Café Cadena in Worcester

I attended Cafe Cadena recently with a group of seven people for the 'Bottomless Brunch'. The venue itself is nice; we were seated upstairs along with other groups which led to a good atmosphere and the selection and quality of drinks were good. However, we did unfortunately experience some issues with our experience. We were asked to pre-order our food in advance (the point of this being to ensure no problems with group orders), yet there was an issue whereby one of the orders was wrong. This meant food had to be sent back and one person received their food later than the rest of the group. Also, the portion sizes and quality of the food was poor. The tapas plates were very small and even the 'mains' item was not substantial. The Bottomless Brunch cost £35 per person for 90 minutes, but this felt slightly excessive due to the issues with the food. I would not pay for this again, however, would return to the venue for a drink.

Great service, very friendly staff. Champagne and cocktails were delicious. Surroundings and decor very smart. Our favourite bar in Worcester. Been to many bars around the U.K and have to say this is up there with the best. We haven't eaten there, but the food always looks and smells yummy. Always empty plates going past. Would highly recommend a visit if you want a sophisticated, chilled, relaxing time. Andy and his team do a great job, making you feel welcome.

Pre booked two booths for a function on Saturday night - great vibe, solid tunes, excellent cocktails and tapas served was superb. Nothing was too much for Harry and the bar team, we couldn’t have asked for anything more to be honest. Really chuffed we chose Cadenas for this event and many thanks to all the staff who supported us!!

Arrived with a couple of extra guests for bottomless brunch after checking prior this was ok, they were understanding and adapted the table to suit. However, we only had three rounds of drinks during the time we were there and had to ask for our next round. Prior to the finish time, we requested Prosecco by both staff to be told this was ok. When asked as nothing had arrived for 20 minutes, we were told that our session had finished although I asked before it had. They were clearly busy, but you’d expect more than two staff working on a bank holiday Sunday with a pre booked bottomless brunch for 12+ people and walk ins. This really made the experience less than average, fortunately, the food and actual venue was nice. I wouldn’t return again for bottomless brunch.

Food wasnt the best, bottomless brunch drinks we got 3 by the time they served us. Poor service and ignored the last drinks order and said it wasn't in time even though they agreed to pour it and it was within the 90 minute time.

Lovely modern bar situated within central Worcester. Nice atmosphere with good vibes. A wide range of beers, spirits and cocktails available to choose from. There is an upstairs bar which can be booked out for functions and private parties. A small outdoor seating area at the front of the bar too. I will be returning in September for Brunch which I am very much looking forward to. See you again in a few weeks!

In the bar now, having a great time, very friendly staff, great drinks, definitely recommend with 5 stars and we are coming back for bottom less brunch.

Great cocktails and great atmosphere! So glad we found this place!

Great atmosphere, attentive staff. Will return x

In tne bar now and its great, coming back again and recommending others,5 stars for the service x

We had a great time - bottomless brunch was excellent - will definitely be back.

After coming here previously for drinks, we decided to try out bottomless brunch. We booked in for the 4pm slot and we weren’t disappointed. We were greeted with Prosecco as soon as we sat down and given an extensive drinks menu to choose from. As we were a big group our food order was taken 4 days before to ensure that we were served out food 30 minutes after we sat down! Service and food were both great, cocktails were sublime! Only thing I would say is that we tried to book in for another slot but they were already fully booked so if you want to book this brunch make sure you book in advance!

I visited Cafe Cadena for Bottomless Brunch with my 3 friends last week and was absolutely delighted with the experience! The bar is clean and really modern, the service was fast & friendly and the food was absolutely brilliant! I’m not one to give reviews but I thought that cafe cadena deserved this as we all had such a great time!!

My friends and I had a lovely experience at Cadena last Saturday. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The selection of tapas and drinks was fantastic. If you're visiting Worcester for drinks I would highly recommend popping into Cadena, but especially for their bottomless brunch on Saturdays.

