Long Time Ago Review - Was Hip Hop.
I went here about 10 years ago - dinner, drinks and hip hop - it was SOO much fun. Not sure if they still have a Hip-Hop night..??

The band was really good.
We heard many good things about Cafe Wha? from family who goes there often.. I'm not really a fan of live music from house bands doing covers so it never was on the top of my list of places to visit. The decision maker was really their website advertisement of Sunday having no cover.. Having trekked all the way from Jersey on one of the coldest nights ever.. we decided to still go in after we wer...

Wha?s everyone talking about
I read a couple of the most recent reviews, and I cannot understand what people are talking about? Cafe Wha? is one of the most fun places in all of New York. The band is phenomenal, especially the house band. Every time I go, the band has the crowd up and dancing. I recommend this place to anyone who likes great live music, and enjoys dancing, and having a good time!

Wha is the matter?
Years ago I used to come here a couple of times a week. But now the management and the entertainers don't really seem to care anymore. It's like they're not even trying. Actually, I'm sure they're not even trying. There are not many places in New York to see live music anymore. It will be a shame if this one, especially with its history, ends up packing it in. C'mon Wha, wake up!

How Cafe Wha Lost $1200 to $2400+ in One Night
I went on a Sunday night, which is supposed to have no cover, but they charged $10 because of a Monday holiday. Strike one. I sucked it up and agreed to pay the cover. Inside, I found out that they did not serve coffee. I ordered a drink then went to Caffe Reggio for my coffee boost. I returned to Wha, where they told me that I could not take the drink to the table where my friends and the d...

My fiance recommended this place because he thought it would be a fun place to go with my 8 friends for my bachlorette party. After standing in line for a while, we were ushered in to a cramped dark basement and seated at a table large enough to accommedate my group. After settling in, we were asked to move to the far corner because another group had waited patiently. More patiently than us? ...

Bring back the Band!!!
I can't believe t they fired the band!!! Cheryl we miss you. It's not the same. They're trying, but it's just not the same. NOT THE SAME. The Cafe Wha had a great run, but at those prices and no more band I don't think it's really worth it anymore. Maybe they'll get it together. I hope so.

My Cafe Wha experience
I went last night to celebrate my birthday. Invited about 10 or so friends out to join me. Prior to arriving, I called and e-mailed the week before to confirm the cover and any other information I should know about. No one ever responded to me. When we arrived, the cover is $10 (it's advertised as $5 on a lot of other websites)...no biggie...BUT, it's $10 + a 2-drink minimum. Nowhere on their web...

Best for live music in NYC
Best live music. The band is like nowhere else. Had a great time in a great place. Got to be crowded but it is part of the atmosphere. Whenever I come to NYC I visit and it is just getting better every time. Thanks for a special evening and see you next time.

Got to eat, drink and have a blast. The host was super nice and gets you all exited for all the right reasons. Will highly recomend it to all my friends. See you soon.

one of the best live venues in nyc
I usually prefer a lounge with a DJ but ended up here for a friend's birthday party, 5 years ago. Since then, I make it a point to go out here, at least twice a year. The band plays everything from classic rock (a la Pink Floyd) to various Jay-Z, and 90's Hip Hop/Alternative Medleys. Just be sure to make reservation or be ready to wait in between sets.

Live Music
Cafe Wha was very cramped and crowded. You are seated wherever they can find room for you so you will probably make new friends. Too loud to hold a conversation. It looked like the musicians where going to bang their heads on the stage lights. The music and drinks were good. I would go to Cafe Wha again.

Depends what you're looking for...
If you're going there for the music, its not half bad but if you're going for a drink and bite to eat you will probably be turned off by the high price. Both go hand in hand pretty damn well though, there's a reason why this place is popular. If you get it you'll dig the place. If not, meh.

Tourist Trap (Literally Trapped by Husky Doorman)
I'm a NYer who went to a friend's birthday party here. The cover band ranged from quite good to horrendous, but the disproportionately touristy crowd seemed delighted with the parodical band and that made for a party atmosphere. The beer selection is what you might find at a small midwestern airport -- bottled Coors, Corona, Bud Light etc. -- but our waiter worked hard and was responsive. Overall...

I went to the Cafe Wha this weekend. It was pretty empty and the band was just not the same as they used to be. The energy was kind of low. Maybe it was an off night, but it felt really different.

A Little Too Cheesey For a New Yorker
Some of the performers at the Wah were just too corny for me. Except for the rock guy who played guitar and sang, most of the performers were just doing typical Disney World, Pleasure Island corny tourist stuff. They were all really talented, just too geared to the out of town people. Not quite worth the $20.00 to sit in the cramped basement.

