World Cafe Live

Monday – Friday: 10AM-5PM (10PM if a show/event is scheduled) Saturday – Sunday: 5PM-10PM (unless an earlier show/event is scheduled)

The street parking by the upper entrance ends at 8, so if you're there for an evening show, you won't have to pay much at all. You can also increase your time from the parkmobile app if you need to.

You can do either or both

Hey Marissa - our website is currently down due to a nationwide Ticketfly outage, but you can still find info on our Facebook & Twitter pages. Tonight's Havana Nights event upstairs is free, downstairs '90s Old School Hip Hop Summer Party is $10 at the door.

Typically yes, but it depends on the show

Yes! The bar is accessible from all areas with any ticket type.

A few Black hometown favorites curate WCL shows and events fairly regularly. Keep up with The Bul Bey on socials - he is very Philly, and always working with World Cafe Live, The Franklin Institute, REC Philly, Black Music City, and WHYY to get local artists shows and opportunities

It's usually a lot of street parking available but there is also a parking lot across the street for a fee

No

Website?

Yes! Most events (including the Radiohead Tribute) are all ages, unless otherwise noted on the ticketing page.

Hi Lee! Tonight in The Lounge we have an indie rock show with Brother Moses from NY & Philly locals Dominy opening.

Hi Ann - the Foo Fighters are not performing at World Cafe Live. If you're referring to SOS Fest, it's a virtual festival with sets filmed at venues across the country. The Foo Fighters are broadcasting a set from LA, and it is free to watch on YouTube: https://yt.be/music/SOSFest

It varies depending on the show, when it starts and how many artists are playing. During the week usually 10 or 11pm.

AKA is the closest, about half a block away. (https://www.stayaka.com/aka-university-city) Other options include The Study (https://www.thestudyatuniversitycity.com/rooms.html) and Sheraton (https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/phlus-sheraton-philadelphia-university-city-hotel/).

Either/Both depending on the show

You will be able to get into the mezzanine at 7pm when doors open. A limited dinner menu & drinks will be available on the mezzanine. If you'd like to come in earlier, you can dine in our upstairs restaurant with the full menu before you head down for the show!

Very easy to find on street!

Our monthly open mic nights are currently on hiatus, but we'll be bringing them back later this summer! First Tuesdays.

Yes

It depends on the band...but usually out by 10:30.

Don't think so

Dress code???? Ha,Ha,Ha...

Verify the show is not sold out..otherwise you would be able to purchase tickets at door. Call ahead.

World Cafe Live has a variety of performers, including some occasional programs that might appeal to younger audiences, but mostly it's a venue for live, adult oriented music in several genres, including singer/songwriters, blues, rock, world music, Americana, roots, etc. You would have to contact them to find out about your own specific type of performance.

No as they say The Show Must Go On

Or go to the website

Looks like standing room only.

Only if the show was cancelled

Honestly I think that's going to depend on who's playing and be subject to the rules for each performer(s).

Yes, first Tuesday of every month: https://www.worldcafelive.com/search/?q=philly+rising

The club is owned by WXPN, which is a non commercial college radio station. Contact them & you should be able to find your way in.

Taking the train is the best way to get here. Only a short walk from 30th St Station

Do not ask that here, this is a community help page, not being answered by the owners or operators of the business. Just check their website

Shows are almost always for all ages, they have wristbands to tell who can order alcohol

It's free to get in unless they are having a special venue

Yes you can buy tickets at the box office but they still charge fees. If you are a WXPN member and show your card, they will give you a discount.

upstairs stage is "coffee shop/cafe-style" seating, I believe 1st come, 1st serve. Downstairs, is 500 ppl of standing room, plus mezzanine and balcony. guessing you are prob either General Admission/ Standing, or the 2nd/3rd section balcony-level house-right.

Parking garage

yes they do

5:30-6:30 from their website

There is meter parking along Walnut Street. Usually you only have to pay up to a certain time. I am guessing 10pm thete. So if are attending a show at night, you only have to pay up until 10pm.

There's a cashier by the upstairs restaurant. They'll have your tix there.