Fantastic bottomless brunch with the girls, service and food fabulous. Can’t wait to visit again, highly recommend!

We went to have a bottomless brunch. We bought a cocktail before which was lovely, but the actual cocktails at bottomless brunch were very sour and watered down. The food was absolutely atrocious, even the chips were awful and the calamari was like a rubber band. All of us left all our food. But nothing was ever said or asked to why we left our food. Personally, I really wouldn’t advise the bottomless brunch for the price you pay.

Had a really chilled few drinks in here with great service from the team here. Definitely will be coming back in here.

I went with my daughters & their friend on Saturday last. We were impressed! We were going to be abit late (train strike ) they were absolutely fine. It's a nice place & staff were really accommodating. Very nice indeed & helpful 👍 The cocktails choice of 5 or 6 which was fine & we thought not bad ?! The food was a surprise as it was actually really nice - we weren't expecting much but we're impressed. All in all I would certainly go again.

We had a fabulous time here. We came for a bottomless brunch but everything went a little bit wrong. At first we were worried as everything went wrong lol but the staff did an excellent job!!! It was the guy behind the bar, first day and he was panicking as it was his first day and he didn’t know the rules and the lovely girl was trying her hardest but was so panicked as everything was going wrong. They handled it BRILLIANTLY! We had excellent drinks! THANK YOU BAR MAN and the service was excellent. It made it a memorable experience and we would go back just to have the same experience with said staff on the shift! They made us so happy and we had a great time. The food was lovely and the drinks were. Thank you so much to the staff on this shift we know that you were so stressed but you did an amazing job and we appreciate all you did thank you for making it an excellent day.

Booked a bottomless brunch a few months ago, they explained that downstairs was booked out so would need to use upstairs, I asked if there was a lift due to family members not managing many stairs l. The gentleman reassured there was a lift that takes you most of the way then there is a short few stairs. This is through the back. When we arrived they said there was no lift and the main man working was extremely rude saying no one would mention them having a lift, as if I’d book my hen there to watch my mom struggle. He emphasised multiple times that 29 could make the stairs and 1 not as if it is her issue that she has lung problems l. Like if leave her downstairs. The tone and attitude from the staff were very rude. They said nothing would be done in respect of the deposit as there isn’t a lift and no one would say otherwise, a staff member also told one of the hen party that there is in fact a lift however it was broken. Would not use for an event

Got refused entry last night for wearing shorts. Offered to take them off. But apparently a birthday suit is not formal attire. Doormen / owner nice enough laughable chap but I feel to be enforcing such rules whilst wearing a rather worn suit from Next is hypocritical. I shall return in ones finest clothing and investigate more. Hopefully they live upto the standards they set their customers.

Been here twice for our date nights, both on a sat and on Friday evening . Ambience is relaxing , service is polite and efficient

Went here with friends for a bottomless brunch. The drinks were really good especially for the price.. Unfortunately, the food was not good. All of us had fries which we all agreed were extremely salty. I like salt and even for me, it was too much - we didn't eat them. I also went for the mac and cheese, as did one of my friends. Both agreed it was tasteless. Very disappointing as we were so hungry too.

Bottomless brunch. All round great time, lovely bar upstairs. Waitors were so polite, endless drinks. Food was great and tapas good portions. Had to wait a couple of minutes for oit table but given prosecco to start off. Excellent recommend and will visit again

Great cocktails, good atmosphere, great service

Perfect everything for our girls birthday. Fab service 👏

Best Cocktails in Worcester. No offers of cheap deals. Just good quality cocktails. Top class, lovely staff too.

Recently went there for a brunch. They had old menu's on the tables with old prices, so when wanted to order a completely different price was told. A short sorry was their reply. After a short think we decided to have the 5 for £30 tapas that was advertised on a board outside, just to be told that they don't offer them on Saturdays and that it states it on the board (it did not). Left us feeling unhappy and we chose to leave.

