World Cafe Live

This place was clean, the food was fresh, and the drinks were perfect. The chef came out and greeted everyone. The bar staff were attentive. The music was great and the energy of the crowd was electric. I completely enjoyed myself.

Really amazing and intimate venue for seeing favorite acts and discovering new ones. I've only been there a couple of times - most recently to see the Squirrel Nut Zippers - but I really should get over there more often. There's a restaurant in the building but other options are just a short walk north of the theater.

Wonderful promotions of local artists and bands, multiple different bars and stages for different kinds of performances, excellent staff and attention to detail, a hand curated cocktail menu with trending and completely unique items. I absolutely loved the feeling of the place and decorations use of the space with decades of different memorabilia scattered everywhere! Would highly recommend for musicians looking to promote themselves or just to meet friends and have great food and drinks with awesome entertainment 10/10 I couldn’t think of anything that even could be improved!!

My boyfriend got tickets for us to see Savannah Cristina in concert and reserved us a table for dinner. I ordered the catfish and grits; it was very tasty, and the entree portion was filling. The Manhattan drinks were good, along with the lava chocolate cake for dessert. The opening acts were good, and Savannah, of course, stole the show. Overall, the performances were great. The venue has a nice intimate touch as well, so it's perfect for date night.

Awesome venue for live musical performances. I highly recommend it!! Since I had only been to the downstairs venue, I didn’t know what to expect with the upstairs one. I reached out to WCL on messenger to ask about seating, and they promptly responded. They suggested we make a dinner reservation to secure a table. When I looked, the tables were all booked, so we decided to show up early and put our name in for a table once we arrived. We instead found seating at the bar and stayed there for the duration. Every seat was great, especially since the room only seats about 120 people. We were very happy with our seats at the bar. We enjoyed a delicious meal, great craft beer, great friendly service and a fantastic performance by Tuck and Patti. The entire experience was perfect!!!

This is such a great and important venue for Philly. You have acts large and small, indie and corporate, and a two-theatre venue of a great size. I've had an awesome time getting to know artists of all ilks here.

Went here for a bowling for soup show. Super cool and intimate venue. I only got water but everyone else around me seemed to enjoy their drinks. Great sound and great staff. I parked at the garage around the corner but I think there is street parking.

Thought the acoustics were excellent, and as always, any venue where Del Amitri play is worthy of five stars, but this was a very good venue

The sound was amazing! I hadn't been to The Lounge in a very long time. The staff was great, the beer selection was excellent and the food was good. Sun Dub with Bakithi Kumalo was the show. It wasn't very crowded for such a well-publicized show but for those of us that were there, it was a blast. The facility was also very clean.

This venue is really cool. They have a table area and I was there on the bottom floor. We were still able to see and able to enjoy the concert.
