World Cafe Live, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Restaurant Details

Food:

Very nice and classy venue. I went to see John Flynn, sound quality was fantastic and I had no problem getting a decent seat at the bar. The bartender was very quick and helpful. Drinks were pricy as it always is in the city, $8 Tom Collins. Had a $6 creme brulee which was very tasty. Overall it was a very good experience, I would definitely return.

Food:

RACIST BARTENDERS!!! I would come TO this cafe every monday for happy hour and jazz night. the staff was always nice and helpful. I even invited my mother, fiance and aunt telling them how great this place was. im not sure who these women were the night me and my fiance went which was 12/28/15 but they were extremely rude (seemingly to the black patrons). i witnessed the way she would greet other patrons compared the ones of color. she would hound people for ID's as soon as you sat down with jackets still on and purses still in hand and even after asking her to give us a minute, she insisted to argue with us and go back and forth stating that we could not even sit at the bar unless we were 21 which we are waaayyy over 21. i had to tell her 5 times that we just got there and needed a moment. we didnt even have napkins or menus! which are the two first things a bartender gives you upon sitting down. she then continued to argue with me and closed my tab slamming my credit card on the counter. when i asked for a manager the other server stated " oh she'll get him for you. im sure he'll be glad to speak to you" in a very sarcastic tone. the manager did comp the 1 wine i had to a chance to order however i will NEVER return. four white women sat at the bar directly after us in which she gave them napkins, menus, asked if they were eating or drinking and only asked for id after they ordered a drink. but EVERY black person that sat at the bar had to immediately show ID before receiving ANYTHING! she told one black woman that she could not sit at the bar becuase her ID was expired and told her to sit somewhere else. DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THIS PLACE!!

Food:

We were lucky enough to see Yuna perform here. The venue was intimate and perfectly lit. We got an up close experience with the performer and enjoyed it all. We had not eaten before, so we were able to catch dinner near the stage and then hop down to the front rows. This is a great venue to hear quality live music.

Food:

Great venue. The downstairs is all I've experienced, but the atmosphere and sound is fantastic. I wish the parking situation was better, but it's actually decent for the area. Hopefully an artist I like is performing upstairs soon so I can experience the restaurant. Definitely one of the best concert venues I've been to.

Food:

World Cafe has a lot of different events from all different genres. I particularly like their story slams. The food is decent, and they have a loyalty program where you effectively get $25 back after each $250 you spend on food there.