Female wearing jeans and a nice top not served because I didn’t meet the unknown dress code. Stood at the bar but over looked on three times and the bar man rolled his eyes when I asked to be served. Disgraceful sexism Disgraceful service!!! Walked out to be served with a smile in another establishment. Won’t return.

wow what a fantastic experience for bottomless brunch to celebrate a 60th Birthday, cocktails free flowing & excellent service from the staff,lovely tapas,great atmosphere will certainly return thanks to all the staff involved in making this a fab afternoon.

I hired the first floor for my wife’s birthday and, from the first conversation with the owner 2 weeks before to leaving the venue after the event, the experience was first class. Every staff member was fantastic and went that bit further to make it just right for us. I can highly recommend Cafe Cadena as a venue to hire for your special occasion. My experience was a very, very good one. Thank you Andy, and all your team 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻

Always visit cadena when I’m in worcester… staff are amazing but Rim the doorman is so friendly and professional I always have to visit! He keeps the vibe friendly all night, I’ve never seen a fight! He’s a top man and markets the bar perfectly. Take a visit you won’t be dissatisfied!

Nice place with good selection of drinks. Staff are nice. With a DJ on a Saturday night .

Super venue amazing cocktails great bar staff. Food looks amazing cannot fault. Bar man was above and beyond helpful . 10/10

Bottomless brunch! The staff and food were excellent. Drinks were quick and constant. We had a person that couldn't attend and as per the T&C's we knew couldn't be refunded but the experience was still worth the money. Went 1.30pm on the 3rd Feb! Highly recommend!!

First and last time. My wife and I sat there after spending nearly £20 on 2 drinks( our choice) minding our own business when a member of staff asked my wife to remove her hat ( very cold day) not an issue on arrival but…..we had bee there for about half hour and like I say, minded our own business. I wouldn’t mind but looking around, the place is not the best, gaffer tape holding the carper down in the entrance for example. Obviously we moved on after being made to feel uncomfortable and my wife and her hat where accepted in better and.more friendly bars all day ( cozy club, Botonist, all bar one etc much friendlier and recommended.

We had bottomless brunch which was lovely and the food was great. Chris took care of us and made sure we were never without a drink. Would highly recommend

Well the poor review rating is all down to one member of staff. The girl with the long hair has a terrible attitude and hasn’t got a clue in serving drinks. Her knowledge of the drink industry is zero and the prices they charge I expect a lot better service. The rest of the staff are extremely nice especially the chap doing the greeting on the door over the Christmas fair. I didn’t want to give this place a poor review because it’s very nice indeed in all other departments.

Great atmosphere lovely bar staff think it was Carolyn that was our server. Amazing cocktails.

I lived in Worcester a few years ago and remember the Cafe Cadena as a bank. The conversion has been brilliant. Would recommend this place

What an amazing welcome we had from 2 lovely people, I believe the man and lady were partners such a friendly couple as we called in on the off chance of getting a bite to eat and drink after our girlie shopping trip. It was very busy but they went to the trouble to find us a table, lovely atmosphere and food. Thank you so much for making our day complete. We will come and visit again in the new year. Sorry we didn't catch your names but you certainly went above and beyond.

We had a private work party upstairs. I was a bit wary given some of the reviews but it was a really nice evening. Bar service was good. Dietary requirements were catered for after liaison with the chef. Nice atmosphere and the perfect size for mingling.

Visited yesterday from cardiff, we were given wrong food by waitress, manager was so apologetic and even took money off our bill, but we were happy with the baguette and chips instead of posh toastie was delicious, and with the fake snow falling when leaving was a lovely touch, will definitely visited next year

We love Abby!!! We arrived for bottomless brunch at 4pm and had to wait a while for our table to be available. 45 mins into bottomless brunch we had only had two drinks and were still waiting on our food. Abby came over to our table to see if we wanted more drinks, we explained we weren’t happy due to how slow the service had been. She then went above and beyond and exceeded all our expectations and sorted out so many drinks for us. We really felt like we got our moneys worth in the end, she was so sweet and really friendly. The perfect waitress! Thanks to Abby we would come back.

