered were great, including the curry chicken, pulled pork and the eggplant fries. I will say that the service upstairs wasn't up to par, but it was hard to say if it was the server, or if she was short-handed. That said, the bartenders at the bar on the ground floor were excellent and very efficient! Looking forward to going back for future performances.

great experience, maybe some vegan food could ve made it better but otherwise a great time, great music, friendly staff, very clean and comfortable

Great music selection, good bar food, great alcohol selection. You get the small stage vibe and the big stage vibe in one place.

World Cafe live offers an amazing array of concerts and love performances in a great space. You can get food and drinks while enjoying your favorite show and the staff has always been incredibly friendly. I also had the pleasure of assisting one of their 'live connections' shows where they bring artists in to perform workshops for high school students. Highly recommend the space for any music enthusiasts, casual concert goers and anyone in between!

Amazing music venue, with a restaurant on the upper level. Go for Friday Free at Noon (need to reserve tickets in advance).

Always a great venue. I come here annually to see The John Byrne Band perform. I ve never had a bad experience.

Great venue for watching music. Service is always great. Drinks are on the pricy side, menu could use some change.

Excellent venue. Nice folks. Took friends kid to show, his first, he loved it

Food was delish, the venue is well maintained and chic, it was a great space for an intimate wedding.

I was surprised how good the food was, and the entertainment was solid as well. Great place for a larger party!

Really important venue to the music world, especially for up and coming talent. Very well thought out upstairs and downstairs stages, both with great food and drinks. I'm truly grateful to the owners for providing this amazing gift to Philadelphia!

I've never had a bad experience seeing a show, here just recently saw cory henry and the funk apostles

Chic and cool venue, but drinks are a little expensive

Unbelievable! First time here. So so so good. Especially the music

One of the nicest open mic places I've been to. Food prices are reasonable though drinks seems a bit on the hide side. Menu is small but everything I've tried there has been great. And there's a surprising amount of talent coming through.

Great place to see live music! Service is always great. The food is hit or miss.

Loved that I could place my order and pay for it and pick it up at the counter

A very comfortable setting, live music, good food and drinks.

Great venue and fabulous show! First time experiencing this wonderful club in all the years we lived in the Phila area- what a gem!! Now we are definitely looking into returning. Convenient parking nearby.