Guaranteed (& mainstream-y) great night out for events/tourists!

Excellent Evening Out!
I have been to Cafe Wha? quite a few times in the few years I've lived in New York City, and I enjoy it just as much as the first. The bands are always fantastic, and the servers I get there are always very friendly. The dance floor can get crowded at times, but the vibe is so good, that no one really seems to mind. If you've never been, it is certainly a place you have to check out.

So much fun..
The place is tiny. You're rubbing shoulders with everyone but no one seems to care since they are having fun. There no trendy decor, just some raw fun.. The life music makes you want to dance, which people do in the tiny hall way. Drinks are cheap and the crowd lively. I absolutely had great fun at this place. Of course I got trashed too. :) Get there early if you want seats.

I'm a local and this was possibly the best live music i've ever heard
I'm not a tourist, Im from right here in Manhattan, and tonight was possibly the best live music that I have heard since I have been here. The Wha band's energy combined with genuine musical talent and passion for performance was stellar. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great music and fun, but don't attend if you hate dancing, because here, you just can't help yourself.

Great, funny, fun, surprising
Great for party, fun, starting with funny scene, end with fun also. It's really great, some waitress is really worst, but it's fine. Check your bill all the time, I was charged which one is not my order. It's a little overcharge. Covercharge $ 12 per person, and you will have tiny space for seat. Anyway, it is fun place.

Simply loved the place. The atmosphere is capturing, and its created by the amazing group of musicians that are on stage. The house band provides such a diversity of fun and talent, that we could not leave until the end of the night. They are funny, entertaining and sophisticated.

About 15 of us ended up here for a birthday party. What a waste of time. The closest thing I could compare it to is being on a cruise ship. The comic was only OK, then the band comes on, demanding respect and participation wile they sing super mass market rock songs, (Tom Petty, etc).

I saw the Wha on CitySearch and wasn't sure what to expect. It was fantastic. I'm embarrassed to say I had one of the best nights of my life. I've lived in New York for three years, and I had kind of given up on finding any really fun place to see live music. Now I've found one. I'm not sure why the review says "out of town crowd" - it seemed very New York to me. Very diverse crowd.

This is a nice spot go to to listen to some live music. But if dancing is your thing, stay away. There is no dance floor so everyone is dancing in the isles. I tried dancing for about 10 min but gave up, someone is always trying to squeze through and bumps you out of the way. Very annoing.

The best live music in New York
What I like the most about Cafe Wha? is that it does not have the "commercialized" atmosphere that most of the other places have. It is a unique, friendly environment. And, of course, the best part is the live music! On Mondays they usually have live brazilian music and, being that I am from Brazil, I must say it is the best place to listen to some good brazilian music outside of Brazil!

I have been going to Cafe Wha for quite some time now. It is the place where I go party, listen to live music or just chill and hang with my buddies. They always have the most unique bands on. Their bands are true.....entertainment.

best damn band, bar none
these guys are like some universal translator of talent. pick a genre, they can do it and do it well- funk, rock, grunge, standards, pop, reggae and more. theyre fun to watch, great to listen to and always keep you guessing what's going to come next while youre enjoying whats coming now. drinks are reasonable and the vibe is always easy.

My best friend and I had gone with a few friends there for the first time last month. We had to wait a while to get seats, but the wait was worth it. Got great seats next to the stage and had a wonderful time with our waitress. The music was slamming. They had so many different kinds of tunes playing all night with great singers.

My Favoriate Spot in T own
Cafe Whoa is unlike and other place in NYC. The talent eluminating from the stage puts a smile on every face in the place. Just when you think about a song you would love to hear them sing, they sing it. From Rock to Pop. It's fun for every one. Prepare to be entertained. It's worth very dime every time.

Fun place. Go here for a girls night out- or for a fist date- actually it's great for first dates- very lively, sing-a-long music and great atmosphere that will get chemistry going. Get up in the isles and dance - you'll have a blast!

a place for everyone

alive
Cafe wha is an amazing spot. The live music is mind blowing, everytime I go there's a line, but it's worth the wait. There is alot of interaction between the band and the audience. The band comes alive every night. The drinks are strong, and reasonably priced. I must say if you go once you will become addicted, and you start to feel like you have a family there, because the spot is so intamite.

Wha? did you say?
Cafe Wha? began with Jimmy Hendrix in the 60s and has never failed to produce anything less since. The musical talent, spontanaity, liveliness, and interaction the Wha? band brings to this homey environment is both liberating and overwhelming. Cafe Wha? is something everyone should experience atleast once.