What a fabulous place. Atmosphere lovely and the staff were amazing Nothing was too much trouble for them. Cocktails were freshly made to order. The wine was recommended by one of the gentleman serving it was lovely . Will definitely be going back again.

Ok my first girlie brunch - no idea why . Ok so I had no idea about the drinking rule , but we caught on quickly 🤣. Having worked in the industry there are certain things that should be part of training as standard. Here we go with the negatives :- staff never looked at the room seeing who required drinks , or food order etc had their backs to room . Server’s who chew gum in the work place NOT an attractive look, presentation of uniform could have been a bit better ☹️ Such simple things would give a much classy, stylish feel In general the food was ok, not brilliant Lemon with the calamari or bit of rocket could have made a whole heap of difference Place did have a nice feel about it , warm & welcoming but needs a few tweaks , and tweaks I believe to be so simple Not sure I would return as I am now aware that there are many more ambient places around I’d give it a 2/3⭐️

Awful experience. Good when it first opened gone down hill ever since! Service terrible, cocktails not drinkable and dirty toilets!

I hosted my 30th Birthday Party at Cafe Cadena and it was just incredible. I held it in the upstairs room and the atmosphere was amazing. The staff were attentive and fast and the tapas style food was brilliant. People that came have all said what a great night it was. Thank you Cadena Team!

Bit of a mishap to the beginning of the meal but the manager pulled it out the bag, managing to seat a table of 22/23 people without record of the booking! Everything went super smooth after that and we had a great time. Special thanks to Barbara for coming in on her day off, with a huge smile and excellent customer service. My cousin and I really enjoyed our birthday meal, thank you!

Very slow service, wasn't even that busy. Staff weren't overfriendly either. Won't be rushing back, sadly.

Came for 90mins bottomless brunch , they sat us down without explaining if they take your order or we order at the bar. We went and asked and they said they will come take our order. By the time they did this our first drink was at 4.20 ! They explained everyone on our table had to have finished their drinks before we could order another etc . I know at lot of places say this but ive always found they keep the drinks flowing but here they were so slow at taking orders and bringing the drinks out. Just not a great atmosphere at all. Best thing was the food which was really nice! Had much better bottomless brunch elsewhere!

A very frustrating visit. Ambience was good and the music was superb on the Saturday we visited. The bar service was totally chaotic. Understaffed and many customers left after waiting 20 minutes or more to get served. The cocktails were very bland in appearance. The bar ran out of glasses and there was a distinct lack of hygiene standards.

Nice pleasant place for a drink. DJ Cheeko is fantastic

Fantastic service by the young female, who left before we paid but we spoke very highly of her. (Thursday 14th September). Extremely attentive to our drinks need as we were out on our bi-monthly cocktail evening. Background music was brilliant too. All in all a fabulous time had by all!

Very nice design and good looking restaurant, service was good and efficient. I ordered wine and wine tasted like it was open for some time, not worth the price. Quiet expensive.

Nice bar in the city centre, good place to stop for a couple of drinks. The outdoor area is nice, but small.

The whole experience was just shocking. The place was empty only 4 other tables in yet took ages to get served as the bartender was so slow and not interested just seemed like he didn't want to be there, only words he spoke to us were 'what do you want?' No smile,please or thankyou. Then he just leans on the back of the bar playing on his phone. Then waitress brings out 5 bowls of fries for customers who must have left so she just gives them to the staff behind the bar who all congregate around them and just stand there eating, looks so unprofessional. Managers point of view...cover them in salt and give them to the few customers you already have and get some more drinks orders! Then when you did get a rush at the bar the chef walks out, pours himself a pint and laughs and points and says good luck. Everyone just looking in disbelief as to one why this guy hadn't served them because they didn't know who he was and two why he was laughing at them. Manager or owner get your staff sorted this is all very unacceptable, we would have stayed for another as the music was good as expected from ginge dj but left after that terrible customer service.

