by Audria Stillwell on Went there with the girls and had a good time. Great music, delicious and well priced drinks, friendly staff. It does tend to get really stuffy though, due to the place being very small and always crowed, but like I always say, it's only a sign of popularity. Will certainly go back!
by Dana B. on I absolutely love the World Cafe. I've been there three times to date--twice in 2006 for two consecutive shows; Ben Jelen (with the Alternate Routes as his opener) and Will Hoge (with The Trews as his opener), and once in 2008 to see Ben Jelen (with Standard of Living as his opener). The two times I saw Ben Jelen, he performed upstairs and that is my favorite part of the venue as it is the most intimate performance setting. When I saw Will Hoge, he performed downstairs and my friends and I rocked the front row for that performance. I have never made it to a Free at Noon show, but my dad has gone (to see Hanson...oh how jealous I was even though I had a meet and greet pass to their show at the Troc later that evening...I had no choice but to go to school that day and not see Hanson's free at noon show. However, Taylor was happy to hear during the meet and greet that my dad had attended the noon performance). World Cafe also has great food, drinks, and desserts, so if you're attending a show upstairs, make sure to get there early enough to get a table close enough to the stage! There are also tables downstairs but I am not sure if they always have seating for downstairs shows. Regardless, I will definitely be returning to World Cafe Live and hope to perform at one of their weekly open mics sometime in the near future.
