Cafe Wha?

Discovered this place quite accidentally. Was pretty crowded and service was slow, but I couldn't blame the wait staff for that because they had their work cut out balancing drinks and food amongst dancing patrons in a really tight space. The highlight is the live music, they have a lineup of extremely talented musicians specializing in different genres and there's stuff to like for fans of rock, blues, pop and even some lively Spanish music. Great place to have a good time if you like live music and it's pretty affordable considering it's in Manhattan.

This place is absolute trash. The staff consists of airheaded zeros. We checked in at the door and walked down the stairs to the hostess who was to seat us. A bonehead stood by the stairs (we assumed he was security) and shouted out that we didn’t have reservations. We explained we checked in at the door and It wasn’t until he blocked us from the venue that he said we were to check in again. We simply did (while wondering why he didn’t ask in the first place to avoid the back and forth) and proceeded with the hostess. She told us our only option was to sit in the inside of a booth with a party of 6 already tightly seated with their table full of plates. It was already so close to showtime and the place was empty so we asked if we could sit at any of the many other empty tables. She got unbelievably rude out of no where, so we decided to leave. Absolute waste of time and energy. I cannot emphasize enough how much this place and their staff is absolute garbage.

I was so excited to visit this place because my friend recommended so when some friends from Germany came to visit NYC we took them there. Let me tell you something I never felt so embarrassed in my entire life. Right after they bring you what you have ordered you will be ask to pay immediately or they will tell you to leave if you don’t do as they say. Im death serious, I never visited an establishment with that kind of policy. The staff is rude but the Manager is a “Disgusting Pig” Sad tho because the music is pretty good..

We probably would have had a much better experience if it wasn't for the terrible service. We had a group of 8 people and our bill was close to $600. Service was the absolute worst and the tip was automatically included in the bill. Our waitress refused to split up the bill 2 ways and once we ordered she never came back for waters or refills. We had to find other waiters to ask and even had to go up to the bar ourselves to order things. Not fun.