Shocking cocktails, bad service. Do not waste your money here if you fancy a posh cocktail. They don't fill the glass with enough drink, they don't dress it pretty and mine was off (egg white used with my permission but there was a ball of small slime floating in it). Berry cocktail tasted like pure lemons. When returned to bar man, he couldn't give a hoot. Saying...I've made hundreds of these. No apology. We requested a glass of wine instead (cant go wrong with that!). When we said you owe us the difference he said, no you have a large glass. When later checking the prices, he did owe us monies! Chap with man bun behind bar, needs a lesson on good manners and more to the point how to make cocktails. Note - others were returning cocktails too.

Great place to meet for a cocktail. Had a meal here which was tasty but a little bit overpriced

Fabulous cocktails and friendly staff.

Excellent Sunday night with live entertainment . Food was amazing and great atmosphere . Highly recommend a visit

Came for a friend's birthday party. On arrival downstairs the barrier was across the stairs so we stood at the bar to ask if it was okay to go upstairs. During this time there were no other customers waiting at the bar and 3 staff behind it. The staff did not acknowledge us and carried on their conversation. They then "on the sly" did rock paper scissors to see who would serve us. No draft drinks upstairs but had to buy up there if to count towards the party. Staff would stop half way through making a drink to have their own conversation whilst the bar was 4 deep. Only one guy knew how to make cocktails, one of the other staff saying to me multiple times sorry no cocktails as I'm not trained. Paid £10.50 for a double gin and tonic. Overall not a great experience definitely would not recommend for private functions.

Elegant, curat servire ireproșabilă

We came for cocktail master class. Toms food was amazing. Could eat it over and over. Lou and Barbra were so fun with our master class! Had the best time. Kris was so welcoming and so friendly, Gina was so friendly and helpful. Would recommend to everyone!

Brilliant service, great food, great drinks and lovely live music from HeatherPattsMusic.

Amazing cocktails, bar staff were amazing, and the new menu is delicious!

Me and my friends came here for bottomless brunch and were thoroughly impressed with the service we received. The staff members who served us - Molly, Bry, Ellie and Barbora - were absolutely fantastic and attentive to us while we were there. All were friendly...

A brilliant venue, we hosted a party in the private hire area upstairs and it was perfect. From start to finish the communication was great - a really lovely venue with amazing food (and v friendly chef!). Also a really good choice of drinks and...

This spot situated in the centre of Worcester is by the far the best bar I have been into in a while. This venue is a great place to take a group for a works evening out, we were all very well taken care of...

Met a group of friends there. Really good vibe and such good decor. We had tapas and cocktails Shall be back

Myself and husband ordered 2 cocktails and a pint of Guinness. We were charged £6.70 for the pint of Guinness and I couldn’t drink the cocktails as they were not fit to drink. They were remade and tasted much better but no refund was made...

Popped in for a light lunch and drink. Moderately busy but bar service only, not immediately obvious. Nice decor. Staff were pleasant but need some guidance. Don’t hold tumblers around the top near the rim, that’s just not hygienic! Member of staff making cocktails was...

Very busy due to the bottomless brunches, ok cocktails not really any wow factor, but we were upstairs might have been better downstairs? Doorman was blocking the door so it looked like we weren't allowed in on approach I was expecting maybe a smile and a welcome? But nah was more a scowl and indifference which was quite off putting. Staff upstairs alot more welcoming. Not sure I'll visit again tbh.

Great cocktails but very poor service. Visited in the afternoon and only our group and couple in the place, but not checked in with at all. Good soundtrack and suitable for time of day. Much better to visit in the evening when busy rather than daytime.

Popped in for a mid afternoon break, nice welcome, nice cocktail too, or two.... (Well one thing leads to another with cocktails this good)! Will pop back, when next in town!

Nice decor. Could do with more than one toilet for the ladies.

Dreadful. Bottomless brunch drinks took ages to arrive, were watered down. Food potions were tiny and cold. Two tapas included two pieces of garlic bread and two chicken wings. Toilets were dirty with no toilet roll. Will not be going back under any circumstances.

