Q. Is there a food and beverage minimum for seated shows at World Cafe Live?
A.Yes. As of December, 2007, World Cafe Live has instituted a $10 minimum for reserved seating at our "Bistro" (fully seated) performances and a $20 minimum for "Roadhouse" shows (where standing room is also available). This change reflects a desire to assure that seating will be available to those who choose to eat and drink, and the reality that the revenue we earn from food and beverage sales is what enables us to present the quality and variety of music our guests expect.

Q. If I choose to eat upstairs before the show, will I still be charged the minimum?
A.No. When you are seated for dinner in the Upstairs bar & grill, please let your server know that you will be attending the performance downstairs and (s)he will validate your tickets to prevent the assessment of the minimum.

Q. Can I eat dinner during the performance? Will you stop serving at any point during the shows?
A. For most events in Downstairs Live, doors open and dinner seating begins at 6pm for the 7:30pm show. Generally we recommend you arrive early if you are planning on dining at the show as some artists request we not serve food into their performance.

Q. What is the menu like?
A. It is an eclectic and simple menu ranging from salads, burgers and assorted panini to entrees like Rib-Eye Steak and Orange Ginger Swordfish. There are also a variety of vegetarian options and daily specials. You can view our menus on our website at worldcafelive.com under Café.

Q. Can the kitchen accommodate special dietary needs, like heart-healthy, vegan, etc?
A. Yes we can. Just let your server know what your needs are and we will do our very best to meet them.

From time to time, our chef prepares a special menu that may vary from the ones posted on the website. Please call us at 215-222-1400 if you have questions about the menu that will be available during a particular show.
