World Cafe Live Details
The Experience
Finally! A live music venue for grown-ups. The multi-level venue features a casual dining/listening space, 300-person bistro-style concert room, music shop and WXPN’s radio studios.
Settle into the sunny ”Upstairs Live Cafe” where, through late-night eats and drinks, you can enjoy live music and food in a city-chic setting. Downstairs, past the enormous, colorful mural and WXPN’s studios (Go ahead and peek into the window. You might catch the namesake show being taped), is the main performance venue featuring nationally-known artists.
No sticky floors here. “Downstairs Live’s” muted colors, contemporary design, top-notch sound system and good sight lines create a lively, sophisticated atmosphere. Food and drinks are optional but advance tickets are required.
History
When a brainstorm hit a local entrepreneur/amateur musician simultaneously, he decided adults needed a place to hear live music. Turns out WXPN also needed new studios, especially for its nationally popular show, “World Cafe.” Mutual interests merged and six years later, World Cafe Live came to be.
