Since the 1950s the Cafe Wha? has been a favorite hot spot cornered in the heart of Greenwich Village. The 60s was an impressionable and revolutionary era. Artists of the time frequented the Café Wha? as it was known to be a sanctuary for talent; Allen Ginsberg regularly sipped his cocktails here. The Cafe Wha? was the original stomping ground for prodigies Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Bruce Springsteen, Peter, Paul & Mary, Kool and the Gang, as well as comedians, Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby also began their road to stardom on this historic stage. The Cafe Wha? encompassed the Beat Generation and continues to hold tight to its spirit, entertaining all walks of life. Today, the Cafe Wha? showcases amazing talent with the three greatest house bands in New York City. Monday nights feature Brazooka, a completely authentic Brazilian dance band sprinkled with Jazz and Samba. Disfunktion takes on Tuesdays with soul music, radiating the roots of R&B and Funk. What about the Cafe Wha? House Band? Wednesday thru Sunday they will satisfy your every need for sound, hitting on all styles of music; Motown, Reggae, R&B, and Classic/ Alternative/ Modern rock.
