"Energetic house bands play at former hangout of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Allen Ginsberg & others."

Cafe Wha? is a Greenwich Village live music venue and house band destination that has operated on Macdougal Street in New York City since 1959. The Cafe Wha? House Band performs Thursday through Sunday, covering Motown, rock, pop, funk, hip-hop, soul, Latin, and more; the venue also hosts a rotating calendar of jazz, rock, and other genres. Cafe Wha? has offered live music since 1959, and the space served as an early venue for performers including Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Richard Pryor, and Lenny Bruce. Located at 115 Macdougal St. between W. 3rd and Bleecker in New York, NY 10012, accessible via the W4th Street subway station. Reviewers consistently highlight the house band's energy and range, with guests noting dancing in the aisles, singing along, and sets that mix English and Spanish music across eras and genres; some reviewers flag tight seating and a two-item minimum policy.

This vendor hasn’t completed verification

Verified vendors have uploaded credentials such as a business license or proof of insurance, and our team reviewed each document by hand. Verification is a trust signal, not a requirement: you can still reach out, and payments run through Stripe either way.

Cafe Wha? hasn't claimed their United Vows profile yet, but you can still reach them.

We don't have an email address on file for Cafe Wha?, so we can't forward an inquiry to them. The way to reach them today is to call (212) 254-3706. You can still send one here — we'll keep it on your inquiries list, and it will be waiting for them the moment they claim this profile.

Two things worth knowing before you transact:

If your booking happens on United Vows: A $100 United Vows welcome or favor credit, if you hold one — this credit comes off one booking here, in full, funded from our commission on it, once that booking is a booking of $2,900 or more, paid to them in a single payment of at least $1,500 — you get messaging, quotes and contracts in one place, your payment runs securely through Stripe against a signed contract, and if the vendor no-shows, cancels close to your date or delivers nothing you can file a claim from the booking, which they have seven days to answer.
If the booking happens off-platform: none of the above. Your credits don't redeem. We can't help if anything goes sideways.

The simplest move: when you reach out, ask Cafe Wha? to claim their profile. It's free and takes a few minutes. It keeps your booking on the platform where everything we built for you actually works.