Amazing cocktails and lou working behind the bar gave amazing customer service even giving my hubby to be fruit with his pint(he asked for🤦‍♀️🤣)we come in here now hoping she's here!

Attended a private function upstairs. Lovely place, albeit noisy, but it was a Friday night. Buffet was not sufficient for the amount of people who attended. Fabulous night had by all.

First time visit last night with a friend of mine. Had two rounds of drinks on the second round the drink I had ordered was off the pineapple juice was green in colour and tasted awful. When I asked the manager behind the bar if I could change my drink he refused and went into a rage didn't let me explain the problem and thought I was referring to the alcohol used when in fact the juice had gone off. He took my drink off me and told me not to come back again. Never in my life have I been treated that way in a bar before he showed total lack of respect for me and then proceeded to mouth off at me outside when me and my friend left. He is a very angry man who is clearly in need of alot more training when it comes to customer service and how to speak to women. I don't recommended this place to anyone.

Great place for lovely tasty cocktails 🍸... Great prices too. Great atmosphere.

Most recent visit was appalling... cocktails where week and lack flavour.. was saddened to hear that most of the experience staff have left and the individual who stated " I'm the bar manager" needs to learn when to listen and when to be present and if you're asking for feedback take it on board and don't argue with the paying customer. This venue has great potential but fail to keep staff and fail to listen constructively to the customers. Have always rated Cadena highly until now.

pleasant enough, not cheap of course,but if you going to serve champagne and king prawns and other assorted nibbles ,then learn to do it properly.

Visited yesterday not for the first time. Lovely place to have a drink and chat with friends, but for some reason after 7 the music turned up so high couldn't hear each other speak, shame so left.

after reading reviews of the place and hearing that some great staff were running this place from other older venues in town we decided to visit for a saturday bottomless brunch. The staff seem to make things up as they go along making watered down...

Works party here Amazing food great service friendly staff would definitely recommend this venue

Erin has made our experience! She was so attentive and friendly and she is just what you need for the perfect bottomless brunch!

Spoke to the manager after my order was wrong, he was rude and aggressive. I feel for the staff that work for him. I got speaking to a waitingperson. which confirmed my suspicions of this poorly ran business, who was saying how much they were...

We came for brunch on a Saturday afternoon, the place is lovely, love the decor and the upstairs area is cosy. Unfortunately the brunch service was slow compared to other places we’ve been to for brunch, we waited 18 mins before we got our first...

Smart and trendy restaurant and bar.

Great decor good lay out nice cocktails and good food

Great place. Staff so friendly. Food was amazing.

Generally love going to Cadena for cocktails. Very busy for a Wednesday evening. Margarita requested with sugar rim was half in half salt and sugar. Only one bar staff. Advertised as being open til midnight but bar man came around all tables and said drink...

We have just got back in after having a meal off the Christmas menu at the Cadena. The ambiance of the place and decor is beautiful. The food was delicious and the staff were fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening made even more special by...

Brilliant experience this afternoon/evening visiting Cadena. Drinks & tapas really great & special mention to Leanne & Tom who ran the floor, so welcoming and fun - went out of their way to accommodate us and their warmth made the visit extra fun- definitely returning...

Great bar the best in Worcester!

Cadena had been recommended to us as a great place for dinner...what a disappointment. The kitchen closes at 8pm?! The food is rubbish and overpriced. We had cocktails which were full of ice and couldn't taste any alcohol... rip off The! The staff are so...

Amazing bottomless brunch yesterday, looked after by Erin and Ellie both superb, kept us topped up with drinks and looked after the whole time, really good food and range of drinks on the brunch menu had a great time for a family birthday 👏👏👏

20 of us went for bottomless brunch and the service, drinks and food were all spot on and well worth every penny spent! Big shoutout to Tom and Bryony for ensuring everything ran smoothly! Thank you x
